If you own a commercial business, you want your exterior paving to look as nice as possible. Having a beautiful exterior hardscape design for your business sends a message to everyone who visits.

It leaves an impression and helps to better represent your company. Plain concrete walkways are boring. If you really want to make an impact with your hardscape, you need to get creative and experiment with new commercial hardscape ideas.

Hardscape Design Ideas

There are plenty of ways to do so nowadays, so let’s take a look at 7 commercial hardscape design ideas you can use to make your place of business stand out from the rest.

1. Terraced Slope with Water Features

If you’ve got a sloping hill to work with, having it terraced is the perfect way to make the most of it. By cutting terraces into your sloping land, you can use them to install greenery, flowers, shrubs, or any other feature you’d like. You can also have steps built into it, and even place a water feature like a fountain or lazy river at the bottom.

2. Natural Wood

Natural wood is incredibly versatile and looks good anywhere. If there’s a man-made creek or flowing water of any kind near your business, you can use natural wood to build a beautiful bridge over it.

You can also construct walkways, cable railings, and other features that work well to compliment the nature around them, as opposed to concrete or asphalt which gives off an industrial vibe.

3. Pergolas

Pergolas are perfect as landscaping for commercial businesses because they mostly serve as style pieces. They can provide a bit of shade or an area to sit down under but there is so much stylistic diversity with pergolas that they work best as an aesthetic addition to a hardscaping project.

You can choose from plain white stone pergolas, wooden pergolas, Roman-style pergolas with drapes, vines, and lattices, or any other design you can think up. Pergolas are some of the most versatile hardscaping accessories available.

4. TRUEGRID Permeable Pavers

Plastic permeable pavers from TRUEGRID can be filled with any type of aggregate you choose, and they are the perfect way to implement an eco-friendly design into your hardscaping. They look clean-cut and sleek, and are perfect for building parking lots, walkways, outdoor lounge areas, and more. They can be filled with any color aggregate to compliment your business aesthetic.

TRUEGRID PRO PLUS pavers are durable, low-maintenance, and provide the perfect foundation for adding more features like landscaping, benches, statues, sculptures, and much more.

5. Paver Art

If you’ve got a company brand or logo you want front and center, there’s no better way to display it than by having it implemented in your commercial hardscape design. Permeable stone pavers tend to work well for this type of design because they prevent water from running over the design and help keep it looking fresh.

6. Shade

If you expect plenty of sun as many businesses do, it’s never a bad idea to incorporate some shade into your commercial hardscape design. You can mix and match some of the aforementioned elements such as natural wood and TRUEGRID pavers as pavement.

For the actual shade, you could opt for patio-like structures, basic canvas shading, a pavilion, or anything that’s going to provide enough shade to get comfortable under. It doesn’t hurt to mix in a water feature and center all your seating and shading around that, either.

7. TRUEGRID ROOT Pavers

If you want to transform your grass into hardscaping without actually turning it into hard pavement, you’re in luck. TRUEGRID ROOT pavers are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be installed right over the top of your grass. The grass will grow up through them and can be kept at your desired height.

You could keep it somewhat short to show the pavers beneath or let it grow high enough that it hides the hardscaping. These pavers are durable enough to park and drive on and will prevent your grass from being rutted, torn up, or matted down.

You don’t even need a permit to install these, and much like TRUEGRID PRO PLUS pavers, the installation can be completed in under a day.
