FAQ
Common Questions About Hardscaping
What is hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to any hard, non-living element of a landscape — patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, concrete work, and stone features. It contrasts with softscaping (plants, lawn, trees). A well-balanced landscape combines both.
How much does a fire pit area cost?
A built-in fire pit area in Mid-Michigan typically runs $2,000–$8,000+ depending on size, materials, and surrounding patio work. We integrate fire pit areas into larger patio projects for the best value and cohesive design.
Can you add an outdoor kitchen or bar area?
Yes. We build the structural base, masonry surround, and countertop substrate for outdoor kitchens. We coordinate with appliance suppliers and gas/electrical contractors to ensure the structure is ready for your preferred appliances.
Do you work on commercial hardscape projects?
Yes. We work on commercial and multi-family properties across Mid-Michigan in addition to residential work. Contact us to discuss your project scope.
