Homeowners usually come to hardscape contractors in Greenville, SC, with one element in mind. A patio, or a wall, or a set of steps up a bank. What they rarely arrive with is the order those things have to happen in, and that order is where a yard either comes together or ends up with a patio that drains into a wall built the year before.

Some backyards have everything going for them except a reason to go outside for extended periods of time.

That was the situation for a homeowner in Greenville, SC, who reached out to Paramount Outdoor Living last year. The yard was clean, and the patio was functional, but without any sense of definition, it sat empty most of the summer.
