:: HARDSCAPING ::

We are not just fine craftsmen, but experts in composition, color and texture. With a background in fine arts and the history of the Japanese garden, David F. Silverman will impart a unique artistic sensibility to your patio, walkway, gazebo or water feature.

The “hard” elements of your landscape must work together as an integral whole with your plantings, the natural lay of the land, and the unique character of your home. Patios, decks, and walkways should be a natural extension of your landscaping and home design, harmoniously blending with the surroundings. Stepping stones can lead you on a relaxing stroll through the various aspects of your garden. Carefully placed boulders can serve as a natural staircase that melts into the landscape.

When creating any such features, we don’t just sketch out a layout with a single vantage point in mind. We take a stroll around the yard, tweaking and adjusting to ensure that the additon of wood edifices, stone settings or water features will create beauty from any angle. We have experience with:

  • deck building, cleaning and staining
  • patios of all kinds
  • pergolas
  • tea gardens
  • gazebos
  • Japanese torii gates
  • unique benches
  • fences, from conventional or naturalistic materials
  • bridges, both wood or stone
  • naturalized boulder formations
  • stone walkways
  • Japanese lanterns
  • dry streambeds
  • retaining walls
  • waterfalls
  • ponds
  • tsukubai
  • low-voltage lighting (we’re an authorized Nightscaping dealer)
