What Can Hardscaping Do for You?

Expand your outdoor living space. Many homeowners plan their hardscape completely, then tackle parts of the job in increments.

Enhance a barbecue. Whether you're using a small hibachi or a full-sized kitchen, hardscaping can create the space you need for efficient meal preparation and serving. This design by Jamie Durie creates a relaxed, comfortable space for enjoyable dining outdoors.

Direct traffic. Artfully positioned concrete pads form an elegant walkway to the home. The antiqued concrete complements the home's exterior and is found elsewhere on the property. The pattern mimicks the flooring in the foyer.

Define an area. Walkways, lattice and a bench help add structure for a vegetable and ornamental garden.
