"Hardscapes" is a term used in the landscape industry to describe construction projects such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, fencing, retaining walls, and outcroppings. Driveways, patios, and sidewalks can be esthetically designed and made of many different materials to suit your tastes and budget. When a design calls for soil retention, retaining walls of modular block, natural stone, fieldstone, or outcroppings can be built to be functional, as well as naturally beautiful assets to your yard. Flakne’s will recommend styles, sizes, materials, and positioning of all hardscape elements so that they blend naturally with your home's structure and overall landscape design.
