Common Questions About San Diego Hardscaping

What exactly is hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements in your landscape – things like patios, walkways, and retaining walls. It works alongside softscaping (plants and natural elements) to create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces.

How long do hardscaping projects typically take in San Diego?

It varies widely. A simple paver patio might take a week, while a complete backyard overhaul could stretch to 6-8 weeks. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

Are your materials suited for San Diego’s unique climate?

Absolutely. We choose materials that can handle our intense sun, salty coastal air, and occasional heavy rains. This ensures your hardscaping looks great and lasts for years.

Do you offer eco-friendly options?

Yes! We’re big on sustainable practices. We use permeable pavers to reduce runoff, incorporate recycled materials when possible, and design with water conservation in mind – crucial for San Diego’s environment.

Can hardscaping help with drainage issues?

Definitely. Good hardscape design naturally incorporates proper drainage. This is especially important in areas of San Diego prone to water accumulation or erosion during our infrequent but sometimes intense rains.
