Hardscapes
Hardscaping, like all landscaping, requires proper design and planning to withstand the Bismarck-Mandan area’s harsh climate changes.
HARDSCAPES
Having a properly designed landscape is essential, especially when it comes to installing paver patios, retaining walls, or any other outdoor living feature in the Bismarck and Mandan area. The subsoils in this region can be challenging, and it’s important to have a landscape designer or contractor who not only has the experience, but also education and certifications. This is where certifications from organizations like CMHA come in handy. These certifications ensure that your landscaper has the knowledge and expertise to design and install hardscaping that will last.
When it comes to hardscape elements such as paver patios, retaining walls, fire pits, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, or seating it’s important to choose the right materials and design to ensure longevity. For example, using pavers that are designed to ASTM standards to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and heavy foot traffic can make a big difference in how long your patio or walkway lasts. Retaining walls also need to be designed and built with the right materials and techniques to withstand the freeze-thaw cycle, along with the weight of the soil, and hydrostatic pressure they are holding back.
Another important aspect of hardscaping is maintenance. Regular maintenance, such as power washing and sealing, can help keep your paver patios and retaining walls looking great and functioning well. Sealers can also protect the pavers and walls from the elements, such as sun, rain, and snow. There are different types of sealers available, from natural to glossy finishes, so you can choose the one that best suits your preferences and needs.
It’s also important to keep in mind that hardscaping is not only about functionality, but also aesthetics. A properly designed and installed paver patio, retaining wall, or outdoor living space can add beauty and value to your property. A good landscape designer or contractor will be able to help you choose the right materials, design, and layout to complement your home and yard. They can also help you create outdoor living spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
