Our hardscaping design and installation services

Hardscape elements such as patios, pergolas, arbors, pathways, benches, fire pits, and ponds can create outdoor living spaces for enjoyment and entertaining. Great outdoors landscape and design can help you with many different types of hardscape elements that you can incorporate into your new or existing landscape design.

A paver patio will provide a “wow” factor and low maintenance to your upscale outdoor living area instead of a simple concrete patio. Walkways, pathways, stairways, and terraces can help you get the most use from every part of your property. Decorative elements such as pergolas, sitting walls, benches, and water features will add style and serenity to any landscape. Additionally, an outdoor fireplace allows you to use your outdoor space on chilly nights as an extra room. Any of these features is ideal for entertaining friends and family.

Hardscaping materials

As experienced landscape designers, we can work with a variety of types of materials when designing and creating hardscaping. This includes concrete, stamped concrete, pavers, brick, or natural stone. Each of these materials offers a different style and aesthetic look. Depending on your own personal preference and budget constraints, we can help you determine which materials are best for your hardscaping, walkway, retaining wall, and patio design project.

Hardscaping with Pavers

Stone pavers are man-made stones that are designed to fit or inter-lock together. These can be used to create a variety of styles and designs. At The Landscape Company, we have experience working with pavers to create patios of all shapes and sizes.

Retaining Wall Uses: Retaining walls can be designed for a structural, drainage control, or aesthetic purposes. For example, stone retaining walls can enhance a garden bed or highlight a specific area within your yard. They can be used to add several levels or dimensions within your landscape in order to add interest and take advantage of more space in a sloping or uneven yard.

Additionally, retaining walls also serve an important role in controlling rainwater drainage and preventing erosion. Finally, retaining walls can even be used to add aesthetic appeal or function to a landscaping or hardscaping design. For example, a retaining wall can be used to add additional seating to a space by creating a natural bench along a patio or near a built in fireplace.

Types of Retaining Walls: There are many different styles of retaining walls to choose from as retaining walls can be built out of a variety of materials. Different types of retaining walls offer a different type of style and durability. Therefore, selecting the best type of retaining wall should depend on your preferred style as well as the structural application of your wall.

The main types of retaining walls that we recommended for our customers include:

• Interlocking Block Retaining Walls: This type of retaining wall uses man-made, interlocking blocks of concrete, stone, or cement to build a relatively strong wall. They can be used for small or large retaining walls and are available in a variety of colors and styles to create a variety of looks.
• Stacking Stone Retaining Walls: stacking stone retaining walls are made by dry stacking stone to create a rustic look and style that compliments many landscaping designs.
