Hardscaping Installations

We design and build beautiful low maintenance hardscapes

 Hardscape Design & Installation In Clayton, North Carolina

Hardscaping is an industry term and not everyone knows exactly what it means.  Let us quickly explain.  There are two main elements to a landscape and these are hardscaping and softscaping.  Hardscaping is all of the "hard" or man-made elements that make up your landscape.  This could include a paver driveway, a paver patio, a walkway from your driveway to your front door, a retaining wall to carve out some useable space on a slope, a pool deck, a rock water feature, and it would include outdoor structures like decks, gazebos, pergolas, and pavilions.

Softscaping would be your lawn area, all of your garden beds, hedges, and shrubs, and plantings. Hardscaped areas of your landscaping are more expensive to install.  They must be designed, planned, and constructed which is time consuming to complete.  The materials and labor involved make them the more expensive side of your landscaping.  Your hardscaping will much lower maintenance requirements and can provide enjoyment for many years as they are not "living" like your lawns or gardens.

Rodrigo’s Landscaping is a landscaping contractor based out of Clayton, North Carolina and serving Wake County, including: Apex, Cary, Clayton, Garner, Knightdale, Raleigh, and Rolesville. We specialize in the design and installation of hardscapes including paver patios, paver walkways and steps, outdoor kitchens, paver pool decks, outdoor firepits, and we also install paver driveways. From a new stone paver patio to surround your pool to a beautiful backyard patio with an outdoor kitchen to enjoy those summer evenings, we can help make your hardscaping project a reality.

OMG! We are in love with our new stamped concrete patio! I searched and searched and spoke with several contractors before choosing one. After my conversation with Rodrigo I was sold. He was soooo professional, which is a big deal to me. He was very detailed and left me with a complete understanding how this process would work. Throughout the process he kept in contact with me and kept me updated every step of the way. He's very polite and very reliable. I couldn't have asked for a better company to chose. We are definitely using Rodrigos Landscaping for future projects!

"Hey neighbors! I wanted to give a quick shout-out to Rodrigo’s Landscaping. After reaching out to several companies without much luck, they were the only ones who showed up promptly for an estimate. Their responsiveness and professionalism really stood out to me. If you're looking for reliable service, I highly recommend giving them a call!"

We can't say enough good things about Rodrigo and his team. We were looking a team that was more than just landscaping and we found a great team. Rodrigo was prompt, professional, and very responsive from the onset (and he was this way throughout the project). It was great he was able to provide "mockup" photos representing what we were asking for to get a visual before making final decisions on our work. He and his team worked diligently on our project in this July heat and even in the rain. We were very impressed with their cleanup efforts once the work was complete - our neighborhood is small, with homes close together and they kept their work space tidy during the work period and cleaned sidewalks and street area before leaving. We are beyond satisfied with the final product (mulch replaced with rock bed, all bushes removed and replaced with greenery and a small concrete pad expansion). Highly recommend Rodrigo's Landscaping.

Rodrigo is a great person to work with. He is quick to respond and just an overall pleasant experience. He put in a retaining wall in the back of my property and constructed a screen for my pool pump. One year later and it's still looking great. I would recommend Rodrigo in a heartbeat.

In a world of where contractor woes are a common complaint, it's a relief to find someone like Rodrigo. He is hard working, organized, a good listener, and attentive to detail. Beyond that, he has a great eye and can visualize a landscape that looks amazing and then make it happen. His team members have the same skills, and are able to help you see the how the technical aspects of the work come together with your plan. Our garden patio update and sod look perfect with our mid-century modernist house. Clean lines and a modern but natural look.

I emailed the company from the website asking for an estimate. I was quickly contacted to discuss the project. Rodrigo was able to provide a rough estimate based on measurements and a sketch of what I was wanting. He then setup a time to come to the site to verify/confirm the project. The estimate provided over the phone was very close to the “real” estimate…no hidden fees or charges. If you’re looking for a professional that is prompt, responsive, and provides a great product, make sure you give Rodrigo’s a call.

I had happened to reach out to Rodrigo for a free estimate and scope of work for a job in my backyard. Rodrigo was very punctual, responsive, and always followed up. He had got the scope of work and proposal on time. He is the guy you could trust. I couldn't do a project with him due to unavoidable reasons at the last minute but came here to leave a review about his professionalism!!!!

Highly recommend Rodrigo’s Landscaping to anybody who is looking to get a professional work done. They did an amazing job making a concrete retaining wall for us. They worked very fast and finished the job in just 2 days. Very happy with the results. Also, they followed the contract and executed everything in the way we asked them to. Would use them again in the future.

For the past 2 years, I have been searching for a good hardscaping company which can help transform my backyard / frontyard. Many contractors would come and take a look and would either not send the quote or never understood what I was looking for from landscaping design standpoint. I contacted Rodrigo through FB and he came the next day(I believe Sunday) to take a look and gave me a quote in couple of days. Rodrigo is thorough and easy to work with. He will make sure you are satisfied with the design and outcome of the project. He is there at every stage of the project, continuously monitoring the progress and answer any questions I had at each stage. His team works really well and does a thorough job. At times, I raised concerns that the work is not as expected and his team took the inputs/feedback and made corrections and completed the work to satisfaction. All in all, Rodrigo’s Landscaping team did a fantastic job with my backyard / frontyard. I would highly recommend them for any major project you want to get done. You will not be disappointed.

This is the second project that Rodrigo and his crew did for us. There’s a reason that we are a repeat customer and will continue to go to this business for any landscaping needs. Rodrigo himself is very professional, personable, and most importantly a trustworthy individual. He is super responsive and very accommodating to our schedule. His crew does a fantastic job with no corners cut. I highly recommend working with Rodrigo.

I've used Rodrigo Landscaping for three major projects at my residence; Cedar Mulch and tree & leaf removal that accumulated for 15yrs. I was impress with his professionalism i hired him again to install three 9ft green giant trees and cut down a few trees to allow the new trees to fully grown. The 3rd project was aerate and reseeding my one acre yard. He had an interesting service I had not had for the 20yrs I've owned my home. It was called removal of the dirt buds left by the aeration machine. In summary, he has always kept to his commitment of our landscape contracts and I respect and appreciate his style of running a landscape business. He's a rare gem and I plan to use him again!

Rodrigo and his crew did a marvelous job. First of all Rodrigo responded to our request for a Landscape design and quote the same day. He was on time, very professional and created a landscape design by the next day at a very competitive price. He explained exactly what they would be doing and how long it would take to complete the job. One week later his crew showed up and completed the project that day. They left the site in perfect condition and Rodrigo came by to make sure we were satisfied with the work. I would recommend Rodrigo's Landscaping to anyone. He honest, creative, professional, knowledgeable, reasonable and on time.

We recently hired Rodrigo to regrade our front and back yard, install zoysia sod, create mulch beds with steel borders, add a french drain, and lay stone paths. Rodrigo was professional and delivered on our vision. His team completed the work within a couple of days of starting. We couldn’t be happier with our choice! If you want a job well done I would highly recommend Rodrigo’s Landscaping. The pictures speak for themselves

Rodrigo unexpectedly stopped by and offered to spread a pile of mulch we had sitting in our driveway. We ended up hiring him to weed our landscaping and spread the mulch. He was fast, priced fairly, and detail oriented! We plan to use him for lawn maintenance throughout the upcoming summer.
