Few landscape design elements make a bigger impact in beauty and usability of your home’s outdoor spaces than a properly designed landscape lighting system. For the many homeowners throughout the Hudson Valley that have invested in beautiful, complete outdoor living spaces, extending the usability of those patios, walkways, outdoor kitchens, and poolside fireplaces makes perfect sense.
Landscaping in the Hudson Valley means something very different today than it did just a few years ago. Today, it's about complete outdoor living spaces that become a true part of our homes.
Whether it’s a new paver or natural stone patio, a simple fire pit room, or an elaborate poolside oasis, we have really warmed up to the idea that our outdoor living spaces can and should be as warm and inviting as our traditional living rooms and kitchens.

Building an outdoor kitchen is a major investment, requiring detailed layout planning, proper hardscaping, and top-notch appliances. From fully-equipped, high-end plans to the simplest backyard patio, one common factor remains: a grill. Don’t let your time, money, and hard work go to waste with inferior appliances. Invest in a quality grill for your outdoor kitchen to guarantee great BBQs and gatherings for many years.
Custom Trex Deck project by Harmony Hill Landscaping
Not many experiences can beat enjoying the Hudson Valley’s gorgeous scenery from the comfort of an outdoor deck. A top choice of homeowners, Trex decking is known for its unmatched durability and low environmental impact, going beyond what standard wooden boards can offer. Not all Trex decking is the same in the Hudson Valley, however, as the region’s four distinct seasons can cause extreme wear and tear, depending on which product you use.
The design process usually involves selecting a main paver—referred to as the field—and one to three accent pavers for use in borders and inlays. For projects here in the Hudson Valley, a very popular ‘field’ paver is Unilock’s Beacon Hill Flagstone.
