Hardscapes - Paths, Patios, and Edging

How do you start this project?  
We will help you with this process.  We provide free estimates and design services for your new outdoor living space.  We install these patios, walkways and edging not just in Noblesville but in Westfield, Carmel and the surrounding Hamilton County areas.  Contact us to chat about your future project.  Some things to think about are listed below, plus some answers to questions you may have.

Three Things to Do

• Decide on a budget for your project
• Get ideas and solutions to your area that you want to have landscaped
• Book the date to have your project installed

Do you need a path from one place to another?

Cement Paver Walkway

Paver walkways are good for heavily traveled areas and places that need a solid, permanent path.

Flagstone Walkway

Flagstone walkways are great additions to landscapes where you need a walking path that can blend in with the landscape bed or grass.  

Are you interested in a new patio?

Type of Patio We Install

We specialize in flat surface patios made with concrete pavers or natural stone referred to as flagstone.  We only install single level patios that have small elevation changes and only require several steps at the most.

Durability

How long will it last?  Pavers have been used since Roman times and began to come to North American in the 1970's.  With proper installation techniques your patio will last at least 30 years but don't be surprised if it's around longer.

Care

Sometimes pavers need new joint sand installed.  Other times you may want to power wash them to get them clean.  On occasion you can apply a waterproofing to them which can help them retain their color.

How about some landscape bed edging?

We install steel and stone edging.  Edging is usually installed to keep grass from entering the landscape beds and also to help keep bed materials, mulch and rock, from entering the lawn area.  Below are some details about each.  

Steel Edging

Pros
Good at keeping rock and mulch in a landscape bed
Hardly visible when installed
Least expensive form of edging to install
Cons
Freeze and thaws in winter can cause this to push out of the ground
Does not work very well if the landscape bed is on a hill or the ground is uneven
Mowers can hit it and knock it out of place

Cement Edgers

Pros
Easy to mow  and edge around around
Stands up to winter freeze and thaw cycle so it doesn't move in the soil very much 
Natural Looking
Cons
Can get dirty but they can be power washed to clean them up
Usually installed at ground level so there isn't a large amount above ground which can be less useful at holding material in landscape bed

Natural Stone Edging

Pros
Holds up to pedestrian traffic as well as mowers
Heavy, can withstand most of what Mother Nature can send its way
Blends well with landscapes because it is a natural product
Cons
One of the more expensive options for installation
Can get dirty but can be cleaned with a power washer
