Hardscape is an extremely important factor in designing an outdoor space – not only to protect your plants and flowers but to provide your yard with dimension and style, as well. Not sure what hardscaping even is? We’ve got you covered.
Hardscaping refers to materials like gravel, rocks, brick, wood, and even larger things like walls, patios, decks, or gazebos that protect your garden and provide your landscaping with focal points and decoration.
If you’re looking to create an outdoor patio space, you might want to look into brick or stone to create a great area to sit out on or to have an outdoor eating or kitchen area around. You can also use stone or gravel to line areas around above-ground pools or ponds to keep the water contained and manageable.
You can also invest in artificial hardscaping materials, like composite or synthetic decking, for use in building decks or outdoor areas. Landscape materials won’t split, rot, mold, or attract insects.
Outside of choosing the right hardscape materials, you’ll also want to look at flowers, plants, or trees to give your yard the luscious look you want – especially if it’s very bare. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, a lot of outdoor plants are easy to take care of and are often pretty affordable. Research which plants you might be interested in and how much care they need before your landscaping project begins.
