Seattle’s Reliable Hardscape Specialists

Rich Landscaping provides premium hardscape services throughout Seattle. We use materials that actually stand up to the weather here, and we know how to build stuff that won’t settle or crack in a couple of years. That matters more than saving a few bucks upfront. 

Our Professional Hardscape Services in Seattle

Custom Patios & Outdoor Living Spaces

A good patio is basically extra square footage for your house. We build them with pavers or stone, depending on what works for your budget and style. It could be a small spot for morning coffee or something bigger for entertaining - we design it around how you'll actually use it.The important part is getting the base right and making sure water drains away from your house. That's where most patios fail. Do it right from the start, and you've got something that'll last 20+ years easily. These paver patios add real value to your place, not just curb appeal.

Walkways, Pathways & Driveways

Walkways and pathways change how your property flows. We connect your front door to the driveway, your back door to the patio, whatever makes sense. Driveway pavers look way better than plain concrete, and they're easier to repair if something ever does go wrong.Everything is planned around drainage because Seattle's weather remains wet. We grade it so water doesn't pool up, and we use materials that won't get super slippery. Whether it's residential or commercial hardscape work, the goal is the same - something that works and lasts.

Retaining Wall Installation & Decorative Stonework

Retaining walls do the heavy lifting on slopes. They stop erosion, create flat, usable space, and, if done right, they actually look pretty good too. We engineer them properly so they won't fail in 5 years when water pressure builds up behind them.Decorative stonework is more about adding character - stone veneers, garden walls, that kind of thing. It brings in texture without being too much. These custom hardscape solutions improve how your property functions and how it looks. Good retaining wall installation isn't cheap, but it solves real problems.

Fire Pits, Seating Walls & Outdoor Kitchens

Fire features make backyards way more usable, especially on cooler nights. We offer fire pit installation with proper ventilation and seating. These seating walls give you somewhere to sit that's more permanent than dragging chairs around.Outdoor kitchen construction may be a big investment, but if you entertain a lot, it's worth it. No more running back and forth to your indoor kitchen. We use weather-resistant surfaces and materials that hold up with minimal maintenance. Fire pit installation and outdoor kitchen construction turn regular yards into spaces people actually want to be in.

Hardscape Repair and Renovation

Stuff settles, pavers shift, walls lean - it happens. We fix problems instead of just patching them over. Sometimes that means resetting pavers, sometimes it means rebuilding part of a wall. Depends on what's going on.We also upgrade older hardscape with better materials or layouts that work better. A lot of times, it's cheaper to renovate than start over. These low-maintenance outdoor solutions keep your investment working instead of letting it fall apart.

Advantages of Hardscaping for Seattle Homes & Businesses

Hardscaping services in Seattle can help create real usable areas instead of muddy grass or bare dirt. Places to walk, sit, park, cook outside - stuff you'll use year-round.
Quality hardscape design and installation make your place look better and more functional. That shows up in resale value. Buyers notice that enhanced curb appeal and increased property value go hand in hand.
Hardscape stays clean and doesn't need the constant attention that grass or planting beds do. It's genuinely low-maintenance outdoor solutions- you'll spend more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time working on it.
When surfaces drain right and stay solid, people aren't slipping all over the place. Your kids can play, pets can run around, and grandparents can walk without worry - hardscape just makes everything safer.
The initial cost is higher, but long-lasting hardscape features need far fewer repairs over time. It pencils out better than cheap work that fails.

FAQ's

What is hardscaping, and what features are included?

Hardscaping covers non-living landscape elements such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. These hardscape features add structure and functionality to outdoor living spaces for residential and commercial properties. It’s the permanent construction that defines how your outdoor area works. 

Is hardscaping suitable for Seattle's wet climate?

Absolutely works great here. When designed with proper drainage systems, hardscaping thrives in Seattle’s weather. We use weather-resistant surfaces and materials chosen specifically for wet conditions. Good base preparation and grading keep everything stable through constant rain. Way more reliable than grass in our climate. 

How long does a typical hardscape installation take?

Really depends on what we’re building. Small jobs take a few days. Bigger ones can run up to two weeks. A simple walkway? We’re usually done in 2-3 days. Full patio with retaining walls and everything? That takes more time. 

What is the cost of hardscape services in Seattle?

What you’ll pay depends on what materials you pick, how complicated the design is, and how big the project is. Yes, professional hardscaping isn’t cheap at first, but you’re putting in something that’s going to last 20, 30 years or more. We tell you what the project costs before we start anything. You can plan around that number. We don’t tack on extra fees once we’re halfway through. 

 

Do you offer free estimates for hardscape projects?

Absolutely. We do free consultations and estimates for every project. We’ll come to your property, talk about what you hope to achieve, review the space, and provide a detailed estimate. No obligation, no pressure. It’s a good chance to see if we’re a good match. Want an estimate? Just call us at (425) 222-9544. 

How long do hardscape materials typically last?

If it’s done right with decent materials, you’re looking at 20-30 years easy, maybe more. Pavers and stone don’t just quit on you. A lot of people end up paying off their house before their patio needs to be replaced. That’s why it matters who does the work and what they’re using. 

When can I start using my outdoor space after installation?

Usually, right away, as soon as we finish the walkthrough and clean up. Most hardscape work in Seattle is ready for immediate use. Once in a while, certain materials need a short curing period, and we’ll let you know beforehand if it’s needed. In most cases, you can start using your space as soon as we’re finished.
