What Is Hardscaping?
Your landscape isn’t just made up of living plants and trees; it also includes hardscape features like patios, retaining walls, walkways, and other built surfaces.
Hardscaping refers to these non-living, built features. Made from materials like rock, pavers, concrete, or decorative blocks, hardscape features include:
* Paver and stone patios
* Retaining walls and terraced slopes
* Walkways and garden paths
* Steps and stairs between different levels
* Fire pits and seating areas
* Decorative walls, edging, and planters
* Paver driveways and entryways
Good hardscaping in Bellingham’s rainy climate helps manage water, reduces mud and pooling, and creates safe, level, usable space where you can spend time in your yard.

Hardscaping Bellingham – FAQs
What does hardscaping cost?
Costs will vary based on the size and scope of the project, materials, and the amount of prep work needed. A smaller paver patio or walkway will cost less than a full outdoor living area with multiple levels, retaining walls, and steps. We can visit your property and give you a clear, written estimate so you know what to expect.
How long will my hardscape features last?
Properly installed and with basic maintenance, you can expect paver patios, retaining walls, and walkways to last for many years. We focus on proper base preparation, compaction, and drainage to keep things stable and even in Bellingham’s wetter climate.
Do you only serve Bellingham?
No, we are based in the Bellingham/Ferndale area and serve many parts of Whatcom County and the surrounding area, including nearby communities. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, just give us a call and we’ll let you know.
Can you repair or replace an existing patio or retaining wall?
Yes, if you have a failing retaining wall, a sinking paver patio, or a cracked concrete surface, we can evaluate whether repair or replacement is the best course of action. We’ll walk you through your options and recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Do I need permits for hardscaping?
Permits or engineering may be required for some projects, especially taller retaining walls or major grading work. We’ll let you know if your project will need permits and help guide you through the process so everything is done safely and correctly.
How much maintenance is required?
Hardscaping is generally low-maintenance compared to lawns and plants. You’ll want to:
* Sweep or rinse the surface from time to time
* Clear away debris and leaves
* Pull up any weeds that sprout in the joints
* Re-sand paver joints as needed over time
We’ll explain exactly how to keep your new hardscape looking great during your final walkthrough.
