Land Escapes utilizes many hardscape materials. These materials consist of any "hard" material such as rock, boulders, retaining wall blocks, flagstone and more. Adding some hardscape items to your landscape design provides another element and dimension to softscape options (plants, mulch, etc.). We are NOT fans of using river rock as a mulch option in landscape beds, but understand sometimes it's the best option depending on the site. We do love to incorporate boulders, flagstone and cobblestone so just ask us for some ideas about what would look good at your property!
