6 Hardscape Projects Your Kids Will Love

Now that the school year has come to a close, parents are looking for fun ways to entertain their kids. The last thing you want is your child bored and staring at a screen all summer. Luckily, there are several outdoor living projects that can get your kids excited to spend time outside. These ideas are also great for parents that like to relax outdoors or even entertain friends and family. Outdoor living and hardscape projects are definitely an investment, but we know that your kids will have a blast and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Fire Pits

Is there anything better than eating a warm s’more by the fire? We don’t think so. A fire pit could be the perfect addition to your outdoor space. Fire pits are good for more than just cooking. Your kids will love singing songs and telling ghost stories. Adults will love this feature as well. Fire pits can create ambiance for a romantic getaway in your own backyard.

Pizza Ovens

Outdoor kitchens provide a great space for fun. The best part about an outdoor kitchen is that you don’t have to worry about the mess! (You can easily hose down any spills.) Pizza ovens are a great way to get your kids involved with meal preparations. They will love putting on the toppings and watching the dough rise.

Water Features

Fountains and ponds are a fantastic addition to any outdoor space. They can create a great focal point in your yard. You can add plants and fish to your water feature for added interest. Your kids will love watching the birds that stop by for a bath or drink.

Pools

We know that a pool is a huge investment. The pools at Hinkle Hardscapes start around $40,000.00, but the price tag comes with hours of entertainment for your children. Plus, you won’t need to book a summer vacation when you have your own private oasis.

(Kid friendly tip: Make sure your pool has a slip proof perimeter. Pavers are a great option.)

Fences

We all want our kids to have fun, but most importantly we want them to be safe. Fences allow children to have independence while their parents have peace of mind. You won’t worry about your kids wandering off during play time. Fences also provide privacy and can protect your belongings.

Garden Beds

Do you want your kids to eat healthier? Let them grow their own veggies! Gardens provide hours of entertainment and can teach your children responsibility. Your kids will love watching their hard work turn into a meal that the whole family can enjoy.

If you want your kids to put down the Ipad, consider an outdoor living space. Give Hinkle Hardscapes a call at (816) 741-2035. We would love to help you create lifelong memories with your family.

The crew and Cody were very reponsive to our needs. They were always on site on time and worked diligently through the patio installation. I would refer them to a friend.

We needed to have some repair work done on our front porch due to some drainage issues. We contacted Hinkle Hardscapes and they were able to create a design that we loved and fix the drainage issue at the same time. We enlarged and created a great outdoor space with a front patio. Ken walked us through different material options so we could make the best decision for our needs. The designer was happy to make changes to their original design to accommodate our elderly limited mobility family members. The construction team was great and left the site clean every day. I would definitely use Hinkle Hardscape again for my hardscaping needs.

We recently had a large scale backyard project completed by Hinkle Hardscapes. From the initial design and several updates to the drawings for the project Hinkle's team was excellent to work with each step of the way. Our project included a large concrete pour to accommodate a hottub on one level and on another level a large concrete patio with a oversized fire pit. Along side of the patio area was a large deck that steps down to the concrete patio. Based on the backyard slopping I had to deal with, the design Hinkle came up with was about the only way I could best utilize my space. During the construction phase of the project, the workers were very focused on the work. All my questions and concerns were quickly responded to and dealt with on a professional level. The quality of the work was very superior and the several months we had to wait to get our project started was very much worth the wait. I highly recommend Hinkle Hardscapes for anyone else's project, they don't cut corners like some contractors do, and it's true, you do get what you pay for. Hinkle Hardscapes is not the cheapest company out there and I don't think that's what they want to be, but if you want the best and are willing to pay more to get your project done, you can't go wrong with Hinkle Hardscapes.

We have been so thrilled with our remodeled patio. We had actually contacted multiple contractors to get bids, and Hinkle Hardscapes was by far the most professional and had the best customer service we dealt with. I could not be happier with the result. We would recommend this company to anyone.

We could not be more pleased with the patio that Hinkle Hardscapes just installed for us. My first impression was the excellent and quick response to any email or question and this continued through the entire project. Secondly, the designer worked with us and had great ideas to enhance what we wanted. Also, any change was never a problem. Once the work started, having been in construction myself, I was doubly impressed with the crew led by Pedro and Cody. They were diligent, super accurate and were always ready to answer any question and make sure they did it just the way we wanted. In fact, the entire crew was hard working, regardless of the cold or the rain and making sure they left the work area neat and in order after the days work. I would highly recommend Hinkle Hardscapes as they will not disappoint.

I LOVE my backyard hardscape project designed and executed by Hinkle. I wanted to extend my patio, add a fire pit and stay within a certain budget. The 3D design came to life last Fall, and I can't wait to use it fully this year. The wait to get on the schedule was well worth the quality and the outdoor entertaining space I have gained.

Hinkle completed a patio/fireplace in my back yard for me. Kind of a tough site with a lot of slope and a lot of rock. They came up with custom design for the site that I think fits extremely well. Extremely pleased with it.

We love our backyard "prairie paradise". Hinkle Hardscapes did an amazing job and we're thrilled with how everything turned out. Up front, Rebecca worked her magic on the computer. She captured our thoughts and ideas on what our dream backyard would look like and created a visual rendition of the plan. Then Cody and his crew transformed that visual into a reality. Our backyard is now our escape - a space to entertain friends and family or just shut out the hustle and bustle and enjoy some peace and quiet. From the stone columns around the deck, to the pool and waterfall, to the pergola and firepit, our backyard is now a space that we can use year round. We highly recommend Hinkle Hardscapes to anyone thinking about a backyard project.

We used Hinkle Hardscapes for a complete patio overhaul (with firepit and seat wall) and we could not be happier. We used them in conjunction with a local deck company and both worked together really well. The design team at Hinkle helped illustrate our vision before they got to work and helped us develop the best setup for our deck and patio needs. The crew itself was excellent. They arrived on time and ready to work each day (even as temperatures dropped in December), and cleaned up each night. The communication with the foreman throughout the project was top notch -- he answered any and all questions we had and provided good insight on certain issues we hadn't thought about. Highly recommend this company!

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and the final product is terrific. They took great pains to make sure my yard was kept in perfect shape while the project was being completed as well. I would recommend Hinkle to anyone looking for honest and professional work.
