March Transformation Blog: An Overland Park Family’s Backyard

To begin this month’s blog, we want to let everyone know that Hinkle Hardscapes has been approved to continue working throughout the “Stay-at-Home” ordinance. In order to comply with the CDC’s social distancing guidelines, we will now be conducting our design consultations over video chat. The process will remain exactly the same. Your designer will work with you to create the perfect plan and budget for your space; it will just occur over video conference rather than in-person.

On the bright side, quarantining presents the perfect opportunity to begin an outdoor living project. You would be home to oversee construction, you would be upgrading your home to prepare for the impending economic boom, and having a backyard space would offer some reprieve from being stuck inside all day. If you’re ready to get the ball rolling on the yard of your dreams, follow these steps.

Step 1: Give us a call at 816-741-2035 or book an appointment on our website to schedule a free consultation with one of our designers.

Step 2: We’ll discuss your backyard goals over video chat and develop the perfect plan for your space. Our 3D imaging software will create a model of the finished product, so you’ll know exactly what you have to look forward to.

Step 3: Sit back and relax as our team of professionals brings your vision to life.

Backyard Transformation

Needing some inspiration for your makeover? Check out our dramatic transformation of this Overland Park family’s backyard.

When we first visited their property, the vegetation was so overgrown that they couldn’t enjoy their existing patio or gazebo. We removed their old swing set, cleared out some trees and bushes, and leveled the grade of the yard to make room for a new patio with plenty of entertainment features.

For the upper tier underneath the deck, we extended the existing patio using Laffit Rustic Slab pavers in the color Aspen. We matched the seating wall to the grill station and deck posts using a random height stone veneer. Finally, on each corner, two rounded steps lead down to the lower level.

This slate gray stamped-concrete patio is an entertainer’s dream. An LED water feature acts as the centerpiece, separating a Mountain Ridge fire pit with blue accent pieces and open space for patio furniture or a dining table.

Here’s another view of the lower level patio. From this perspective, you can see the built-in bench behind the fire pit. The gazebo sits to the right, providing a shaded sitting area.

A grand patio calls for a grand entryway, and these rough cedar pergolas do just that. The outer walls, as well as the fire pit, are built from anchor blocks in the color Oxford.

Outdoor lighting is the finishing touch, guaranteeing that the patio can be enjoyed day and night.

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.
