Retaining
Walls
Retaining walls are an important and functional part of landscape design. They provide support and structure to the landscape while protecting the life and beauty of driveways and flowerbeds, as well as helping to prevent erosion and water damage around your home. Retaining walls also create excellent spaces for flowerbed designs where you can highlight your favorite shrubs, perennials, or annuals. By creating a terracing effect, the placement of retaining walls can also provide privacy with the use of tall shrubs or trees. Popular types of retaining walls include gravity, piling, cantilever, and anchored walls. If you have a small slope, gravity walls are best for providing support for the soil. For areas requiring greater support, piling walls are a better choice, as they have poles beneath the ground that add stability. We are able to advise you on which type is best for your situation.
Pavestone
Patios
Creating a patio area in your yard is an excellent way to prepare space for friends and family to gather and make memories. From various types of river rock to fieldstone and flagstone, there are several options when designing your custom patio. Custom patios can also include firepits and outdoor kitchen areas to enhance that quality family time. Paver pathways and stairs make for an inviting welcome for all who visit your home. Ed Hardscape & Irrigation has a team of highly skilled and experienced contractors ready to install paver patios, retaining walls or custom edging around your shrubs and flower beds. Whether you are starting from scratch with a new home build and want to plan your yard design with us or you have an area of your existing yard that you want to beautify, we are here to help.
Base
Prep
A strong and durable hardscape begins with proper base preparation. The base acts as the foundation that supports everything above it — whether it’s a retaining wall, patio, walkway, or driveway. Without the right base, even the most beautiful surface will eventually shift, crack, or settle unevenly. At Ed Hardscape & Irrigation, we take the time to build a foundation that lasts. Our process includes removing any unstable soil, grading the area for proper slope, and compacting layers of high-quality crushed stone or aggregate. This ensures maximum stability and load-bearing strength. We use professional-grade equipment to achieve precise compaction and leveling, resulting in a solid foundation that can handle both time and the elements. A properly prepared base is key to the long-term performance and beauty of your hardscape investment.
Drainage
Proper drainage is one of the most crucial — and often overlooked — aspects of any outdoor construction project. Without a well-planned drainage system, water can accumulate around your hardscapes, leading to erosion, shifting, and costly damage over time. At Ed Hardscape & Irrigation, we design and install efficient drainage solutions tailored to your property’s unique layout and soil conditions. Our systems include French drains, catch basins, channel drains, and carefully designed grading to direct water flow away from structures and foundations. We make sure water runoff moves safely and effectively, protecting your landscaping and hardscape surfaces from long-term damage. With the right drainage in place, you can preserve both the structural integrity and visual appeal of your outdoor spaces for years to come.
