Hardscaping FAQ

Gold Country Landscaping

What types of hardscaping services do you offer?

We provide patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, decorative stone, paver installation, and site grading - all designed to enhance function and beauty.


How do you ensure hardscape designs work with Nevada County terrain & fire safety?

We incorporate proper drainage, erosion control, slope management, and use fire-resistant materials and spacing that reduce fuel load around homes.


What materials do you use and how long do they last?

We use durable materials like natural stone, concrete pavers, reinforced block, and artisan rock. With proper installation, they withstand freeze/thaw cycles, sun, and weather and require low maintenance.


Can you integrate hardscaping with landscaping and native plants?

Yes - we design hardscapes to blend with surrounding landscape and use native plantings, mulches, and permeable paving to allow for water flow and natural aesthetics.


Do I need permits or local approvals for hardscaping in Nevada County?

In many cases yes - especially for retaining walls, large structures, or work in steep zones. We help you navigate local codes, permits, and inspections.


Do you provide cost estimates and warranties?

Yes, we offer free estimates and detailed proposals. We also stand behind our work with workmanship guarantees and warranty coverage on materials and installation.


How soon can you do the work, and how long does a project take?

Scheduling depends on season, materials, and scope. Smaller jobs may take days; larger ones may take weeks. We'll provide a timeline once your project is scoped.
