Concrete Landscaping Features to Enhance Your Backyard

​Many calls we get are requests to complete backyard hardscaping projects such as patios, walkways, pool decks or retaining walls.  We make sure that all projects fit your design needs, but also serve a practical purpose. Below are some of the most common backyard concrete projects we carry out in Honolulu and throughout Oahu.

• Walkway. Using concrete for your backyard walkways results in permanent, low maintenance addition that will boost the esthetic attractiveness of your home and provide a secure and flat area for people to walk so they don’t have to stomp through mud on rainy days.  You can choose between concrete slabs and concrete or stone pavers.
• Retaining walls . These are widely utilized for aesthetic appeal and structural stability in many landscape designs. Remove hilly areas of your backyard will make it simpler to mow your lawn and provide more room for your enjoyment. These walls are mostly constructed of concrete blocks, so you can select a specific design and build a matching patio.  Many people also add a bench to their retaining walls so that additional seating is available that blends in with the landscape design.
• Patios  Most people love to chat, sit with friends and to eat in a comfortable backyard. Concrete patios are ideal for your backyard because they allow for so many options. The pattern may be stained or stamped to make decorative patterns or textures. Plus, you can add additional features such as a  fire pit. 
• Fountain or Water Feature Concrete is a perfect material for water features because they are both long-lasting and weatherproof. Birdbaths are common in the backyard because they are straightforward to manage.  Another common water feature is a backyard fountain.  The sound of the water can add to outdoor relaxation and aesthetically speaking, a fountain can add a nice accent to any patio or yard. 
• Decorative Wall  Some people opt for concrete or masonry walls to add an element of style or to enhance the level of privacy of their yard.  Some can be very elaborate and can include gardening beds as well.
• Add an Outdoor Fireplace Outdoor fireplaces create an indoor/outdoor quality to your backyard space.  Fireplaces are typically associated with coziness, comfort and gathering around, which makes them a popular feature for outdoor areas.
