Hardscapes & Hardscape Design & Installation

If you are looking for a different approach to landscaping than hardscapes are the answer. The hardscapes approach means using materials such as rocks, concrete, walls, and pavers to create a beautiful and functional outdoor area. Yes, one still includes elements such as strategically placed shade trees, flower gardens or even a fountain or other water, but some of the main focal points are the “hard” features.

Typically, hardscaping is used to provide good drainage and to minimize wherever runoff or even direct runoff so that it benefits other areas of the landscape. Hardscapes are often recommended for areas where one is having trouble growing grass or plants due to poor soil composition or in an area where the ground stays wet longer than it should. When you work with Omega Masonry, we will help you design a hardscape that doesn’t just work with your property, but actually enhances your outdoor living space using texture, proportions, and symmetry.

If you are unfamiliar with hardscaping, you may be concerned about how useful it really is, and how it can help, should you decide to sell your home. Don’t stress! Hardscapes bring many advantages, making them the perfect choice for many homeowners in Texas.
