Serenescapes uses a variety of hardscape materials – natural rocks, bricks, pavers, stones and concrete variations are some of the foundation materials for a diversified landscape design. The use of their naturally durable elements provides versatility, contrast and stability for a garden.

Concrete

Concrete is one of the most common patio surfaces and also one of the most durable. Decorative concrete patios can be stained, stamped and etched. It is a durable surface that requires little attention or maintenance.

Pavers

Pavers are a brick-like concrete product that is available in many styles, colors, and patterns. It has a clean look that can add formality or functionalism to your garden. Pavers offer a very durable and low maintenance surface for patios, walkways and driveways. Pavers also give you the option of ‘Going Green’ with their newest product permeable pavers. This is a great option when covering a large space with pavers, causes (run-off) concerns.

Flagstone

Flagstone is the general term for the natural stone used in walkways and patios. Pennsylvania Bluestone and Montana Slate are commonly used types of flagstone. The flagstone available locally is in fact quarried all over the world. It gives your patio a natural or rustic feel. Flagstone comes in broken and dimensional shapes. Flagstone is generally set in sand or stone dust, and is usually easier to move and re-use if needed. Ground cover can be nestled between the edges of the stone to create an appealing natural look.

Natural stone or Fieldstone

Natural stone or Fieldstone comes in many sizes and colors. The hues tend to be greyish, but sometimes they can carry a more purplish tint. This is one of Serenescapes favorites as far as natural beauty is concerned. This stone can be used in walls or walkways, and is most usually the foundation for a great water feature.
