Concrete Hardscape in the Lower Mainland
Concrete hardscape that connects grades, gathering areas, paths, walls, landscape features, and site drainage.
What belongs in the scope
Hardscape is a coordinated site system rather than a collection of isolated pours. Paths, patios, steps, seating, planters, retaining elements, lighting, irrigation, planting soil, and drainage need shared elevations and a consistent material plan. The concrete scope should identify interfaces, movement joints, finishes, edge conditions, and sequencing.
Plan the site before the pour
Start with a grading and circulation plan. Confirm how people move through the site, where water goes, which areas carry vehicles or equipment, and how the work meets buildings and property lines. Landscape and concrete teams should resolve embeds, sleeves, drains, and protection before placement.
Concrete Hardscape planning questions
What should be designed before pricing hardscape?
A dimensioned concept with key elevations, intended uses, material transitions, drainage direction, and major landscape features provides the clearest basis for scope and pricing.
Can different concrete finishes be combined?
Yes. Sample review, joint alignment, colour expectations, cleaning, and how finishes meet at edges should be decided before construction.
How are planters and walls coordinated?
Loads, waterproofing, drainage, soil, irrigation, reinforcement, and structural requirements should be resolved with the design team before concrete work begins.
