Cape Cod's unique landscape and charming coastal aesthetic inspire hardscaping projects that blend functionality with beauty. Here are some popular hardscaping ideas from Tim Baker & Sons Landscape Division:

Stone Walls:

• Seawalls: These sturdy structures protect against erosion and crashing waves, often incorporating local fieldstone or granite boulders for a natural look.
• Terrace Walls: Stone walls create tiered levels on sloping terrain, adding dimension and usable space to the landscape. They can be dry-stacked for a rustic feel or mortared for a more formal look.
• Garden Walls: Enclosing vegetable patches or flowerbeds with stone walls adds a touch of whimsy and defines garden boundaries. Scalloped stones or colorful pebbles can add a playful touch.

Sidewalks:

• Crushed seashell paths: A quintessential Cape Cod touch, crushed seashells provide a crisp, white contrast to greenery and offer a naturally slip-resistant surface.
• Brick walkways: Classic red brick pavers create a timeless elegance, perfect for leading to the front door or winding through a garden.
• Cobblestone paths: Irregular cobblestones add an Old World charm, ideal for patios or winding through shady woodlands.

Spreading Driveway Stone:

• Pea gravel: This budget-friendly option offers good drainage and a rustic charm, perfect for driveways, pathways, and around firepits.
• Crushed bluestone: This bluish-gray stone adds a touch of sophistication and complements the Cape Cod coastal palette.
• Oyster shells: Crushed oyster shells offer a unique, textural look and provide a natural calcium boost for nearby plants.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. When choosing materials and designs, consider your budget, the overall style of your home, and the functionality of the space.
