Hardscape — the masonry that grounds the whole environment.
Patios, walkways, stair runs, and fire features — built in stone, concrete, and brick to match the home.
Every surface you walk on, sit on, or cook on outside.
Hardscape is the masonry layer of an outdoor environment: the patio you eat on, the steps from the patio to the lawn, the path to the pool, the coping around it, the fire-pit and the seat wall. It's what holds the design together and — done right — what makes the planting look good.
Three palettes we build a lot.
Natural stone
Travertine, limestone, flagstone, and stacked dry-stone walls — warm, classic, and well-matched to Mediterranean architecture.
Concrete & board-form
Crisp modern lines — board-form walls, smooth-trowel patios, and concrete pavers for contemporary homes.
Mixed masonry
Brick, stone, and concrete combined — terraces with seat walls, stair runs, and fire features in coordinated materials.
Drains. Lasts. Reads with the architecture.
A patio that ponds is a patio you don't use in the wet season. A patio that pitches the wrong way is a foundation problem. We detail every hardscape surface to fall correctly, expand correctly, and key into the planting around it — so it looks intentional and stays intentional.
