Paver patios and hardscaping in Richland
Hardscaping for Richland homes, from mid-century neighborhoods near the river to newer subdivisions around Badger Mountain.
Richland had 60,560 residents at the 2020 census and sits in Benton County where the Yakima River meets the Columbia. It grew almost overnight in the 1940s as a bedroom community for the Hanford site, and many of its older homes date from that era, while south Richland and the area around Badger Mountain have filled in with newer houses.
What do Richland homeowners ask for?
- Updating older yards with a patio and walkway in place of worn concrete
- Patios and seat walls on sloped lots near Badger Mountain
- Replacing lawn with pavers and drip-watered beds to cut summer watering
- Re-leveling patios and paths that have settled over the years
Cutting summer water use
Richland's water operations office notes that summer water consumption in the city rises almost five-fold, and that drip or soaker irrigation can save up to 60 percent compared with other watering methods. A patio surrounded by drip-irrigated planters uses far less water than the same area in turf. The city also suggests checking for overspray onto sidewalks and driveways, which on pavers can leave white mineral stains.
Older lots
On older properties, mature trees and roots, old sprinkler lines and buried utilities are common. Your contractor should request locates through 811 and plan around roots so new pavers don't get lifted later.
Common questions

Yes. Call with your address and we'll connect you with a contractor that serves it.
Will replacing lawn with a patio cut my water bill?
It usually reduces outdoor watering, since pavers don't need irrigation. How much depends on your yard and sprinkler setup.
