Introduction
A beautiful yard isn’t just about grass and trees—it’s about structure, flow, and function. Hardscaping adds lasting value, enhances usability, and boosts curb appeal. At Ground Up Services, we specialize in custom landscape construction that fits your space, your style, and your needs.
What Is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping includes the non-living elements of your landscape: patios, pathways, retaining walls, fire pits, pergolas, and more. These features create definition and usability across your property.

1. Patios & Paver Stones
From modern stone slabs to classic brick, we build patios that provide the perfect gathering spot. Ask us about incorporating built-in seating or fire features.
2. Retaining Walls
Retaining walls help with elevation changes, erosion control, and garden bed definition. We design and install walls with both form and function in mind.
3. Walkways & Pathways
Safe, stylish, and practical—walkways guide guests through your landscape while adding charm. Our team uses stone, concrete, and gravel options.
4. Fire Pits & Outdoor Kitchens
Transform your yard into an all-season destination with a built-in fire pit or kitchen. Perfect for family time and entertaining guests.
5. Raised Garden Beds & Borders
Make your landscape work for you. We can build raised beds, natural stone borders, and other plant-friendly spaces to enhance your yard’s aesthetic.
6. Pergolas & Shade Structures
Create comfort and shade with pergolas that define spaces and protect you from the summer sun. We customize each structure to fit your yard’s layout.
Material Options & Local Sourcing
We work with a wide range of materials and local suppliers. Our most popular materials include flagstone, concrete pavers, pressure-treated wood, and decorative gravel.
Maintenance Considerations
Hardscapes are low-maintenance but not maintenance-free. We provide seasonal inspections, cleanings, and minor repairs to keep them looking their best.
Combining Hardscaping with Lawn Features
The best outdoor spaces blend green areas and hard surfaces seamlessly. We integrate lawn restoration and maintenance services to create cohesive outdoor environments.
Conclusion
Hardscaping is more than just a backyard upgrade—it’s a long-term investment in how you enjoy your home. Let Ground Up Services bring your outdoor vision to life with functional, beautiful, and lasting solutions. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
