Landscape construction is one of the most common features we are asked about. From decks to fences, they are useful additions that can really take your yard to the next level. Quality landscaping construction is important because these are the things that you will use on a daily basis and they need to stand the test of time. Whether you really need something quick and easy like a fence or you need something more complex, we are here to help you with whatever you have in mind. We will collaborate with you to find what you need and give you the best possible result.

We design each and every piece of your backyard from scratch - these are not "one size fits most" plans that we edit. We look at things like your needs, your lifestyle, what your yard has, and most importantly, your budget.

At JRS Landscaping, we want people to get back outside again. To do this, we help them create outdoor spaces that are comfortable, functional, and high quality. Hardscaping is a great way to get those spaces because a lot of what we do mimics your indoor comforts.

Hardscape Options

There are a lot of things that fall under the "hardscape design and installation" umbrella. This basically includes anything that doesn't have to do with plants or trees, but could include that in our designs.

One of the basic fixes for your yard is a paver or natural stone walkway. We can work with what you already have to make getting around your yard a little easier. Form non-slip walkways to help with mobility to natural pathways that seem to become a part of your yard, there are many ways you could go.

Another fix that many people use is a retaining wall or garden walls. If you have problems with slipping soil or erosion, retaining walls and garden walls help keep everything in place. Even more, they give a more dimensional look to your hard that many people find aesthetically pleasing. Once we have the walls set up, we can even help you choose plants and trees that will work well there.

Patios are another simple solution that many people choose. This area makes a great gathering spot for your family, whether you are grilling or just sitting around and talking while watching the kids run around the yard. Patios can be as simple or as fancy as you want - all you have to do is talk to us about your plans. We also work on pool decks, which can give you similar space to lounge and play in your yard.

Water elements are a great addition to any backyard because they add sound, movement, and even bring wildlife (the kinds you want) into your yard. From ponds to waterfalls (and both combined), we will design a pond of any size that works with your yard. If you are looking to really create something special, a pond can be a great focal point to build a magical backyard from.

From water we move to heat and fire - outdoor kitchens and fireplaces are focal areas of any great backyard for people who love to entertain. They keep your backyard open for a lot longer into the season and make it a gathering place for everyone.

The yard of your dreams isn't that far away - and it's affordable. Visit www.jrsstatecollege.com to discuss your ideas for your new backyard.
