With nearly three decades in the field and over sixteen years operating Hardscapes By Design, John approaches outdoor construction with a long-term mindset.

Experience changes how you build.

​

Over the years, he has seen what holds up — and what fails — in the Pacific Northwest climate. Soil conditions, drainage management, freeze-thaw movement, and structural base preparation are not afterthoughts. They are foundational.

​

Hardscapes By Design was established in 2008 with a clear standard: build outdoor environments that perform structurally and feel architecturally integrated with the home.

​

• Projects are approached deliberately.

• Systems are built correctly from the ground up.

• Details are controlled.

• Corners are not cut.

​

The result is outdoor construction designed to last — not just to look good on completion day.
