Kasia's Creative Spaces
Hardscaping Contractors
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 13, 2023
“Kasia is such a pleasure to work with. She’ll go out of her way to make sure she creates the dream space for her clients, all while staying within the clients budget. That’s what makes her an amazing designer. We loved how methodical, responsive and creative she was. We had a very tight timeline for her but she managed to complete the entire work in about a month. She made the whole redecorating process so stress free for us and made sure we love everything in the space. She was always available to answer questions and made sure we were a part of every design step. We can’t say enough good things about Kasia and her team. Such a talented team who completely transformed our house. Highly recommend her! If you want to create your dream house Kasia is absolutely the designer you need.”

Mike-o Design
Hardscaping Contractors
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2015
“We started with just a kitchen remodel-to take down a wall and open things up. Mike came in with such a vision!! We ended up opening up another wall to make the entire kitchen, living, dining area look bigger and totally fabulous!! The old furniture went out. Mike helped us pick out some spectacular pieces that look awesome in our remodeled areas. He worked with the art work we wanted to accent and made it pop. We absolutely love the end result!!”

“Sharon is SO pleasant to work with. I have known her for about 12 years, and she's the real deal. She exudes confidence, and has the knowledge base to back it up. She can manipulate plant material and hardscape elements on residential, multi-family, and commercial projects with precision. She includes subcontractors (such as us) early in the process, making introductions with the client as well as all of the other professionals involved. Her selection and coordination of subcontractors ensures that we all meet client's expectations. She has a tight grasp on the realities of timeline for the other disciplines as they relate to her own, making the process easier on everyone. I would highly recommend Sharon!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Patty of Studio Mira. Patty helped me design a contemporary bathroom oasis. It's a space that continues to bring a smile to my face every time I walk in. The bathroom had been a small, dark, cold space that you couldn't wait to leave. There was a combined shower tub and a small double vanity. Our desire was to expand the bathroom by using some under utilized space in our master bedroom. We wanted to separate the tub and shower as well as expand our vanity. We were able to achieve this goal and surpass our expectations based on the work Patty did alongside our construction company, Story Hill Renovations. Patty had a great attention to detail. She kept detailed notes as well as detailed plans. Her skills allowed the project to run smoothly even when there were unforeseen bumps along the road. We are truly grateful to Patty of Studio Mira and Tom of Story Hill Renovations for the amazing job they did to give us a stunning bathroom oasis.”

“She recently just did my ten year old sisters room, before she did it my sisters room it was very childish looking and my sister did not like spending much time in her room. However, after she did my sisters room my sister became in love with her room and would not want to leave Lauren did everything we asked for and more and we are all in love with her work”

“Ellen Weiss was contracted to do the landscaping at the Bellevue Big Picture School, in the Bellevue School District. We were on a limited budget, but Ellen Weiss was able to deliver a design and installation that will require very little maintenance, but will deliver continued interest and beauty from season to season. I highly recommend Ellen Weiss Landscape Design.”

Interior Designer or Decorator FAQs
The duration of a hardscaping project can vary widely depending on the projectʼs complexity, size, material availability, and weather conditions. Smaller projects like a simple patio can take a few days to a week, while larger projects like a complete outdoor kitchen or extensive retaining walls can take several weeks to months. An experienced contractor will provide a realistic timeline upfront, factoring in planning, design approvals, and potential unforeseen delays.
Your hardscaping contractor is a valuable resource in selecting materials that are durable, suitable for your climate, and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that the design complements your homeʼs exterior and landscape. They can inform you about the latest trends, such as sustainable and eco-friendly materials, or timeless designs that maintain their appeal. However, trends should be balanced with personal preference and long-term practicality.
Homeowners should clarify their budget, design preferences, and functionality needs. Researching and having inspirational images or a vision board can help communicate your ideas to the contractor effectively. Itʼs also crucial to clear the project area of personal items and, if necessary, secure permits or ensure the contractor handles permit acquisition. Discussing logistics like project access, noise, and dust management upfront can prevent misunderstandings.
Effective communication between homeowners and contractors is key to addressing challenges. Setting clear expectations, having a detailed contract, and establishing regular updates can mitigate issues. Challenges such as weather delays, unexpected ground conditions, or material shortages require flexibility and understanding from both parties. An experienced contractor will manage these challenges professionally, keeping the project on track as much as possible.
When meeting with a potential contractor, inquire about their experience with projects similar to yours, their process from design to completion, timeline and budget estimation, and how they handle unexpected challenges. Itʼs also important to ask for references, certification, insurance details, and how communication will be handled throughout the project. This ensures transparency and sets the foundation for a successful partnership.
Yes, many contractors now offer eco-friendly hardscaping options, such as permeable paving, recycled materials, and locally sourced stones, which reduce environmental impact and can improve your homeʼs sustainability. Discussing these options with your contractor can reveal opportunities to incorporate green practices into your project, from reducing runoff with permeable surfaces to selecting materials that require less energy to produce and transport.
