The cost of hardscaping can vary a lot. For instance, a two-car driveway might cost between $9,500 and $18,000, depending on the materials used (concrete is usually the more budget-friendly option). A large custom pergola can exceed $8,000, and our advanced fire pits start at $4,500. Estimating costs can be tricky without knowing the details of the project. During our initial phone consultation, we can provide a more accurate estimate.
