Landscapes consist of two main elements. There are the plants, flowers and other living things that bring color and vibrancy to the outdoors, and there are the nonliving, permanent parts that enhance the landscape and give it purpose. The latter is called hardscaping.
Shearer Patio & Landscape Services provides professional commercial and residential hardscaping near Columbus. We offer a range of installation and design services for your home or business. Hardscaping can transform the look of an area, improving the appeal and aesthetics of your property. You can also gain practical elements, such as better pathways or more effective retaining walls.
Hardscape includes the elements of your yard that have been built into the environment. Hardscaping contrasts with softscaping, which includes living things like trees or flowers. The majority of professionally designed landscaping features some kind of hardscape, such as fountains, fire pits, walls and patios.
If you can imagine it, we can do it. Our hardscape design and installation services encompass a range of distinctive offerings. You can get more use and enjoyment from your outdoor areas, whether at work or at home, when you add hardscaping. Our services include:
Patios: We can create a patio that sits outside your back door using pavers. We can add on to an existing patio and extend it further into the yard, too.
Paved areas: You may also want to add a paved area elsewhere in your yard where you can sit and enjoy the day or build an outdoor kitchen. Our team can also make paved courtyards for businesses, where you can showcase a fountain or benches.
Retaining walls: Retaining walls hold back soil to ensure your yard stays orderly. A beautiful retaining wall looks impressive on your property, adding a decorative element. We can make retaining walls that appeal to the eye while also performing an important job.
Raised garden beds: Put your garden in a position to thrive with a raised bed that sets it off from the rest of the lawn. Raised beds make it easier to access and maintain your garden.
Pathways and walkways: Paving stones, bricks and other materials can add visual appeal and a practical element to your space with a walkway. Your lawn will benefit, too, as people will no longer walk on the grass and wear it down.
Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits: Outdoor gathering places make the perfect spot to entertain. Fireplaces and firepits look beautiful on your property, and you can use your new addition regularly. They are also a fantastic investment for a business that provides entertainment or wants to encourage employees or guests to linger and relax.
Water features: Water features dazzle visitors to your home or business, and the sound of the water is soothing. Available in varying intricacies of design, water features include ponds, simple fountains, complex waterways and intricate cascades.
Brick or stone borders: Defining the edges of your property with a stone border looks beautiful. You can also differentiate your beds from the lawn or encircle trees with a small border.
Paved driveways: Your driveway can be a beautiful part of your landscape’s design, creating an outstanding first impression.
We provide all these hardscaping services and many other landscaping and maintenance services as well. If you have an idea, get in touch, and we can discuss how to turn it into a reality.
If you are considering adding professional hardscaping to your home or business but aren’t sure yet, consider the many benefits of this type of landscaping. The advantages include:
Increased value: Hardscaping can raise the value of your property. When you put in a water element, patio, pavers or other hardscaping, you make the property more attractive and desirable. Potential buyers will pay more for a property that already looks great.
Access to experts: While you can attempt to do hardscaping yourself, the result will look better if you trust a professional with the job. Professionals like Shearer Patio & Landscape Services have the experience to do the work well. We have perfected our process and make everything look fantastic. Amateurs won’t achieve the same results.
Professional tools: Another thing professionals bring to the job? The right tools. You may scramble to find the things you need to complete your project, but we have all the tools we need easily accessible, helping us get the job done quickly.
Additional living space: When you add professional hardscaping, you expand your living space. A second kitchen outside, a patio where you can relax or a place where your guests can gather decreases the traffic inside your home or business and allows people to spread out.
Low maintenance: Hardscaping requires very little upkeep and reduces the amount of watering you need to do. You can spend more time on your landscaping instead.
