What Is Hardscape Design and Installation?
Hardscape design refers to the planning and arrangement of non-living elements within a landscape. These include features such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, gravel paths, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. Unlike softscape elements (like plants and turf), hardscapes are built to last and provide foundational support and organization to the outdoor environment.
Hardscape installation is the hands-on construction process that brings the design to life. It includes clearing and leveling the land, preparing foundations, laying pavers or stone, compacting gravel, and finishing surfaces to ensure lasting durability and polished aesthetics.
Together, our hardscape design and installation services create spaces that are functional, beautiful, and low-maintenance, perfectly suited for Texas weather and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?
Hardscaping includes built features like patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Landscaping (or softscaping) involves plants, turf, and soil. Together, they create a balanced, attractive outdoor space.
How long does a hardscape installation take?
Projects typically range from 2–7 days, depending on complexity and size. We’ll provide a clear timeline before starting work.
Can hardscaping increase my home’s value?
Yes. Professionally designed and installed hardscapes significantly boost curb appeal and property value.
Is hardscaping eco-friendly?
Yes—especially when paired with permeable materials and native planting. Hardscapes reduce erosion, manage water, and can lower maintenance needs.
Do you offer design-only services?
We provide full design-build services but can also offer consultation or planning only, depending on your project.
