Plant Installations
the plants in ones property truly make or break the presentation and curb appeal. we take the time to help you make the best decision on which plants to use and where are the best places are to plant them. whether you want to beef up your current design, or start with a completely fresh slate and have us design it, we will work with you to make the process simple and easy. with the years of experience we share we know which plants will thrive in each area, helping the aesthetics of your yard pop! with busy schedules, most our customers don't have the hours to spend in their yard, so we ensure that we provide the most beautiful plants with low maintenance needs.
Retaining Walls
do you have a steep slope that needs leveling, or want to enclose a garden? then a retaining wall is what you need. we can build walls out of many different materials, so it depends on what you like. we use heavy blocks, angled stones, offset cinder blocks, stack stone, wood or reinforced concrete frames, all used to create the geological resistance to fight the pressures from the earth. the opportunities are endless with building a wall, whether you want the clean look of modular block, or the natural look of stackable boulders. we will create a wall that will be a beautiful part of your landscape for years.
Patios
one of our favorite types of projects is a great looking patio! patios create a place to relax outdoors and enjoy your beautiful property. whatever the look that you want to create, we can make it happen with our flagstone patios, paver patios, brick patios, stone patios, or even concrete patio options. we take the time to be sure that the whole patio is level so you never have to worry about uneven areas. we even offer in-ground drainage systems designed to carry off water before you even ever see it! we ensure that any person will long to have your patio in their yard!
Walkways And Paths
you don't have to go far to have a nice nature stroll, because we can build a pathway right in your backyard. you can choose a formal path of flagstones to direct someone through your yard, or a natural dirt pathway through your gardens, mulch paths or anything in between. we want to show off the beauty or your property by giving folks foot access to view it!
Lighting
even at night we all want to show off our landscapes, so we know how to highlight each and every corner. we can put in any landscape lighting you would like, even automatic ones for the evening. we even have a licensed electrician on call, 24/7, for all those electrical jobs that are out of our scope of work.
Stone Masonry
one of the great parts about nashville and the surrounding area, is all the beautiful natural stones! we live in an area full of different types of stone that we can incorporate into your landscape to make it look more natural. we can overlay your existing walls with these stones and match your yard to the area. we specialize in using your natural resources to better the look of your property.
Excavation Services
ever look at your property and wish that the dirt was completely rearranged? we can come in with a mini dozer/ excavator and do it for you. we can provide drainage for water displacement by adding pipe, pvc pop-ups, french drains, grading, dry creek beds, and more. maybe you want to have a gravel driveway and you need it leveled and properly sloped for water to pass without eroding it, we can do it. we can also prepare the perfect area for a future grassy yard, by laying down good soil then seed or sod.
Arbors, Trellises, Fences, Decks And Pergolas
have you ever wanted to add a structure to your yard that you can sit near or under? we can build a beautiful design for your yard and even grow flowers off of them. from a nice arbor in your garden, so you can sit in shade, to a neat trellis to create a flowery wall. we can also put in a pergola to shade a whole new patio. whether they are plain or covered in flowers each create a charming addition to your yard. we also have carpenter on staff that can take care of all your decking/ fencing needs.
Water Features
do you ever wish that you were able to bring the mountain sounds to your back yard? we can start by bringing the trickling water from a mountain creek right to you by adding in a nice water feature such as a pond, fountain, creek or even water fall. picture it now peaceful water flowing over natural rock and boulders. we will be sure that your pond or other water feature is in good condition to control algae, maintain clear water and beneficial bacteria. we also can bring in fish supplies and actual fish to stock your pond for you. we offer full cleaning and maintenance to existing water features as well.
Firepits
every house philip has ever lived in has been endowed with a free fire pit. there's nothing better on a cool fall evening, than having your buddies over to sit arouned the fire and enjoy some adult beverages! we can make that a possibility for you every day of the year. we will do everything for you, first digging a pit, then bringing in large boulders for the outside. in some of the pits we install metal drains, to ensure proper water exit. we'll even stock you up with firewood any time you want. just call! for those looking for a more upscale firepit, we'll even install them in patios. or out of blocks then faced with stone. and even more upscale, we offer gas firepits as well, that require no wood whatsoever! where the flame just comes out of the rocks at the bottom! the sky is the limit on what we can do with your firepit!
At Hardscapes by the Yard, we see your yard as our tapestry, because landscape is an art form. A landscaper with a creative mind is a formidable resource when upgrading the value of your home or business.
