Hardscape Design & Installation in Davie, FL
Custom walkways, patios, stone walls, and outdoor living spaces in travertine and natural stone — built for South Florida estates by Botanical Designs.
The architecture of your landscape
Hardscape is what gives a landscape its structure — the walkways that guide you through the garden, the patios that turn a backyard into a room, the stone walls that define a space. Done right, these elements feel inevitable. Done wrong, they feel like afterthoughts stapled onto the property.
We specialize in hardscape that integrates with the landscape design, not hardscape that arrives in a kit. Travertine patios, natural stone walkways, dry-stacked and cemented walls, custom edging, outdoor kitchen surrounds, and fire features — all built with attention to base prep, drainage, and joint detail that determines whether the work holds up to South Florida's climate.
The goal is simple: stone and masonry that looks better in ten years than it did the day it was installed.
Base work, stone work, finish work
Four phases that build hardscape to last, not hardscape that looks done until the first rainy season.
Design & Layout
Pattern, material selection, and integration with the surrounding landscape. We mock up layouts on-site before cutting stone.
Excavation & Base
Proper depth excavation, compacted base layers, and drainage planning. This phase decides whether the hardscape settles or holds.
Installation
Stone cut and set with consistent joints, proper slopes, and clean transitions to planted areas and existing structures.
Finishing
Jointing, sealing, edging, and final clean-up. We leave the site ready to be lived in.
Hardscape that holds its line for decades
Most hardscape failures — settling, shifting, joint rot — trace back to the invisible work under the stone. We prioritize base prep and drainage because that's what determines longevity.
- Premium materials: travertine, coral stone, natural flagstone, and precision-cut pavers.
- Engineered base layers sized to the material and the expected load.
- Slope and drainage planning built in from the start — no standing water, no erosion.
- Clean transitions into planted beds, pool decks, and existing architecture.
- Tight, consistent joints and proper sealing for South Florida's humidity.
- Integrated lighting and low-voltage rough-ins where appropriate.

Hardscape questions answered
What materials do you work with?
Travertine, coral stone, natural flagstone, cut limestone, brick, and precision-cut concrete pavers. We match material to the architectural style of the home and the intended use of the space.
How long does a hardscape project take?
Walkways and smaller patios complete in one to two weeks. Larger installations with walls, outdoor kitchens, or integrated lighting can run three to six weeks. Firm timelines are given before we start.
Can you tie hardscape into an existing pool deck or driveway?
Yes. Clean transitions into existing stonework, concrete, or pool decks are part of our craft. We match grade, pattern, and joint lines wherever possible.
Do you handle outdoor kitchens and fire features?
Yes. Stone-clad outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and fire features integrated into hardscape installations are a regular part of our work.
How do you prevent settling and shifting?
Proper base preparation. We excavate to the correct depth, install engineered base layers, compact in lifts, and plan for drainage before any stone gets set. It's the invisible work that makes the visible work last.
