Fine-Tune Your Design
Next, we start thinking about making your outdoor space a reality. We cover all the details—from designing your overall layout to recommending specific stone shapes and colors.
Build the Dream
Once we’ve fully explored your hardscaping project vision together, it’s time to bring it to life! From patios and fire pits to outdoor kitchens, we make your visions a reality.
- What is hardscaping?
-
Hardscaping is the foundation of your outdoor space — all the built-in elements that give structure and function to your yard. This can include patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, and even outdoor kitchens. These features don’t grow or change with the seasons, but they do create the framework for everything else.
To complement your hardscaping in Kansas City, we can also include softscaping elements, like flowers and trees, to bring your space together.
- How long does a hardscaping project take?
-
Project timelines depend entirely on the size and complexity of your design. For example, a single walkway or retaining wall may take just a week. On the other hand, sizable projects like full patios, outdoor kitchens, or multi-feature builds can take up to a few months to complete.
During your consultation, George provides an estimated timeline, but you can always reach out to our team with questions or to get further clarification. Once you commit to your project, we update you at every stage, so you always know what to expect.
- Can I have multiple projects done at once?
-
Yes. Many of our clients choose to combine projects or adjust multiple features of their outdoor space at once. You might add softscaping to complement your new patio, build a retaining wall alongside a walkway, or create an outdoor kitchen surrounded by fresh plantings.
Doing projects together not only saves time and streamlines the process, it also helps us design your whole outdoor space to work in harmony. Our team will help you map out a comprehensive project plan that fits your vision, timeline, and budget.
- How do we get on the schedule?
-
Once we get the signed estimate and paid deposit, we add your project to the queue with our other projects. The exact timeline of your project start might be influenced by the scope, the weather, and the material availability.
George and the rest of our team keep you updated once you commit to your project!
- I’ve decided I want to change a portion of the project. How does that work?
-
No problem! Depending on the scope of the changes, we can either meet again to address them in the design or make adjustments when we get started with the rest of the work.
- Can you just reuse the old material and save some money?
-
Usually, an older wall or patio doesn’t have functioning materials left—they degrade with time, especially as the walls or surfaces shift. Occasionally, we can carefully disassemble the structure and set it to the side for reuse. However, the cost of the labor approaches the cost for new materials with warranties!
We recommend removing all the old material and starting fresh with new. After all, you want an outdoor space that will last, and the quality and safety of new materials changes the durability of your hardscaping in Kansas City.
When you work with GD Services, the materials are just one part of the equation. You also get the labor, the equipment, the design, and the overall expertise needed to create a space that truly functions for you and your family.
- I’m not sure I like this specific sample, but something close. What can we do?
-
All of the materials vary, so we can meet and share a larger sample size of materials to finalize selections. You also have the chance to ask questions about the material and the installation process.
We consider both the appearance and function of the materials with every recommendation we make for hardscaping in Kansas City.
