Hardscapes in Gainesville

Hardscape is the part of the yard that lasts. Pavers, flagstone, stacked stone and block, set on a proper base so they stay level through a Florida rainy season.

What goes in before anything shows

Hardscapes in Gainesville is decided below the surface. Scroll and the ground comes apart.

  1. 01Mulch. Top dressing. It holds water in the sand and keeps the bed edge honest.
  2. 02Amended topsoil. The planting layer. What goes in here decides whether the plants live.
  3. 03Irrigation lateral. Poly line and risers, zoned for turf, beds and trees before anything is planted over them.
  4. 04Compacted base. Under every paver and walkway, so the surface stays level through a Florida rainy season.
  5. 05Subgrade. North Florida sand. Everything above it is a decision somebody made.
