Hardscapes

At Aquastone Landscaping, we specialize in designing and building hardscapes that bring structure, purpose, and lasting beauty to your outdoor environment. Serving Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey, Bonney Lake, and the greater Puget Sound region since 1991, we combine natural materials, creative design, and expert craftsmanship to create spaces that feel timeless and uniquely yours. Hardscapes form the backbone of a landscape - the patios you gather on, the walkways you travel, the walls that support your gardens, and the stone features that anchor your property with elegance and strength. Our team blends artistry with engineering to craft outdoor spaces that elevate how you live, relax, and entertain.

A Reputation Built on Stonework Excellence

With over 30 years of experience and a legacy that began as Ward’s Landscaping, Aquastone Landscaping has long been known for its mastery of stone and masonry. Our updated name reflects our passion for integrating natural stone, water elements, and earth-friendly materials into landscapes that withstand the Pacific Northwest climate. Founders David and Dan bring complementary expertise to every hardscape project: David, a Master Gardener and landscape designer, ensures each installation fits harmoniously within the surrounding environment, while Dan’s specialty in custom masonry guarantees precision, durability, and the striking details that set our work apart.

Custom Patios and Outdoor Living Areas

A well-designed patio is the heart of any outdoor living space. Whether you envision a spacious entertainment area, an intimate garden courtyard, or a multi-level gathering space, we plan every detail with purpose. We work with a wide range of materials - including natural stone, pavers, brick, and custom-cut flagstone - to achieve the exact aesthetic and performance you want. Drainage, grading, access points, and long-term durability are always considered, ensuring your patio looks incredible and performs flawlessly through every season.

Pathways, Walkways, and Garden Transitions

Walkways do more than connect spaces - they create flow, guide the eye, and shape how you experience your landscape. Our pathway designs are built with both function and artistry in mind. From meandering natural stone garden paths to formal paver walkways that enhance curb appeal, every installation is built with stable foundations, precise stonework, and attention to long-lasting performance. We consider slope, traffic, lighting, and design symmetry to ensure your walkways enhance both convenience and beauty.

Retaining Walls and Structural Stonework

The Pacific Northwest’s varied terrain makes retaining walls a vital part of many landscapes. Our team designs and installs retaining walls that do more than hold soil - they enhance structure, create usable space, and become standout architectural features. Whether you need a small garden wall, a large structural retaining system, or a terraced layout with integrated planting beds, we use high-quality stone, block, and masonry techniques to deliver long-term stability. Each wall is engineered for proper drainage, soil conditions, and site-specific needs to ensure safety and durability.

Stone Features and Water Integration

True to our name, Aquastone Landscaping excels at combining stone and water into eye-catching, naturalistic elements. From stone staircases and boulder installations to decorative water features that introduce movement and tranquility, our custom stonework adds texture and depth to any outdoor space. These elements are crafted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, enhancing both aesthetics and the overall experience of your yard.
