For example, with our hardscape design services, Malone’s Landscaping offers the design and construction of patios, decks, walkways, steps, driveways, and retaining walls. Hardscape designs will not only improve the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space, but can also add value to your home.

• Patio Design: A patio is an important feature in many hardscape designs. Patios can be made of concrete, pavers, brick, travertine, or other types of natural stone. A patio provides a functional space for placing seating, tables, fire pits, grills, and other outdoor features and can easily become the focal point of outdoor entertaining.
• Walkway Design: Walkways can be functional features providing a path from one point to another. However, adding walkways to hardscape designs can also add depth, mystery, or beauty to a space especially when they wind through plants, flowers, and other foliage.
• Driveway Design: A driveway should be durable and functional to stand up to the weight of cars and the strain from snow and ice removal. Yet, at Malone’s Landscaping, we believe driveways can also become a decorative element adding to an overall landscape and hardscape design project.
• Landscape Steps Design: Landscape steps and stairs are important for connecting different levels of patios, walkways, or decks. These can be made of wood, travertine, pavers, brick, decorative blocks, or concrete. Our hardscape designers can recommend the perfect landscape steps that incorporate into your complete hardscaping design.
• Retaining Wall Design: Retaining walls are built for slope management, drainage, control, and aesthetic purposes. Malone’s Landscaping can include retaining walls in a variety of styles and sizes in any hardscape design.
• Other Hardscape Design Features: Other hardscape design features that we offer with our hardscape design services include the design and construction of custom decks, gazebos, arbors, & outdoor fire pits or fireplaces.
