Things to do now are:
1.  Get a design
2.  Plan your project
3.  Select materials
4.  Get an estimate
5.  Begin installing hardscapes

Pleasant Grove Residence

This landscape is a perfect example of a "Staycation" yard. There is no need to leave the comfort of your home for a summer vacation. Complete with a trampoline, hot tub, fire pit, and swimming pool, who would want to leave?
The rock steps lead up to the trampoline pit. A flowing sidewalk goes around the entire back yard, and leads to the fire pit, grow boxes, hot tub, and swimming pool.

Timber grow boxes are surrounded by black cobble with weed fabric underneath to prevent weeds. Rock steps lead up from the sidewalk to a flagstone path and onto the fire pit.

Highland Residence

Flagstone paths are a great option for a walkway instead of plain concrete. They add an extra dimension to the landscape.
This is an example of a masonry fire pit surrounded by flagstone with sod between each stone. Groundcover such as wooly thyme & moss could be used as well.

Irish Moss, Scottish Moss, or thyme can also be used between flagstones.
Custom rock steps can be used instead of concrete. This gives the landscape a softer, more natural look.
