Hardscaping

We have many years of experience designing and building various hardscape projects, such as patios, stone walkways, custom driveways, etc. We are certified with the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. Hardscapes add aesthetically dynamic distinction between different areas of your landscape. Hardscapes also help with erosion in the landscape compensating for foot and vehicle traffic that would be otherwise adversely affecting those areas.

At Northwestern Landscape & Design, we believe the art of design in the Hardscape is the basic strength and foundation in every Garden or Landscape. Properly installed hardscapes add class and value to any home while dramatically reducing your maintenance costs. We are careful to select only the best natural stone and are very conscious of the quality of the manufactured hardscape products that we use.
