From Simple Patio To Full Outdoor Retreat

Hardscape Planning For The Way You Actually Use Your Yard

Do you have a goal for your outdoor living space? Whether you are designing a simple patio or a full outdoor kitchen and entertaining space, you need our team’s professional services to ensure your vision is realized.

Vision Green helps homeowners think through layout, materials, flow, drainage, seating, outdoor features, and how the finished space will connect with the rest of the landscape.

Plan Before You Build

What Should You Consider Before Starting A Hardscape Project?

A patio or retaining wall does not exist separately from the rest of the property. Thinking through water, grade, access and future improvements before construction begins can help create a more cohesive finished outdoor space.

Drainage

Consider how water currently moves through the property and where it will travel after a patio, walkway or wall changes the surface.

Grade

Sloped or uneven yards may require excavation, leveling or grading work before the hardscape is installed.

Access

Equipment, excavated material, base materials, stone and pavers all need a practical route into and out of the work area.

Materials

Consider appearance, how the surface will be used and the level of ongoing maintenance you want from the finished space.

How You’ll Use The Space

Dining, entertaining, a fire feature, walking paths and pool access can all affect the size and layout of the project.

Future Projects

Planning ahead can make it easier to incorporate future lighting, outdoor kitchens, irrigation or landscaping.

Retaining wall permit and hardscape planning in Charlotte NC

Permits, Planning, And Proper Installation

Retaining Walls And Hardscapes Should Be Planned Carefully

Some retaining walls and larger hardscape projects may require additional planning, especially when they affect grading, drainage, height, slope, or nearby structures. Mecklenburg County notes that retaining walls supporting five feet or more of fill require sealed drawings and a building permit, while Charlotte may also review fence and wall locations near streets or sidewalks.

That is one reason working with an experienced hardscape team matters. Vision Green can help you think through the design, materials, water flow, and long-term stability of the finished project.
