Stone work and hardscaping on an Asheville, NC property
01

Stone Work & Hardscaping

Natural Scapes offers a wide array of custom and unique stonework, focused on beautiful displays that blend almost seamlessly into the surrounding natural elements. Most of our hardscaping work in Asheville starts with the slope — walls, walkways, and patios that hold a mountain lot in place while they look like they grew there.

  • Walkway and driveway installation in brick, paver, and natural stone
  • Retaining walls in stone, pressure-treated timber, and interlocking concrete systems
  • Accent features from large and small boulders, as well as groupings
Outdoor Living

Outdoor Living

Custom designs build your outdoor living space to your specifications, from a year-round outdoor kitchen to a stone fire pit that keeps everyone warm through the cold months.

  • Natural-stone outdoor kitchen sets and fireplaces
  • Open and closed BBQs
  • Unique patio sets and adjoining walkways
  • Customizable wood deck and stair options
  • Gazebos, arbors, and fences, large and small
Drainage Systems
03

Drainage Systems

Whether it's erosion from a steep bank or damage from a strong storm, we solve everyday water-drainage issues with non-invasive, sustainable solutions.

  • French drains
  • Dry creek beds
  • Open drains
  • Catch basins and buried pipe systems
Low-Maintenance Landscapes
04

Low-Maintenance Landscapes

Low-maintenance landscapes have been our staple since 1997. Using heavy mulching, targeted planting, and draining paths, we design landscapes that are more self-sufficient and less labor-intensive, working with nature, not against it.

  • Custom landscape design that uncovers your land's natural beauty
  • Targeted, low-water native and adapted plantings
  • Heavy mulching and draining paths for self-sufficiency
Water Features
05

Water Features

Custom water features, fountains, bogs, and ponds for residential and commercial properties. Arranged with aquatic plants, stone, and driftwood, a flowing feature lends tranquility, and can even enable a new ecosystem on your land.

  • Ponds and pondless waterfalls
  • Fountains and cascading features
  • Bogs and natural water gardens
  • Aquatic and marginal planting design
We couldn't be happier with the work. They made our property more functional and beautiful.

Frequently asked questions

What hardscaping services do you offer in Asheville?

Hardscaping is the stone and structural half of a landscape, and it is a core part of what we build. That covers patios and adjoining walkways in brick, paver, and natural stone, retaining walls, stone stairways, fire pits, natural-stone outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, wood decks and stairs, and structures like gazebos and arbors. On Western North Carolina lots most of that work starts with grading and drainage rather than stone, because a patio has to be level on ground that is not, and a wall only lasts if the water behind it has somewhere to go. Our guides to choosing a retaining wall and flagstone vs. pavers for a patio walk through how we make those calls.

Do you take on commercial landscaping work?

Yes. We design and build for residential and commercial properties across Asheville, Buncombe County, and the surrounding mountains, and the services on this page apply to both: stonework and hardscaping, drainage and erosion control, planting design, water features, and outdoor living space. The difference on a commercial site is usually scale, access, and how the space gets used day to day, so we plan the sequencing and the maintenance load around that from the start.

Do you design the landscape as well as build it?

Both, and they are not separate engagements. We start with a consultation where we walk your property and talk through how you actually want to use the space, design around your site's realities (sun, slope, soil, and water), then build it, handling grading, hardscape, and planting in the right order. Because the same company designs and builds, the plan on paper stays connected to the crew making it real, and nothing gets value-engineered out of it behind your back.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in West Asheville and work throughout Asheville, West Asheville, Weaverville, Buncombe County, and the surrounding Western North Carolina mountains. You can see the range in our completed projects, which run from in-town Asheville lots to steeper properties up in Weaverville.
