Hardscape Design
for Outdoor Living
Your Needs
Always Come First
Always Come First
There’s nothing more satisfying than bringing your ideas to life. That’s why the Carrington Lawn & Landscape consultative hardscape design process always starts with actively listening and asking thoughtful questions. We want to deeply understand your functional needs, design aesthetic, lifestyle aspirations and budget considerations first. Then, we can show you all the possibilities.
Design Your Outdoor Haven
We want you to be involved as much as you want. Whether you’d rather sign off and let us take creative liberties or you want to be part of every step – you’re part of the team. This is your outdoor retreat, after all. However you envision your yard, there’s no off-limits. Show us magazines, drawings, or describe what you picture in your head. You dream it – we bring it to life.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES & FIREPITS
Outdoor living is a growing trend, and for good reason. Increase the value and function of your home by expanding your living space to the outdoors. Outdoor kitchens can be constructed to include features like built-in grills, wood-fired pizza ovens, sinks, prep space, storage, and dining space. Outdoor Living rooms can include natural and gas fire pits/places, water features, and a variety of seating space options.
Fire naturally draws people together. Whether for functional purposes like cooking or warmth, or for aesthetic purposes, we can design and install the perfect fire pit for your outdoor gathering.
PATIOS AND WALKWAYS
Pavers provide versatility in design through color, pattern, texture, and finish. Pavers are installed over a flexible base and will not crack at the surface, unlike concrete or asphalt. Long-term maintenance is relatively low, and even old patios can be easily restored to look like new again.
With an increasing need for stormwater management, the applications of permeable pavers are more prevalent than ever before. Permeable pavers offer solutions to environmental concerns such as water harvesting and reducing impermeable surfaces. They are also options for drainage correction issues.
WALLS & STEPS
Walls come in many shapes and sizes and can be constructed from modular block or natural stone materials to form simple freestanding garden walls and engineered, load-bearing retaining walls.
The installation of stairs, steps and stoops provides safe and inviting access to any home or outdoor space. These hardscaping elements can be constructed from both natural and modular products to fit the design characteristics/guidelines of any landscape. Custom handrails or low-voltage landscape lighting fixtures can be integrated into the design of these components to enhance safety and functionality of your landscape.
