Hardscapes are the areas or features created by hard surface materials such as stone, bricks, concrete pavers or rock. Patios, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls and walkways are all considered hardscape when created out of the durable, natural outdoor material. Hardscape features require minimal maintenance and if installed properly, should last for hundreds or years. Creating these impressive features is Southern Exposure’s specialty.
Hardscape projects add additional square footage to a home or business as it’s a place to be enjoyed year round. Proper installation is crucial to the stability and longevity of your hardscape investment. Choosing a company with certifications and experience is incredibly important.
