It's not his legal name, but "hardscape" is this guy’s way of life. Hardscape Nate Fuelleman has spent 20+ years helping families get the most out of their backyards and landscape contractors level up their outdoor living installation businesses. He geeks out over garden walls, pavers, steps, and fire features. And why wouldn’t he? A thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted outdoor space can forge friendships, make memories, and heal the soul. Think he’s overselling it? Spend a summer evening on the patio enjoying an oaky Chardonnay or a gooey s'more while listening to the crackle of a flickering fire. You can thank him later.
