HARDSCAPE SERVICES

Adding hardscaping to your landscape allows you to extend your home’s living space outdoors. 

What is hardscaping? It’s adding materials such as wood, stone, metal and concrete to complement the natural beauty of your trees, shrubs, plants and flowers. At Chizmar Landscaping, the hardscapes we specialize in are patio construction, walkway and driveway paving, retaining walls, fire pits, fireplaces, kitchen and grill islands.  

Our team uses quality materials, outstanding craftsmanship and years of experience to install hardscapes that will make your outdoor space a place you’ll want to spend most of your free time. We use innovative Unilock products to ensure your paver and wall projects will provide many years of enjoyment.  

Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls

A retaining wall is a critical element for your overall landscape design. The structure, often made of concrete, rocks or boulders, holds or retains soil behind it to prevent sliding and erosion, while also being a decorative feature. The experts at Chizmar Landscaping will make sure that your retaining wall is both functional and attractive.

Hardscape design for edging and borders

Using Hardscape for Edging and Borders 

Using bricks, concrete, rock or stone for edging around grass can accentuate a well-manicured lawn. Edging and borders also pair well with plantings, flower beds, gardens, and seating areas for clean, crisp lines between landscaped areas. Hardscape edging also plays a functional role, preventing soil or mulch from spilling onto the lawn.

Quality Materials for Hardscape Design 

We carefully listen to your needs and analyze your outdoor site to choose the best materials for your hardscape design. Unilock materials are durable, made with colorfast pigments, are slip resistant, resistant to salt erosion, designed to tolerate oil and gas spills, and are backed by a lifetime guarantee. 

Our contractors use the Unilock palette of exclusive colors, textures and styles to showcase their creativity, workmanship and cutting-edge design. 

Popular Hardscape Materials: 

Bricks: A popular paving method, bricks add charm to patios, pathways and driveways. You can choose patterns that make the surface appear either formal or informal. 

Concrete: Don’t think of concrete as just a cold, gray slab. We can use concrete that’s stained, stamped, texturized, and embedded with other materials. This not only adds a beautiful element, but decorative concrete is less slippery than a smooth, plain finish. 

Pavers: The most popular pavers are concrete, brick, and flagstone, and are typically installed over pea gravel and bedding sand, but also can be placed on dirt or grass. We also will construct a permanent border to keep the pavers in place. 

Stone: Natural stone or flagstone is an attractive option for patios and courtyards. You can choose a more rustic look of irregular flagstone pieces or more formal cut, geometric shapes.
