Custom built stone and brick features are typically known as Hardscapes. Everything from patios and fire pits to side walks and retaining walls are classified as a hardscape. 

     Hardscapes not only provide considerable aesthetic appeal, they also serve as important functional improvements by helping guide people as well as protect the lawn and plants in high traffic areas such as common walkways and around backyard fire pits.  The installation of hardscapes is often the difference between an ordinary yard and a functional outdoor setting used to entertain guests or simply to relax and enjoy a peaceful evening.
