Hardscaping in Othello creates defined, structured outdoor spaces on the open, flat Basin landscape. Without natural terrain features, hardscaping provides all the structure — raised planters for privacy, retaining borders for landscape definition, and elevated pool decks for visual interest on otherwise uniform terrain.
Othello's flat lots lack the natural grade changes that create visual interest in hillside communities. Our hardscape designs compensate by building subtle level changes, raised features, and texture variations that give the outdoor space depth and character.
Positive drainage on Othello's flat terrain requires careful hardscape grading. We engineer a minimum 2% slope across all hardscape surfaces, directing water away from structures and pool edges while maintaining comfortable, nearly imperceptible grades for walking and furniture placement.

Positive drainage grading across all surfaces for properties without natural grade
Raised structural features — planters, seat walls, fire pits — adding dimension and purpose
Othello hardscape projects create visual interest through design ingenuity rather than natural terrain. Raised planters, seat walls, level transitions, and material contrasts bring dimension to the flat landscape. Every surface is graded for positive drainage since the flat terrain provides no natural flow.
