Commercial Hardscaping Examples and How They Benefit Your Property

There are endless options when deciding on a commercial hardscape addition in St. Louis. Whether you just need a simple patio, to set up a retaining wall, or want to stand out with a water feature, Second Nature has got you covered. Here’s a few of the hardscaping options we can help you with:

Patios

Paver patios are a popular choice for St. Louis commercial spaces, as they offer high levels of customizability. You can find a style that works for you and fits your building’s space. Then, use it to set up an appealing entrance or a comfortable back porch.

Driveways

If people are coming to your building in cars, one commercial hardscape feature you’ll probably need is a driveway. A high-quality, built-to-last driveway like the ones we install at Second Nature will ensure both safe travel and enhance curb appeal.

Retaining Walls

If your building is on one of St. Louis’ many hills, you might want to look at installing retaining walls or terraces to give the landscape a more orderly, appealing appearance. On top of that, they can help hold soil in and/or back, protecting your land from shifting.

Walkways

If your property has more than one structure on it, installing a hardscape walkway gives pedestrians a clean, professional way to move between locations. Walkways can also be good ways to connect different hardscape features.

Fire Pits

Fire Pits give a space for people to gather around while they’re outdoors. During the summer, people can gather in the evenings to toast marshmallows. In the sporadic St. Louis winters, firepits make outdoor locations habitable no matter the weather.

Water Features

Nothing adds to your building’s curb appeal like water features and waterfalls. These can range from koi ponds, to classic fountains, to unique rain gardens that redirect waterflow and prevent erosion.

Shaded Areas

Whether it’s standalone, or combined with one of the above ideas, adding shaded areas helps keep your property comfortable. Avoid sunburns in the St. Louis summers and get a chance to relax in some always-available shade.

Custom Jobs

Do you think your property needs commercial hardscaping, but something other than the options listed above? We also do custom projects. We can help bring your vision to life.

St. Louis Commercial Hardscape FAQs

We're here to guide you through the commercial hardscape process in Franklin County and throughout St. Louis, from design to installation. Check out our answers to some common questions below:

  • What's the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?

    Many people mix up the two, but the distinction between hardscaping and landscaping is actually quite simple: Hardscaping includes the permanent, inanimate parts of your yard (like a patio) while landscaping is the dynamic, living parts (like trees and grass).

  • What are currently popular hardscape designs in St. Louis?

    A popular modern choice for hardscape is pathways or patios made of permeable concrete. These both help manage water flow and are better for the environment.

    There is also a push for hardscape made of porcelain in Franklin County. This material is easier to maintain in that it is resistant to staining.

  • What are the most affordable hardscape options?

    If you want to implement economical hardscaping solutions, you should consider the type of feature you want and the material it's made out of.

    Simpler features like walkways and patios are normally more affordable than those with intricate designs.

    Concrete, brick, and pavers are all relatively affordable construction materials, and can be used for a variety of hardscape ideas.

  • Can you also help renovate outdated hardscape?

    Yes! Second Nature offers excavation services, which we can use to prep the site before implementing your new feature. Or, if only small changes are needed, we can help you with design tips to modernize your existing space.
