Hardscapes

Hardscaping your yard is about more than just aesthetics. It serves a purpose and is extremely important to the overall function of your outdoor space.

Improve drainage and minimize runoff in areas that may get flooded with water faster.
Assists in leveling off sloping or uneven land
Absorbing heat from the sun, materials like stone, rock, and concrete can help dry the soil around it.
Prevents standing water, over-watering, algae and mildew, and unwanted pests
Define your property line and section off various areas of your yard that you may want to use for other purposes.
An outdoor fireplace or fire pit drastically extends the use of your outdoor space well into the colder months

When designed and implemented correctly hardscaping also provides fluidity from the inside of your home to the outside. Building an outdoor kitchen, deck or patio creates and provides outdoor amenities that rival those of your indoor space. Having a usable living space outdoors helps encourage you and your family to spend more time outside and gives you a great place to entertain and host guests.
