Ecological Hardscape Benefits
Sustainable Design – We incorporate permeable materials like gravel, decomposed granite, and permeable pavers that allow water to infiltrate rather than run off. This reduces strain on drainage systems, recharges groundwater, and supports soil and plant health. Properly designed hardscaping works with your irrigation system and improves overall landscape sustainability.
Complete Integration – As a licensed landscape contractor offering full-service landscape installation, maintenance, irrigation, drainage, and landscape lighting, we ensure all elements work together. Your new patio coordinates with upgraded irrigation, your fence placement considers drainage patterns, your pathway lighting creates ambiance and safety, and plantings soften hardscape edges beautifully.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between a patio and a deck?
Patios are ground-level or slightly elevated surfaces typically constructed from stone, pavers, concrete, or brick. Decks are elevated wooden or composite structures that extend from your home. Patios work well for flat properties and integrate seamlessly with landscaping. Decks excel on sloped properties, can create multi-level spaces, and maximize views. We’ll recommend the best option based on your property and goals.
How much do patios, decks, and fences cost?
Costs vary significantly based on size, materials, site conditions, and project complexity. A simple paver patio costs less than an expansive flagstone design with integrated lighting and plantings. Deck prices depend on size, height, materials, and features like stairs and railings. Fences vary by material, height, and linear footage. We provide detailed, transparent quotes during complimentary consultations.
Do I need permits for patios, decks, or fences?
Often yes, particularly for decks, retaining walls over certain heights, and fences in some municipalities. Requirements vary by location. As a licensed landscape contractor, we’re familiar with local regulations and can guide you through permitting requirements.
Can you integrate new hardscaping with my existing landscape?
Absolutely. We frequently add patios, decks, fences, and pathways to established landscapes. We work carefully around existing plantings, coordinate with irrigation and drainage systems, and ensure new hardscaping enhances rather than disrupts your current landscape. This often includes adjusting irrigation, adding landscape lighting, and strategic planting to integrate everything beautifully.
What patio material is best for my landscape?
That depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and how you’ll use the space. Flagstone and slate offer natural, organic beauty ideal for traditional landscapes. Concrete pavers provide clean, modern lines. Interlocking pavers offer design flexibility and easy repairs. Permeable options like decomposed granite work beautifully in water-wise landscapes. We’ll recommend materials that match your style and site conditions.
How long do patios, decks, and fences last?
With proper installation and maintenance, patios can last 25-50+ years depending on materials. Quality decks typically last 15-25 years with proper care. Fences vary—wood fences last 15-20 years, vinyl and composite fences 20-30+ years, and metal fences can last decades. Our landscape maintenance programs can include periodic cleaning and sealing to maximize longevity.
Can you add outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, or other features?
Yes. We design and build complete outdoor living spaces including outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, decorative walls, built-in seating, fire pits, and water features. Many clients combine multiple elements—a patio with an outdoor kitchen, retaining walls that create terraced planting areas, or decks with integrated planters and landscape lighting.
Will new hardscaping affect my irrigation and drainage?
It can, which is why we coordinate everything. We adjust or relocate irrigation lines as needed, ensure proper drainage around and under hardscaping to prevent water pooling and damage, and design grading that directs water appropriately. This integrated approach protects your investment and prevents future problems.
Can you repair or refresh existing patios, decks, and fences?
Definitely. We repair damaged pavers, re-level settled sections, clean and seal surfaces, fix or replace damaged deck boards and railings, repair fence sections, and refresh tired hardscaping. Sometimes a thorough landscape cleanup combined with hardscape repairs transforms outdoor spaces dramatically.
Do you install landscape lighting for patios, decks, and pathways?
Yes. Landscape lighting dramatically enhances outdoor living spaces—illuminating pathways for safety, creating ambiance on patios and decks, highlighting architectural features and plantings, and extending usability into evening hours. We design and install lighting systems that integrate beautifully with hardscaping.
Can I combine hardscaping with landscape installation or other projects?
Absolutely, and this often makes the most sense. Clients frequently combine new patios or decks with complete landscape installation, add fences during landscape cleanups, or coordinate hardscaping with irrigation upgrades and landscape lighting. Tackling multiple elements together often provides better overall design and cost efficiency.
