About Us
At DK Hardscapes, landscaping isn’t just work—it’s tradition. As a second-generation landscaper, I grew up learning the craft firsthand, gaining not only the technical skills but also the eye for detail and pride that comes with creating outdoor spaces.
Unlike larger companies that juggle multiple crews, we are a single-crew operation. That means I’m personally on every project, from start to finish, you can trust that an expert is guiding every step—no shortcuts, no inexperienced hands, just proven craftsmanship.
Our specialties include:
Rock & Veneer Walls, Timber Walls, Flagstone Patios & Fire Features, Landscape design, Tree work, and Artificial Turf Installations.
Every project is built to fit seamlessly into Western North Carolina’s natural beauty while offering long-term durability. Whether you want the elegance of stone, the practicality of timber, or the convenience of modern turf, you’ll get a finished product that combines artistry, durability, and function.
At DK Hardscapes, you don’t just get a crew—you get personal expertise, unmatched skill, and a commitment to excellence that’s built into every project.

What is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping is the art and science of building the permanent, non-living features of your outdoor space. Unlike landscaping, which focuses on plants, trees, and lawns, hardscaping uses stone, wood, concrete, and other durable materials to create the foundation and structure of your yard.
Think of hardscaping as the backbone of your outdoor living area. It includes projects like:
-
Patios & Walkways – spaces for gathering, entertaining, and moving through your yard.
-
Retaining Walls – functional and decorative structures that manage slopes, prevent erosion, and add style.
-
Steps & Edging – natural transitions that bring structure and flow to your landscape.
-
Water Features & Fire Pits – focal points that add atmosphere and enjoyment.
-
Turf & Rock Gardens – low-maintenance solutions for beauty and function.
At DK Hardscapes, we specialize in transforming raw spaces into beautiful, functional outdoor environments. With our second-generation expertise, every project is built with precision, craftsmanship, and the durability to stand up to the mountain climate here in Western North Carolina.
👉 Hardscaping isn’t just about looks — it’s about creating outdoor spaces that last a lifetime.

Meet The Owners
Asheville native and Charles D. Owen graduate. As a proud father of four, I grew up working in my parents’ nursery and landscaping business, where I discovered my passion for building outdoor spaces that last. Today, that passion lives on through DK Hardscapes.
When I’m not on the job, you’ll find me cheering on the Carolina Panthers or spending time outdoors with my family. My wife, Karry Craig, also an Owen graduate, loves supporting our kids at sporting events and enjoying the mountain lifestyle we’re blessed to call home.
At DK Hardscapes, we bring family values, local roots, and a commitment to quality into every project.
