Hardscaping and Landscape services FAQs
Hardscaping & Landscape Services FAQs
What is the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?
Hardscaping refers to non-living elements in outdoor design, such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. Landscaping includes living elements like grass, plants, trees, and garden beds.
Why should I invest in hardscaping?
Hardscaping enhances your outdoor space by increasing property value, reducing maintenance, improving drainage, expanding living areas, and adding functionality such as seating areas, fire pits, and water features.
Do you offer both hardscaping and landscaping services?
Yes! We provide comprehensive outdoor solutions, including hardscaping (patios, driveways, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, etc.) and landscaping (sod installation, plant selection, irrigation, and garden design).
How long does it take to complete a hardscaping project?
Project timelines vary depending on size, complexity, weather conditions, and material availability. Most projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
Do I need a permit for hardscaping projects?
Certain hardscaping projects, such as retaining walls above a certain height or large patio installations, may require permits. We assist with permit applications and compliance with local regulations.
What materials do you use for hardscaping?
We use high-quality materials, including natural stone, concrete pavers, bricks, wood, and composite materials, ensuring durability and aesthetics.
Is hardscaping low maintenance?
Yes! Hardscaping requires significantly less maintenance than traditional landscaping. Routine cleaning and occasional sealing help maintain its appearance and longevity.
How do I maintain my hardscaped surfaces?
For pavers and stone surfaces, we recommend pressure washing, sealing, and removing weeds or moss that may grow between joints. For wood features, periodic staining or sealing is advised.
How long do hardscaping features last?
Properly installed hardscapes can last decades. The lifespan depends on materials used, installation quality, and maintenance.
How much does a hardscaping project cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, design complexity, and additional features. We provide detailed quotes and fair pricing for all projects.
