Question 1

What is hardscape?

Accepted Answer

Hardscape refers to the non-living elements of landscaping — patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and steps built from stone, concrete, or pavers.

Question 2

What materials do you use for hardscape?

Accepted Answer

We work with interlock pavers, natural stone, armour stone, concrete, and composite materials depending on project requirements and design preferences.

Question 3

How do I prevent my patio or driveway from shifting over time?

Proper base preparation is key. We excavate to the correct depth, install compacted granular base, and use edge restraints to keep pavers in place for decades.

A typical patio or walkway takes 2–5 days. Larger projects with multiple elements may take 1–2 weeks.
