Common Questions About Hardscapes Installation
What’s the difference between softscape and hardscape?
Softscape is plants, lawns, and trees. Hardscape is non-living structures like patios, walls, walkways, and stone features — the backbone of a functional yard.
Can hardscape help with yard drainage issues?
Yes. Properly designed hardscape includes drainage solutions like permeable pavers or grading that channel water away from your home and prevent erosion.
Do I need a permit for hardscape construction?
Sometimes, depending on the scale (walls, retaining structures) and local zoning laws. We help guide you through permit needs in your Bay Area city.
How long does a typical hardscape installation take?
It depends on the size and complexity, but smaller patios or walkways usually take a week, while full outdoor living hardscapes might take several weeks.
Can you match the hardscape materials to my existing design?
Absolutely. We work with pavers, natural stone, concrete, and more, and we’ll help you choose finishes that blend with your home and surroundings.
