Installing Hardscapes

Follow these tips when installing a hardscape:

Begin your hardscape installation with grading and contouring. Start by correcting slopes or building up areas as needed.
Build retaining walls and plant bed perimeters.
At least three days before you do any digging, remember to "Call Before You Dig" by dialing 811 to check for any buried utility lines.
Run a PVC "sleeve" underneath fences, patios or other hardscape areas where irrigation lines or outdoor lighting wires will need to cross.
Install any rock or hard surfaces such as walkways, patios or boulders.
Remember, while mulch is technically considered a hardscape component, it will not be installed until after your plants.
