FAQs:
Hardscape encompasses any permanently built structures or features in a landscape, made with non-organic materials. Visit the Backyard Blog to learn more about hardscapes here.
More hardscape = more usable space throughout your yard, and we truly believe that enjoying more time outside will bring you more happiness.
It is hard to put a price on happiness, but a good starting point is to invest 10-20% of your home's value on your landscape. As the features increase, so does the cost.
The essential elements for creating a successful hardscape is proper installation and high-quality products.
All of our patios and retaining walls are installed on a minimum of 6” compacted base material. We prefer open-graded base in most situations, but dense-graded base can be used when appropriate. Open-graded base allows for the expansion of water during Colorado’s extreme freeze-thaw cycles.
There are certain manufacturers who make the best pavers, porcelain, blocks, etc. and we are always happy to discuss what makes them superior. There is also a difference between natural materials vs. man-made materials.
The best method is the one that addresses your specific site needs. Most of that has to do with water, drainage, slope, and soil structure. Continuously updating our ICPI Paver Certification and staying current with industry standards ensures that KALEIDOSCAPE provides clients with only the best quality hardscapes.
Hardscape maintenance is minimal. A properly executed hardscape should last for years to come. Using the proper installation techniques and quality products will ensure a successful hardscape. Some hardscapes can be sealed to maintain product integrity and add color boost.
All hardscape installations are guaranteed to the original Owner against poor craftsmanship for a period of three (3) years.
I loved working with Lauren! She listened to my concerns and hopes for redesigning my backyard perfectly. I love the designs she came up with and can't wait to see them come to life. I 100% recommend her and her team to design your dream back yard.
