Hardscape Quotes - Part 3 of a 3 Part series.

 Hey everyone!    Today, we are going to finish up our 3-part quote series.   The first two in the series were lawn maintenance quotes and flower bed quotes.  Today is hardscaping quotes - and this will complete the landscaping trifecta. 

Hardscape quotes are very similar to flower quotes, in that it all depends on what you want, and how much your budget is to spend.  

First, you want to look at your design.  What do you want to do with your hardscape?   Do you want a patio?  A pergola?  A retaining wall?   A firepit?   Would you like it all to go together?    For this, you need to be able to draw out exactly what you want, and how you want it placed.   

Complete measurements are extremely important, because being off on the measurements can mean you don't have enough material, or you may have too much.   Not enough is a real pain, especially if you have to have it delivered, because then you'll have to order more, and pay another delivery fee.   Always better to err on the side of too much!   

Now look at what you want to build.  Do you want a patio?   How large?   A retaining wall?   How long and how tall?   How about a firepit?   What circumference do you want the firepit?   How tall do you want it to be?  

OK!  Once you've figured out what you want, and how  you want it to look - then  you need to figure out which material you want to use.  

Do you want to use brick?

How about stones or pavers?

Every time I've ever done hardscapes on my home, I've always tried to stick with the same material.   I love using pavers, because you can use them for so many different outdoor projects.  You can use them as hardscape around  your flower bed (don't forget your weep holes!), you can use them for a firepit, or a retaining wall.  Your imagination in your only limitation to what you can do with pavers.  

Now - this is hard work.  This is really hard work.  You'll need to be prepared to wear work gloves, and break a few nails, ladies, if this is what you want to do.   It's not easy, but the end result is spectacular, and  you'll make all your friends jealous with the work  you've done!
