Permaculture Artisans designs and custom builds a wide range of quality hardscapes. Hardscapes can be one of the most prominent features of a landscape. Often a patio or a pathway is what connects the human experience with the garden or farm. The more we feel at home in our landscapes the more we can relax and enjoy our investment while having great functionality at the same time. With good permanent access in (like a flagstone pathway) your landscape the easier it is to maintain and the better it will look and feel.
Permaculture Artisans natural building hardscapes are made from a material called cob. Cob is a mixture of clay, sand and straw and has many, many uses including benches; Wood fired ovens, chicken coops, outdoor kitchens, and more. The benefits of using cob in a landscape are natural beauty, locally sourced materials, radiant heating, microclimate moderation, strength and durability. Cob can be shaped into almost anything making it one if the best materials for functional art in a landscape.
Flagstone steps, patios, rock walls and pathways are all possible options to meet the needs of a client and their site. Flagstone, rock, pavers, brick, and decomposed granite are all materials we use to build most of our hardscapes.
We love building Dry stacked rocks walls as they can be a great addition to a landscape, they define space, retain soil, add radiant heat, as well as offer great habitat for beneficial lizards!
