Landscaping and hardscaping in Mars
Mars is a small borough surrounded by Adams Township, and work here spans the two patterns either side of it — older borough housing on compact lots, and newer property on the township edges.
On the borough lots the rear gardens are small enough that dividing the space well is the whole job. A patio that is slightly too big leaves a lawn that is useless; slightly too small and the furniture does not fit.
The brief leans toward outdoor living. Paver patios, fire pits and seating that stays out, rather than planting schemes alone.
Underneath it is the same Butler County clay as everywhere else, which means the base and the drainage decide how long any of it lasts.

Garden design for
Mars borough lots
On a compact rear garden the proportions are the design. We measure the furniture before we size the patio, because that is what actually decides it.

- Hard and soft areas divided deliberately

Questions we get from Mars
How big should my patio be?
Measured against the furniture you actually own. That is the only reliable way to size it.
Can a fire pit be added later?
Yes, but building it in from the start is cheaper and looks better.
Do you work in Adams Township too?
Yes, it surrounds the borough and has its own page.
Why does my lawn hold water?
Clay subsoil plus how the lot was graded. Both are fixable.
