What is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping is an important part of your landscape design and plays a significant role in not only the aesthetic appeal of your home, but in the practical functionality of your property as well. Hardscape designs provide not only definition to your property, but also a true sense of style and organization to all the features and natural settings within your landscaping.
Landscaping is comprised of living and non-living components with the hardscapes being the components that are not living, including such examples as stone retaining walls, brick patios or concrete decks. Those components of a home’s landscaping that are living are referred to as softscapes and include such elements as trees, flowers and lawns to name a few.
