Hardscape Outdoor Living

Outdoor living spaces are one of the most exciting trends in home improvement. You can rely on Greenview Direct to create an attractive, functional space for you and your friends and family.

If you love spending time outside, an outdoor fireplace or fire pit is exactly what you need to make your backyard the ultimate space for entertaining and spending time with your family and friends. Whether you prefer a modest look with a fire pit and a couple of chairs or you want your outdoor fireplace to be part of your full-blown outdoor kitchen, Greenview Direct is the answer for your vision.
Before you decide which feature is best for your backyard, you should understand the basic differences between outdoor fireplaces and fire pits to make the right choice for your home.
An outdoor fireplace will look much like the fireplace in your home—complete with a hearth and a chimney. Grand and stunning in appearance, fireplaces make a more dramatic statement in your yard. A fire pit is usually an open structure that can be round, square, or any other shape you prefer. The top of a fire pit is open to the air, making it perfect for gathering around and roasting marshmallows.
Though a fireplace or fire pit is great along with an outdoor kitchen, you don’t need a full kitchen to have a large outdoor fireplace.
An outdoor fireplace is a perfect addition to your patio if you simply enjoy sitting outside year-round. Whatever your preferred look may be, your new outdoor fireplace or fire pit will bring your backyard to the next level!

Retaining walls aren’t just for function. Yes, if you live on a hill or slope you should be concerned about erosion ruining your landscape and even posing a threat to your home. But retaining walls can also be installed for aesthetic purposes. Whatever your need, installing a retaining wall is an easy fix to hold back soil and add more integrity and interest to your hillside. Custom retaining walls not only keep your landscape design intact but can also function as an aesthetic element to visually enhance your backyard’s design. If you’re looking to install a retaining wall in the Montgomery Village area, our professional landscapers can guide you through your options.

One of the best things about building retaining walls is that the options are almost endless. Retaining walls can be designed with a variety of different materials, including versatile and colorful segmented blocks or handsome and rustic natural stone. You can use old railroad ties, natural stone, and even concrete. We install both stone and modular block retaining walls, including:

• Bricks
• Natural Stone
• Pavers
• And more!

Your home’s architecture, landscape design, and type of slope or hill will all determine which type of retaining wall blocks are best for you. A Greenview Direct designer will walk you through the process of choosing the best type of retaining wall block for you.
