General Landscape / Hardscape Projects

Hardscape refers to the non-living elements of a landscape, such as paving, retaining walls, steps, water features, and outdoor structures like pergolas and gazebos. These elements are used to create functional and visually pleasing outdoor spaces that complement the natural elements of the landscape.

Hardscape has a variety of benefits in landscape design, including:

1. Durability: Hardscape elements are typically more durable than living elements and require less maintenance over time. They can withstand heavy foot traffic and exposure to the elements, making them a practical choice for high-use areas like patios and walkways.
2. Functionality: Hardscape can be used to create functional outdoor spaces that can be used for a variety of purposes such as entertaining, dining, or relaxing. It can also be used to define different areas within a landscape, such as a seating area or a fire pit.
3. Aesthetics: Hardscape can be used to enhance the overall aesthetic of a landscape by providing visual interest and a sense of structure. It can be used to complement natural elements such as plants and flowers, or to create a bold contrast.
4. Safety: Hardscape elements like paving, steps and retaining walls are important for safety, providing a non-slip surface and preventing erosion or landslides.
5. Low maintenance: Hardscape elements require less maintenance than living elements, and it is relatively easy to keep them clean and in good condition.
6. Value addition: A well-designed hardscape can increase the value of a property by enhancing its curb appeal and making the outdoor spaces more functional and enjoyable.
