If you live in Fairfax VA, you may have heard about hardscaping design. What does hardscaping design entail?
Hardscaping is your driveway, walkways, patio, sidewalks, fire pits, fireplaces, and outdoor structures, as a part of your home and landscaping. So, before the experts at Premier Paving & Planting create a design for the hardscaping of your Fairfax VA home, we evaluate your current hardscaping, landscaping, and how both affect your home. Of utmost importance is safety; if there’s damage or other problems – we will let you know. Some damage is easily seen, like a cracked driveway. Other damage, such as failing retaining walls, may be less apparent.
In creating a hardscaping design, we assess the style of your home – what design changes would look best with your style of home? Would these changes fit in with the look of your neighborhood, or look out of place? For instance, certain paver patterns and colors look more appropriate for some homes, than others. Or some hardscapes can look out of place by size – such as a small patio that looks even smaller when seen against a large home and backyard. If no one in your Colonial-style neighborhood has a huge Grecian fountain in their front yard, that would probably not be part of your hardscape design.
We also think about how improvements or additions to your current hardscaping design can add to the enjoyment and quality of life of you and your family. For example, if you all love and use your patio, a new fire pit will provide extra enjoyment and comfort when entertaining family and friends.
