The materials underfoot establish the character and structure of an outdoor space.


Natural stone, porcelain tile, concrete, brick and wood decking each bring their own color, texture and character to a garden. Used individually or in combination, these materials help organize the space, establish circulation and distinguish areas for dining, lounging and entertaining.

Material selection is especially important in urban gardens, where durability, weight, drainage and installation requirements can be every bit as important as appearance. We consider all of these factors while developing surfaces, steps, walls and other hardscape elements that feel integral to the architecture and provide a strong foundation for the garden around them.
