Terms used to describe landscape work can be confusing. Landscape maintenance companies often call themselves "landscapers". In fact, the term "landscaper" encompasses many fields -  there are landscape architects and designers who focus on design and/or drawings, landscape construction companies who install based on those designs, masons who do stone and brickwork, etc.

Georgia Natural Scapes is a landscape design and construction company, which means we do everything from design to installation, including bi-annual cleanup and color, but we do not offer regular scheduled "mow and blow" maintenance. About the term "hardscape"....

Hardscape is a relatively new term that was created to describe the non-plant elements within the landscape design. The hardscape must work in harmony with the overall design, and proper design and installation is crucial. These non-plant elements include:

• Patios & Pathways
• Steps & Stairways
• Retaining Walls
• Fireplaces & Fire Pits
• Outdoor Kitchens
• Fountains
• Driveways & Parking Pads

Hardscaping includes the use of materials such as:

• Stone
• Textured Block
• Concrete
• Brick
• Stucco
• Wood
