Hardscape Design/Integration
Photoscape Landscape and Design offers many different types of hardscape. The following summary details some of our offerings and explains the benefit of landscape construction.
Definition is sometimes clearer or easier when describing what something is not rather than what it is. Landscape construction or hardscapes, as some refer to it, is everything in the landscape that is NOT planting. It is not alive. It does not grow. With minor exception it does not change its form after the job's completion. What you see is usually what you get - as opposed to the diversely fluid life span of the planted landscape or garden.
Landscape construction certainly defines outdoor space in the same way that planting beautifies outdoor space. It fortifies the functionality of the landscaping, pulling the user in as a participant rather than a mere observer. Its results are usually very immediate and in most cases permanent. It allows landscape to become architecture.
We specialize in designing and installing outdoor spaces, utilizing materials such as pavers, natural stone, and modular block. Most of our retaining walls, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and patios are built using some or all of these materials.
