What are Hardscapes?

"Hardscapes" is a broad term referring to the non-living part of your landscape. The term can include many landscape accessories, like arbors, trellis and gazebos; but most often it refers to the patios, paths and walls that we often incorporate into your yard.

Why Are Hardscapes Important?

Many times, the hardscape features of a landscape design are those that establish the cohesiveness and style for the entire site. Because of their importance aesthetically, the attention to detail in the building material will also impact the overall design of your yard.

Here are just a few of the building materials cascade landscape uses to build your hardscapes:

Patios - A well designed patio will become an outdoor room of its own.

Pavers - An all time favorite of our customers. It's elegant look and feel adds a touch of class to any landscape.

Natural Stone - Gives an informal look to any space. Most of the stone available for patios is native of the Northwest. Its natural coloring and rich texture is unmatched by any other product.

Is Your Existing Patio Too Small or Breaking Apart?

Consider what a new brick patio would do for your outdoor living space. In most cases, concrete pavers can be laid right over the top of an existing paved surface, for an entirely new look.
