Structure for
outdoor living.

A welcoming entrance. A path through planting. A patio with room to gather. Hardscaping gives the garden its structure and shapes the way you move through it.

SOL Landscapes + Construction works with homeowners, landscape architects and designers to build outdoor spaces on Salt Spring Island. We consider the relationship between paving, the home and the living landscape, with careful attention to materials and construction details.

Hardscape services

Patios & outdoor spaces

Paved areas for dining, gathering and enjoying the garden. The layout and materials are discussed around your property, plans and how you want to use the space.

Garden paths & walkways

Paths that connect entrances, outdoor seating and planted areas. From flagstone routes through the garden to more structured paving, each element is considered within the wider landscape.

Paving & landscape connections

Paved surfaces and transitions between the home and garden, coordinated with adjoining planting, timber and concrete work.

Concrete within the landscape

Concrete patios, steps and walls are a SOL specialty. For details of this work, explore our concrete services ↗.

Consider the
whole landscape.

Hardscape work can be part of a larger project that includes planting, lawns, fences or other timber structures. Planning these elements together helps establish a clear scope and sequence for construction.

Share your site photographs or landscape drawings with Taylor. We can discuss materials, changes in level, drainage considerations and site access as part of reviewing what your project requires.

Before we begin

What is hardscaping?

Hardscaping is the built part of a landscape: patios, paving, paths, steps and walls. Planting and lawns form the living elements around it. SOL brings these parts together through landscape construction.

Where does SOL offer hardscaping and paving?

SOL is based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Include your property location when you contact Taylor so access and project logistics can be discussed.

Can you work from a landscape architect’s plans?

Yes. SOL works with homeowners, landscape architects and designers. Send your drawings so Taylor can review the construction scope and discuss the proposed materials and details with your team.

Can planting and fences be included?

Yes. SOL also offers planting and garden installation, lawns, fences and timber work. Let Taylor know which elements you have in mind so they can be considered together in the project scope.

How much will my hardscaping project cost?

Cost depends on the size of the area, selected materials, existing site conditions, access and the preparation required. Share your plans or site photographs, approximate budget and preferred timing to begin a conversation about an estimate.
