PGS Landscape is the trusted hardscape contractor for homeowners and businesses across Santa Cruz County and Monterey County. With over 40 years of hands-on experience, we design and build hardscape features that are built to last, look beautiful, and add real value to your property.
What Is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to the non-plant elements of your landscape: patios, retaining walls, driveways, walkways, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and other built structures. Great hardscape design creates the foundation for your entire outdoor living space, defining areas for entertaining, relaxing, cooking, and more.
Our Hardscape Services
Patios
Custom patios in flagstone, concrete, pavers, or brick. We design patios for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing outdoors. A well-built patio is the centerpiece of any backyard.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls solve real problems on sloped properties: erosion control, terracing, drainage management, and creating usable flat areas. We build retaining walls in natural stone, concrete block, boulders, timber, and poured concrete.
Driveways
Your driveway is the first thing visitors see. PGS installs driveways in concrete, pavers, gravel, and decomposed granite, with proper grading and drainage built in.
Outdoor Kitchens
Complete outdoor kitchen installations with built-in grills, sinks, refrigerators, cabinets, and countertops in flagstone or stained concrete. California's climate is made for outdoor cooking and entertaining.
Walkways and Pathways
Custom walkways connect your home to your garden, patio, and other outdoor areas. We use flagstone, pavers, concrete, and natural stone to create paths that are both functional and attractive.
Fire Pits and Fireplaces
Extend your outdoor living season with a custom fire pit or outdoor fireplace. PGS builds fire features that become the gathering spot for family and friends.
