Hardscaping questions, answered

The things Bay Area homeowners ask us most before starting.

Hardscaping refers to the non-plant elements of landscaping, pavers, walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, stone features, and any built structure in your yard.

Hardscaping costs vary widely based on scope. A fire pit may start around $3K-$5K, while a full outdoor kitchen ranges from $15K-$40K+. We provide detailed estimates after consultation.

Some features like outdoor kitchens with gas lines or large retaining walls may require permits. We handle all permitting as part of our service.
