Hardscaping Design and Installation

Patios, walks, walls, steps and fire features designed and built as one plan with stone, pavers and concrete that match your home.

Hardscape is the structure of a landscape: the patios, walks, walls, steps and fire features that give a yard its shape and make it usable. Plants change with the seasons, but hardscape stays, so it has to be right the first time. In Nashville, where clay soil moves, rain is heavy and hills are common, a hardscape that is poorly built can settle, crack or wash out within a few years. A good one stays level and looks better as it ages.

We design hardscape as a whole, so the patio, the path to it, the wall beside it and the steps below all share materials, lines and scale. We choose pavers, natural stone, brick or poured concrete to suit your house and budget. Then we build from the ground up: excavation, compacted stone base, edge restraints, setting bed and careful installation with tight joints. Drainage is planned so water moves away from the house. We provide a written scope, and we explain how to maintain the surface once it is done.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about your yard and what you want, new landscaping, a lawn fix or a patio, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Visit and measure

    We walk the property, measure the areas and check sun, shade, soil, drainage and access, noting existing plants and anything worth keeping.

  3. 03

    Plan and explain

    We explain your options for plants, materials and layout, sketch the design and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.

  4. 04

    Prepare the site

    We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house and lawn, remove what must go and rebuild the soil and base.

  5. 05

    Plant and build

    We install plants, sod, stone and lighting with the crew on site from the first delivery to the last load of mulch, keeping the site tidy as we go.

  6. 06

    Care and follow-up

    We walk you through watering and care, leave a simple guide, clean up and set a reminder for your first-season check.
