How Hardscape Projects Are Built From the Ground Up

Installation in Rockwall starts with excavation to the required depth, followed by base material that is compacted in lifts using a plate compactor or roller. Pavers, stone, or concrete are set with consistent spacing and leveled to prevent water pooling or uneven surfaces.

After the project is finished, you will see clean edges, level surfaces, and drainage that directs water away from structures. Joints are filled with sand or grout depending on material type, and any surrounding turf or landscaping is restored or transitioned neatly into the new hardscape.

Hardscape installation does not include gas line work, outdoor kitchens, or custom masonry, but recommendations are provided if those additions would complement the layout. Material options are discussed during the consultation based on your preferences, budget, and how the space will be used.

Homeowners in Rockwall typically ask about material choices, project timelines, and how hardscapes affect drainage or existing landscaping before committing to a design.

What Homeowners Want to Know Before Building

What materials are recommended for patios and walkways?
You will receive recommendations based on durability, maintenance requirements, and how the material performs in heat and freeze-thaw cycles. Options include pavers, flagstone, and poured concrete depending on your needs.
How long does a hardscape installation take?
Most residential hardscape projects are completed in three to seven days depending on size, complexity, and material type. You receive a timeline estimate during the consultation, and weather may occasionally affect the schedule.
How is drainage handled during hardscape installation?
Grading and base preparation are designed to direct water away from foundations and prevent pooling on the hardscape surface. Cleveland Landscape and Tree uses proper slope and edge restraints to maintain drainage over time.
What happens to existing landscaping during installation?
Existing plants or turf in the project area are removed or relocated if requested, and surrounding areas are protected during excavation and base work. Debris is cleared from the property when the project is complete.
What kind of maintenance do hardscapes require?
You will need to sweep or rinse surfaces periodically and refill joint sand if it settles over time. Sealing may be recommended depending on material type, and any shifting or settling should be addressed promptly to prevent worsening.
