Custom Hardscape Construction in Los Angeles
Architecturally Integrated Outdoor Living Environments
Earth Design provides custom hardscape construction throughout Los Angeles County, creating structurally sound, visually cohesive outdoor environments that complement the architecture of each property.
With over 28 years of licensed construction experience, we design and build premium hardscape systems engineered for durability, drainage performance, and long-term structural integrity.
Hardscape is not decorative — it is structural.
When properly designed, it anchors the entire landscape.
What Is Custom Hardscape Construction?
Hardscape refers to the built, non-plant elements of an outdoor environment, including:
• Paver patios
• Concrete installations
• Retaining walls
• Seat walls
• Courtyards
• Decomposed granite pathways
• Outdoor gathering spaces
• Integrated turf transitions
Custom hardscape construction means these elements are designed specifically for the site’s architecture, grading, drainage needs, and intended use.
No templates.
No pre-set patterns.
Every project is site-specific.
Materials We Install
Earth Design constructs hardscape systems using:
• Interlocking pavers
• Cast-in-place concrete
• Decorative concrete finishes
• Retaining wall systems
• Natural stone
• Gravel and decomposed granite
• Integrated step systems
Material selection is guided by architectural compatibility, durability requirements, and traffic load.
Integration With Landscape & Turf
Hardscape must integrate seamlessly with surrounding landscape elements.
We coordinate:
• Artificial turf transitions
• Drought-tolerant planting areas
• Irrigation systems
