At Schendel Lawn & Landscaping, we specialize in hardscaping projects that do more than improve curb appeal; they create functional, beautiful spaces built for lasting enjoyment. Homeowners in Topeka, Lawrence, and Manhattan trust us to design and install patios, walkways, fire pits, and water features that enhance outdoor living while solving practical challenges like drainage, safety, and space utilization

• Site Evaluation & Visioning
  We assess slope, soil conditions, sun exposure, and existing landscaping to identify opportunities and potential challenges before drafting your plan.
• 3D Conceptual Drawings
  3D drawing capabilities are available for your project; however, we typically begin with a 2D plan as the initial step.
• Material Selection Guidance
  Natural stone, brick, concrete pavers, or permeable materials—we’ll recommend options that fit your style, budget, and maintenance preferences.

A beautifully crafted patio or walkway does more than enhance your outdoor space; it sets the foundation for how you live and move around your property. At Schendel Lawn & Landscape, we combine expert craftsmanship with premium materials to create paver surfaces that are both durable and visually striking. Whether you're entertaining guests or improving curb appeal, our patios and walkways are built to stand the test of time. Every project is designed with precision, style, and long-term performance in mind.

• Precision Excavation & Base Preparation
  Proper compaction and gravel base layers guarantee a level surface that lasts.
• Expert Edge Restraints & Jointing
  We install professional-grade edging and polymeric sand to lock pavers in place, preventing weeds, insect intrusion, and erosion.
• Custom Patterns & Finishes
  Herringbone, basket weave, or random ashlar? Choose a pattern and finish that complements your home’s architecture and landscaping features.

An outdoor kitchen or living area isn’t just a luxury; it’s an extension of your home. Our custom designs blend form and function, giving you a stylish space to cook, gather, and relax outdoors. From built-in grill islands to cozy fire features and shaded pergolas, every element is tailored to your lifestyle and climate. With durable materials and expert craftsmanship, we create inviting spaces built to perform year after year in Kansas weather.

• Built‑In Grill Islands & Counters
  We frame your cooking area in stone or brick, plumb gas lines, and specify durable countertops that stand up to weather and heavy use.
• Fire Features & Seating Walls
  Cozy up around a custom fire pit or fireplace with integrated seating, perfect for cool Kansas evenings.
• Shade Structures & Pergolas
  Extend your living area with pergolas and pergola‑mounted lighting, for UV protection and style.

Retaining walls bring both strength and style to your landscape. Whether you're managing a slope, creating usable space, or adding visual interest, a well-built wall can completely transform your yard. Proper engineering and drainage are key to long-lasting performance, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or elevation changes. These solutions are designed to look great and function flawlessly for years to come.

• Engineered Wall Solutions
  From low‑profile garden walls to tiered seating walls, our retaining structures are both beautiful and built to withstand lateral soil pressure.
• Integrated Drainage Systems
  We incorporate gravel backfill, drain pipes, and other materials to channel water away, protecting both hardscape and landscape beds.
• Planting & Mulch Integration
  Soften stone walls with strategically placed shrubs, perennials, or cascading groundcovers for a natural look.

Bring movement, sound, and visual interest to your landscape with custom water features and artistic hardscape accents. These elements don’t just enhance curb appeal, they create a sense of calm, guide stormwater naturally, and add high-end finishing touches to your outdoor space. Designed to integrate seamlessly with your patio or garden, each feature is crafted to reflect your style while serving a practical purpose.

• Fountains, Waterfalls & Ponds
  Add tranquility with bubbling fountains or naturalistic waterfalls—complete with recirculating pumps and LED feature lighting.
• Dry Riverbeds & Rain Gardens
  Channel stormwater through decorative stone beds that double as striking landscape art and erosion control.
• Planters
  Planters accent your patio or hardscaping for a cohesive, high‑end finish.

The right lighting doesn’t just extend the use of your outdoor space; it transforms it. Thoughtfully placed fixtures can enhance the security of the home, highlight key features, and create an inviting atmosphere long after the sun goes down. From walkways to water features, outdoor lighting brings your landscape to life at night.

• Low‑Voltage Landscape Lighting
  Illuminate pathways, highlight architectural elements, and create mood lighting around patios and water features
