Hardscaping

SSLD Hardscaping

Hardscapes are a great way to increase your outdoor space and see a return on your investment when you sell your home. Let’s start creating your next outdoor space.

What is hardscaping? Hardscaping is man-made features, like stone walls or borders, integrated into landscape design and architecture.

Benefits of Hardscaping with softscaping:

We can make it great for any season
Increase property value: Hardscaping extends living space outdoors, adding value to a home

During the summer months, nothing beats roasting marshmallows and sharing stories around a roaring fire. Homeowners who install an outdoor fire pit will not only create delightful memories, but will also realize a 67 percent return on investment. Fire features that have a gas burner and patio area cost an average of $6,000 to construct, and you’ll recoup about $4,000 when you sell your home, according to the National Association of Realtors®’ (NAR) and National Association of Landscape Professionals’

While concrete is a staple of modern construction, many people enjoy a more traditional, natural look. Stacked stone structures, however, require specialized knowledge and skills to implement. We are experts in creating such structures, so whether you’re looking at a stacked stone retaining wall, a fireplace or oven of stacked stone, or any other stone structure, we can make it happen.

Review by Joe B. in Cumming, GA

I recently hired Scenic South to correct some major drainage problems on my property. Also included in the work were over 1000 feet of flagstone walkway, 140 square feet of retaining wall, a 125 foot rubble garden border, and various changes to the lawn sprinkler system. All the work was done in an efficient and professional manner. During the work, if a change was needed to either improve on the initial plans or if in addition to the original contract, Scenic ‘South cooperated with either a reasonable cost estimate or incorporated it into the original estimate. There is a real effort on the part of everyone that works for Scenic South from the owner, to the field supervisor, and the workers to put the customer first.
The end result is a backyard that looks like a park, Past ran storms had rivers of water running through the backyard and both sides of the house being saturated into mud fields. All that water is now moving out through the drain lines.

Great results at a reasonable price. 5 Star recommendation!
