Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will outdoor hardscape designs increase home value?

    Absolutely! High-quality hardscape designs boost curb appeal and create functional outdoor spaces that buyers love. A well-planned outdoor hardscape—like patios, walkways, or under-deck areas—can significantly increase your home’s value while making it more enjoyable for you right now. It’s a win-win investment!

  • What's the best hardscape to put around your under deck area?

    The best hardscape for your under-deck area depends on your space and needs. Pavers hardscape creates a durable, stylish patio, while retaining wall hardscape solutions add structure and prevent erosion. If you want a seamless, low-maintenance outdoor retreat, hardscape patio designs with drainage ensure a dry, functional space year-round.

  • How long does it take to hardscape patio area?

    The timeline depends on the size, design, and site conditions, but most exterior hardscape patio projects take 1 to 3 weeks from start to finish. More complex designs—like pool hardscape, hardscape around trees, or hardscape hillside projects—may take longer due to grading and prep work. If you're adding hardscape around a pool, we ensure proper drainage and durability, which can add time but guarantees long-term quality. We focus on efficiency without cutting corners, so you get a stunning, lasting result. Want an exact timeline? Contact us for a free consultation!

  • Can you still hardscape backyard that is sloped?

    Absolutely! A sloped yard is the perfect opportunity for stunning backyard hardscape designs. We use expert techniques like hardscape retaining walls to level and define spaces, creating functional and beautiful outdoor areas. Gravel hardscape options, such as pea gravel hardscape paths, add texture and drainage, while concrete hardscape features provide durability and structure. Even outdoor stair construction can be incorporated for easy access between levels. No matter the slope, we’ll design a hardscape that transforms your yard into a stunning, usable retreat.

  • Do you provide under deck garden hardscape options?

    Absolutely! We can transform the space under your deck into a stunning, low-maintenance garden using hardscape flower beds, hardscape rock, and lava rock hardscape for a polished look. Want to add warmth? We can design a hardscape with fire pit to create a cozy retreat. Our team also installs hardscape pavers and hardscape edging to define walkways and garden spaces beautifully. No more wasted space—just a functional, stylish outdoor escape!
