Get a Grip Behnke Landscape tip for April 16, 2009
Hardscape elements (it may seem simple but is best left up to the pros).
Watch any of the many Landscape shows on TV and you’ll see a patio, walk, or other hardscape element used in almost every landscape redo. Adding a new walk, patio, sitting wall, trellis, arbor, or fence is a great way to give any yard area a immediate facelift, expand your living space, and provide almost instant visual impact while you are waiting for your newly planted landscape trees, shrubs and perennials to develop.
What the TV shows don’t often show is the planning, time, effort, and materials it takes for most hardscape projects. I probably should mention the time twice!
Careful planning, and placement is critical. Inspect and measure existing and final grade to assure proper drainage. Proper calculation of depth and amount of base materials. Purchasing the best quality stone, pavers, and materials, Follow ICPI specifications for paver projects. Paying attention to these important details will assure a quality, long lasting, final project. Of course here at Behnke Landscape and Design we will take care of it all for you.
From initial concept to install trust Behnke Landscape Service with your next hardscape and landscape project.
So stop just thinking about that landscape and do something about it!
