Transforming Your Outdoor Living Space:
Pavers, Patios, and Flatwork


Whether you are looking to host the ultimate summer barbecue or simply want to increase your home’s curb appeal, the "floor" of your outdoor space sets the stage. At Sunscape Landscaping, we specialize in high-quality hardscaping that blends durability with aesthetic elegance.


Custom Paver Installations

Pavers are the gold standard for homeowners seeking versatility and long-term value. Unlike solid slabs, pavers are individual units—made of concrete, brick, or natural stone—that "interlock" to create a flexible pavement system.

  • Durability: Pavers are designed to withstand heavy loads and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles without cracking.
  • Permeability: Options like permeable pavers allow rainwater to filter back into the ground, reducing runoff and protecting your landscape.
  • Style Options: From the rustic charm of tumbled cobblestone to the sleek, modern lines of large-format planks, there is a texture and color to match any architectural style.


The Heart of the Backyard: Patios

A well-designed patio serves as an outdoor extension of your home’s living room. We focus on creating functional "zones" within your patio to maximize usability.

  1. Dining Areas: Level surfaces specifically engineered to handle heavy patio furniture and outdoor kitchens.
  2. Fire Features: Integrated fire pits or outdoor fireplaces that serve as a natural gathering point.
  3. Borders & Accents: Using contrasting colors or textures (sailor or soldier courses) to define the perimeter and add a professional, finished look.


Professional Flatwork

"Flatwork" refers to any horizontal concrete surface. While often thought of as purely functional, modern techniques allow us to turn standard concrete into a design feature.

  • Stamped Concrete: We can mimic the look of slate, flagstone, or even wood grain at a more accessible price point than natural stone.
  • Brushed & Exposed Aggregate: Perfect for pool decks and high-traffic walkways, these finishes provide essential slip resistance while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.
  • Foundational Precision: Proper grading and sub-base preparation are our top priorities to ensure your flatwork remains level and drains water away from your home’s foundation.



The Sunscape Difference

Hardscaping is an investment in your property's equity.
We don't just "lay stone"; we engineer outdoor environments.


Our process includes:

  • Excavation & Base Compaction: Ensuring a rock-solid foundation to prevent shifting.
  • Edge Restraints: Keeping pavers locked tightly in place for years to come.
  • Polymeric Sanding: Filling joints with specialized sand that resists weeds and prevents washout.
