Hardscape

Hard landscaping involves projects that cover the entirety of the yard and that are necessary before soft landscaping features come into play. Hard landscaping alters the foundation of the yard, the “bricks and mortar” so to speak; only when this is completed can the landscaper begin to focus on the softscape features of the yard, such as lawn, floral plantings, trees and shrubs. 

Fire pits

A built-in outdoor fireplace or fire pit made of brick or stone is functional hardscaping that can make your outdoor space more liveable and relaxing.

Stone pathways

Typically made out of materials like natural stone or concrete pavers. They can provide you with access to the different parts of your garden that helps you avoid trampling any of your dirt or getting your feet dirty.

Retaining walls

Load-bearing walls that draw the boundary of a garden at the top of a hill, or the bottom of a hill, effectively damming up dirt and water runoff that would otherwise interfere with growing softscape.

Gazebos and pergolas

Freestanding structures in your outdoor living space like gazebos and pergolas—which are partially-shaded walkways—are forms of hardscaping that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and themes. They provide shade and shelter during outdoor gatherings and make your outdoor space more liveable.

Decks and patios

Structures like wooden decks and patios are another form of hardscaping that can extend living space into an outdoor area. You can use materials like brick or concrete depending on cost and maintenance requirements.

Fountains

Water features like fountains or paved garden streams can provide your backyard with a natural focal point and a peaceful ambience.

Driveways

Driveways provide you with a car path into your property. They can be made from poured concrete, brick, stone, asphalt, or any other sturdy, weather and load-bearing material. A house will often come with a built-in driveway, but some homeowners choose to hardscape new driveways if they decide to expand or renovate after excessive wear.
