After an intense process of finding the right Design Build company we choose Eco Minded Solutions for a large home remodel project for our Carlsbad home. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, everything ran smoothly. The crew was always on time and often worked longer than expected to keep the project on track. Loving our newly remodeled home and would highly recommend Eco Minded!
Hardscape Design
“Hardscape” refers to the immovable, non-living areas of a landscape, such as:
- Patios
- Gazebos
- Walkways
- Pergolas
- Sheds
- Retaining walls
- Pavers
- Fire pits
- Water features
We have developed relationships with local suppliers who provide only the finest quality materials for our designs.
Popular Hardscape Materials
Our creative landscape designs can feature a wide range of materials. We consult on your likes and dislikes, then our design architects compile the best options to create an environmentally conscious home that showcases your personal taste and lifestyle.
Hardscape material options include:
- Concrete
- Wood
- Faux wood
- Brick
- Tiles
- Natural stone
- Pavers
- Loose stone
You are probably already using concrete in your garage floor, driveway, and, perhaps, your sidewalk. For continuity, you may wish to incorporate other concrete constructions, polished or plain, in your new landscape.
Woods are a popular choice for decks and other landscape components, but don’t rule out faux woods immediately. They are constructed to be tougher and longer lasting than natural wood. If you enjoy occasional new projects, wood may be the right choice. If you’re a fix-it-and-forget-it property owner, consider faux-wood.
Bricks deliver a traditional elegance that many people love in their gardens. Bricks can be laid in a variety of designs and combine well with other materials. Since we live in hot, dry Southern California, bricks last longer here and are a wonderful design element.
The distinctive beauty of tiles often appeals to discerning homeowners. However, tiles do require more care than other hardscape materials.
Pavers and natural stone are available in attractive colors. Large slabs of granite, marble, or limestone add timeless elegance and opulence. Pavers are created to withstand traffic, so they are more durable than many other hardscape materials.
Loose stone is most often used in driveways or walkways but can be extremely versatile when employed by our creative architects.
