Hardscape Design

Hardscapes are all the rage these days and understandably so. Many homeowners are gravitating to the need for being outside, whether it’s for peaceful solitude or robust entertainment with family, friends, and neighbors. BLSH&E can design whatever it is you have in mind – from stone benches, fire pits, sitting walls & patios, to terraced poolside vistas, outdoor kitchens, and stone-pillared gazebos. The possibilities are endless and don’t necessarily have to cost a fortune. BLSH&E works extensively with Allan Block and their Courtyard Collection to construct beautiful patios and walls which can incorporate custom gates, counter tops, natural stone or pavers, and illumination by adding lighting to the landscape.

We have a licensed Landscape Architect who can work with you to plan/design your dream outdoor oasis, elegantly integrated with the hardscaping products you see on the linked page. Keep in mind, impervious coverage will be added to your lot, so you may enter into the realm of having to address stormwater management issues.

Typically, zoning/building approval for your project will require a limited site plan, construction plans and details, and in some cases professionally engineered structures (i.e. pergola, retaining wall, gazebo, etc.). Blue Line is able to do all of that, and I can also connect you with certified Allan Block contractors.

Call me today to get started and discuss your ideas; free phone consultation as always. As with all of my engineering consultation/designs, you will be presented with a detailed written proposal of the Scope of Work, including fee, prior to commencing.
