Our Hardscaping Installation Process
The first step of hardscaping installation is to evaluate and prepare the site, which might entail removing current landscaping or hardscaping materials. If required, we'll trim, prune, or eliminate any undesired present materials. It could be possible to reposition some of the existing landscape or hardscape materials to other sections of your estate. Once your land is ready for its new hardscape elements, we move on to the installation.
Hardscape Priming
Our hardscape installation process starts with priming your property for the positioning of hardscape materials. Depending on the lay of your land, it might be necessary to tweak or modify the hardscape materials after positioning them to suit the design requirements. In some instances, larger elements like a boulder or wall may need to be shifted slightly for existing structures. If the need for excavation arises, we employ the 811, nationwide dial-before-you-dig hotline, ahead of any digging, planting, or tilling exercise. We can also identify the positions of utilities like wires and conductor lines.
Hardscape Setup
Our service professionals prepare and set up your features by placing your hardscape materials. Depending on the magnitude and complexity of your hardscape design, the installation can be spread over a few days. Our hardscape design specialist will share a detailed timeline of your hardscape installation with you.
Hardscape Final Touches
After your new hardscape is in place, there are a few additional elements that could make it even more remarkable. We can trim your edges to define clear boundaries between different sections of your landscape. We will consult with you about the best ways to trim the edges of your hardscaping elements.
Hardscape Post Setup
Once your hardscape installation is complete, our installation experts will ensure a thorough clean-up to leave your property in an even better state than we found it. At this point, we'll also do a site walkthrough with you to make sure our hardscape installation lives up to your expectations. We will also provide you with maintenance instructions and clarify any doubts you may have about managing your newly installed hardscape.
