Hardscapes
At Earthtones Hardscape, hardscaping is more than installing pavers or building walls — it’s about creating outdoor spaces that are functional, durable, and designed to be enjoyed for years to come. We specialize in custom hardscape design and installation for homeowners throughout the greater Harrisburg and York areas, helping transform underused yards into beautiful outdoor living environments.Hardscaping forms the backbone of any successful outdoor space. From patios and walkways to retaining walls and outdoor kitchens, properly built hardscapes provide structure, improve drainage, define usable areas, and increase property value. Our team takes the time to understand how you want to use your space, then designs and installs hardscape features that fit your home, lifestyle, and budget.
Custom Paver Patios Built for Outdoor Living
Paver patios are one of the most popular hardscapes features we install because of their versatility, durability, and design flexibility. A professionally installed paver patio creates a comfortable outdoor living area perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and spending time with family.We design patios in a wide range of layouts, sizes, and styles — from simple gathering spaces to large, multi-level patios with seating walls, fire features, and outdoor kitchens. Our team carefully prepares the base, manages grading and drainage, and installs high-quality pavers to ensure your patio holds up through Central Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal weather changes.
Walkways, Sidewalks & Steps
Walkways and steps play a critical role in both safety and curb appeal. We install paver walkways and sidewalks that guide movement naturally throughout your property while complementing your home’s exterior and landscape design.Custom steps are often necessary to manage elevation changes between patios, entrances, and yard areas. Each step system is properly sized, levelled, and constructed for long-term stability. By focusing on both form and function, we create walkways and steps that look great and perform reliably year after year.
Retaining Walls & Sitting Walls
Retaining walls are essential for managing slopes, preventing erosion, and creating usable outdoor space. Our retaining wall installations are engineered to handle soil pressure, moisture, and grading challenges common in Central Pennsylvania properties. In addition to structural retaining walls, we also build sitting walls that serve as casual seating around patios, fire pits, and outdoor gathering areas. Sitting walls add functionality without cluttering the space with furniture and help tie different hardscape elements together into a cohesive design.Fire Pits, Fireplaces & Gathering Features
Fire features add warmth, ambiance, and year-round usability to outdoor spaces. We design and install custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that become natural focal points for your backyard.Whether you prefer a simple fire pit for casual evenings or a more dramatic fireplace integrated into a patio or seating wall, our fire features are built with safety, durability, and style in mind. These features extend your outdoor season and create inviting spaces for entertaining or relaxing.
Outdoor Kitchens & Poolside Hardscapes
Outdoor kitchens take backyard entertaining to the next level. We install outdoor kitchen components such as built-in grills, countertops, storage, and prep areas that are designed to withstand the elements while remaining easy to maintain.For homeowners with pools, we also specialize in poolscapes that enhance safety and visual appeal. Paver pool decks offer excellent drainage, slip resistance, and comfort underfoot, making them a smart and attractive choice around pools and spas.
Pergolas, Outdoor Lighting & Finishing Details
The finishing touches are what truly bring a hardscape project together. Pergolas add structure, shade, and architectural interest to patios and outdoor living areas, creating defined spaces within your yard.LED outdoor lighting improves safety while enhancing nighttime ambiance. We incorporate lighting into walkways, steps, walls, and feature areas to highlight your hardscape investment and make your outdoor space usable after sunset.
