Custom Hardscape Designs for Back Yards in Western Washington and Oregon

So, what exactly do hardscape designs for back yards involve? At Sta-Built Construction, we customize our backyard hardscape designs to meet your needs. Our top services include the following:

Paver Patio Design

Beautifully designed pavers can quickly transform a drab yard into a visually appealing sanctuary. We provide patio pavers in a variety of materials, styles, and finishes to highlight any style or functionality preferences. You can rely on our team to go above and beyond with your paver installation. 

We begin with compact sub-soil and geotextile fabric to ensure longevity and assist with proper drainage. Next, we add crushed aggregate and concrete support to provide a solid substrate beneath the pavers. Finally, we intricately weave the pavers on top, following your design preferences. 

Interlocking Paver Design

If you’re entranced by cobblestone pathways or complex, intricate stone designs, you’ve come to the right place. Our interlocking paver designs bring motion and liveliness to your outdoor space, elevating a plain walkway to something unique. 

We install interlocking pavers using a similar method described above, ensuring maximum longevity and durability. You can choose from seemingly endless geometric designs, colors, and styles. 

Retaining Wall Design

Retaining walls offer far more benefits than you may realize. To start, wall features can prevent erosion, particularly in areas with steep slopes subject to heavy rains or earthquakes. 

Aside from the eco benefits, retaining walls allow you to make use of the harder-to-reach spaces of your yard. We can develop compact leveling pads, GeoGrid layers, and planting sections for maximum outdoor space.

We install retaining walls with drainage pipes to ensure the system operates correctly. You can pick out your preferred paver style and layout to highlight your property’s features.

Putting Green Design

Turf can transform just about any outdoor space, but why not take it a step further by adding entertainment to the mix? We can integrate a personal putting green into your hardscape design so you can practice your puts while relaxing in the back yard. We customize putting greens to fit perfectly into your space, offering numerous synthetic grass and coloring options.

Our team installs graded and compacted aggregate bases with geotextile fabric to prevent weeds while ensuring longevity. You’ll enjoy a picture-perfect result that you and your guests can enjoy on any afternoon.

Landscape Lighting Design

You can’t enjoy your space all day and night without proper lighting. We integrate strategically placed energy-efficient lighting fixtures throughout your property for functional and visually appealing purposes. Whether you want to highlight your water feature or add extra lighting on the staircase, we have the safety and security lighting features to make it happen. 

We typically install LED lights, which require minimal energy usage. As a plus, you won’t need to change the bulbs often or worry about them getting wet.
