Explore six impactful hardscaping projects—like patios, fire pits, walkways, and retaining walls—that can transform your outdoor space with added function, beauty, and long-term value.
Whether you're enhancing your home or upgrading a commercial property, hardscaping projects are one of the most effective ways to boost curb appeal, improve functionality, and increase long-term value. At Charter Vista, we design and install custom hardscapes that elevate outdoor spaces across the Mid-South and Lowcountry.
If you’re planning updates this season, here are some high-impact projects to consider:
A well-designed patio sets the foundation for how you use your outdoor space. We offer a variety of surfaces—pavers, stone, concrete, and more—customized to match your layout and lifestyle. Add built-in seating, lighting, or integrated planters for a more polished finish.
Ideal for: Entertaining, relaxing, and increasing usable square footage outdoors.
Create natural flow between entrances, garden beds, and gathering areas with thoughtfully placed walkways. Materials like flagstone, brick, and stamped concrete can complement your property’s architecture while enhancing safety and accessibility.
Ideal for: Wayfinding, aesthetics, and creating structure in the landscape.
Whether you're managing elevation or simply looking to add dimension, retaining walls do double duty—solving drainage and erosion issues while adding visual interest. We build structurally sound and visually striking walls from stone, block, or timber.
Ideal for: Sloped yards, foundation protection, and layered planting.
Fire features bring warmth, ambiance, and a focal point to any outdoor space. Combine with curved or built-in seating to create an inviting, year-round gathering spot. Options range from natural stone fire pits to sleek, gas-powered inserts.
Ideal for: Backyard lounging, cool nights, and creating memorable outdoor experiences.
Turn your patio into a culinary destination with a built-in kitchen or grilling station. We design setups that include stone countertops, custom enclosures, sinks, and storage—tailored to how you cook and entertain.
Ideal for: Hosting, backyard events, and adding luxury value.
Upgrade your home’s first impression with a custom driveway, apron, or entry path. Our hardscaping team creates designs that are durable, low-maintenance, and tailored to enhance the property's overall aesthetic.
Ideal for: Long-term functionality, visual impact, and property value.
Whether you're starting small or planning a full outdoor transformation, our team is here to help. Charter Vista’s hardscape experts bring design insight, precision installation, and decades of regional experience to every project.
