Who We Are

Arlington's Hardscaping Specialists

Arlington's lots are some of the tightest inside Route 128, packed between Massachusetts Avenue, Spy Pond and the Minuteman Bikeway. Every square foot of a backyard or driveway matters here.


Grounds of Nature designs and builds hardscaping specifically for that constraint โ€” patios, walkways and driveways sized to make small Arlington properties feel bigger, without overbuilding or ignoring drainage in a dense town where runoff has nowhere easy to go.

  • Patios, walkways and driveways sized for compact lots
  • Retaining walls built for New England freeze-thaw
  • Fire pits sized for small outdoor spaces
  • Material choices matched to Arlington's older housing stock
  • Licensed, insured and locally trusted

Frequently Asked Questions

Hardscaping in Arlington โ€” FAQs

QCan you fit a patio or walkway on a small Arlington lot?
Yes โ€” most of our Arlington hardscaping work is on compact lots. We design layouts that make the most of tight backyards and short driveways common in Arlington.
QWhat materials work best for Arlington's older homes?
Many Arlington homes are early-20th-century triple-deckers and colonials. We typically recommend brick, bluestone or fieldstone to match that architectural character.
QDo you get permits for hardscaping work in Arlington?
Yes, when required. We handle permitting for retaining walls and larger hardscape installs so the project meets Arlington's building requirements from the start.
QHow long does a typical patio installation take?
Most Arlington patio projects run one to two weeks depending on size and site access, which can be tighter on narrower urban lots.
