Hardscapes are
design elements that are integrated into the landscape around your
home or business that are non-plant life. Things like lighting,
fencing, retaining walls, firepits, barbeques, patios, pavers,
decks, rocks and outdoor fireplaces are examples of hardscapes. And
if you are a Fayetteville NC homeowner who needs installation or
repairs for this vital element of your overall landscape, call us
today.
There is no doubt that vegetation is important to landscaping, but
hardscapes are often called the anchor of a yard’s design. After
all, these hardscapes provide an aesthetic contrast to all that
vegetation (softscape), not to mention often protects it. Wouldn’t
you agree that a beautiful garden would stand out even more when
juxtaposed with rocks, walls and walkways?
Hardscapes add structure and balance to every garden. They can be
used as both an ornamental and a functional addition. Retaining
walls can create additional gardening space while also providing
strength – they prevent soil erosion, for example. Retaining walls
are especially helpful in heavily banked or sloped yards because
they provide more level areas for planting and other uses.
There is no more spectacular contrast than fire and water. So if you
have a pool or water garden, consider installing an outdoor
fireplace. It can get a little cool at night in our area, and what’s
better than sitting in front of a crackling fire? It adds a
night-time focal point and gathering location in your yard. A
firepit also is a more economical option that provides much of the
same benefits. These take up less room and can be installed on your
patio, open air sun room or nearly anywhere in your backyard. A
firepit can be set level to the ground with an extension to an
existing patio or deck, or built ground level on your patio and set
with a natural gas option or traditional wood burning.
Interlocking concrete pavers are a much better hardscape choice than
plain poured concrete for your patios, walkways or fountains. There
are numerous options for size, shape, color, texture and pattern,
and these pavers withstand traffic, wear and weather much better
than standard concrete. We can add borders of stone or tile that
simply radiate class and elegance. These pavers never need
resurfacing like asphalt and won’t warp, crack or turn grey like
wood.
Hardscapes simply make your yard more livable. By installing various
types of hardscapes, you can take advantage of nearly every square
foot of your outdoor space, including by creating boundaries,
leveling the topography and reducing lawn maintenance. The design
options are truly unlimited.
A smart combination of hardscapes and landscapes can increase the
sustainability and value of your property. Both are long-term
investments. Our design experts can incorporate hardscape aspects to
make the most of your yard and offer additional places to relax and
enjoy your personal outdoor space.
Fayetteville NC Waterscapes from Better Choice Builders
Adding a pond, waterfall, and stream to your landscape is a magical combination of rocks, plant textures and liquid motion which you will enjoy all year round.
Our pond division is the leading builder of ponds, waterfalls, and streams in Fayetteville. ' ponds are a little different than other ponds, and this is a good thing because we are that good!
All ponds are not created equally. There is a huge difference from the first 100 ponds that we installed to the ones we are installing today (we have installed over 1500)! You need to see them for yourself, since we have so many happy customers it will not be difficult to find a pond in your area for you to see.
The system we install is a revolutionary system that works with nature, not against it. There is no use of toxic chemicals. Our water features are low maintenance and chemical free and are built to meet your design and backyard landscaping needs.
We pride ourselves on building custom ponds that consistently exceed our customer's expectations. We only use the highest quality products to build our natural ecosystem ponds, waterfalls, and streams.
Our trained artisans will craft a beautiful, low maintenance pond for Koi fish, a waterfall, and a stream that you will really enjoy. When one of our pond installations is complete, the rock, boulder, and plant design look completely natural. The waterfall circulates the water and adds a wonderful soothing relaxing sound. All for much less than you think!
Because we custom design all of our water features, it will be designed with your needs in mind. You may prefer to have the sound of the running water but don't really want a pond or don’t have the space for a pond. We can build a pondless waterfall or stream which can add just the right subtle touch to a garden. We also have “disappearing” fountains which are an inexpensive way of adding a water element to your landscape. Our designers will help you select the best water feature for your garden.
