FAQ
Hardscape planning questions.
What to expect when booking hardscaping in Chilliwack.
What counts as hardscaping in Chilliwack?
Patios, walkways, pads, edging, steps, and related stone or concrete work that structure the outdoor living area, often paired with walls, turf, or pergolas.
Do you build bases before pavers or slabs?
Yes. Compaction and drainage under the finish decide longevity. We treat hardscape bases with the same discipline as turf and wall footings.
Can hardscape tie into artificial turf?
Absolutely. Clean edges between pavers and turf are a common Wesma finish. We plan elevations so water sheds correctly across both.
What materials do you recommend?
Interlocking pavers, concrete, natural stone, and gravel systems depending on use and budget. We match the house architecture when possible.
How long does a patio project take?
Small walks can finish quickly; full patio and seating pads take longer once excavation and base are included. Call 604-845-2095 with dimensions for a schedule.
Do you handle drainage under hardscape?
We design falls away from the house and can include drains where low spots collect water, which is important for hardscaping in Chilliwack’s wet months.
Is a pergola or wall part of hardscaping?
Walls and outdoor structures often share the same crew and schedule. See our retaining walls and pergolas pages for dedicated scopes.
