The hard structural items, such as paths, benches, patios, and outdoor fireplaces, are called hardscape.
The term landscape is typically used to refer to your entire yard or property. But the landscaping refers to the soft or living things, such as trees, shrubs, plants, and flowers. The hard structural items, such as paths, benches, patios, and outdoor fireplaces, are called hardscape.
Types of Hardscape Designs
If you are considering a new design for your front yard, back yard, or commercial property, do not limit yourself to the basics. A hardscaping company can design and construct the ultimate outdoor living space that includes a variety of hardscape features, such as:
- Fencing
- Stone retaining walls
- Stone or gravel walkways
- Arbors and gazebos
- Decks and pergolas
- Fireplaces and firepits
- Tile, flagstone, or brick patios
- Stoops and porches
- Pond installation and other water features
At Legion Pro, we know how to design and build beautiful hardscape areas with materials that work best in your region. If you do a lot of entertaining, we can recommend the perfect layout of patios, benches, and paths. If you have a swimming pool or lovely gardens, we can integrate hardscaping with these existing features.
Why Hardscape Your Yard?
Hardscaping your yard or property is about more than just aesthetics. It serves a purpose and is essential to the overall function of your outdoor space. When laying out the design and choosing your materials, it is necessary to think about how they will impact the flow, efficiency, and look of your landscaping. Stone stairs or paths and retaining walls can assist in leveling off uneven or sloping land. These features can also improve drainage and minimize runoff in areas that tend to get flooded more quickly. Materials like stone, concrete, and rock absorb heat from the sun and can help dry the soil around it. This is beneficial because it can prevent standing water, algae and mildew, and unwanted pests.
When hardscaping is well-designed and implemented correctly, it provides fluidity from the inside to the outside. Building a deck, patio, or outdoor kitchen can produce outdoor amenities that rival those of your indoor space. Also, adding a fire pit or fireplace extends the use of your outdoor living space well into the colder months.
