Hardscape generally refers to hard landscape materials that are incorporated into a landscape.This can include paved areas, driveways, retaining walls, sleeper walls, stairs, walkways, and any other landscaping made up of hard wearing materials such as wood, stone, and concrete, as opposed to softscape, the horticultural elements of a landscape.
DURABLE AND CONTEMPORARY STONE DESIGN
Hardscaping allows the construction of durable and strong landscaping features that would otherwise be impossible due to soil erosion, including some that compensate for large amounts of human traffic that would cause wear on bare earth or grass. Choose hardscaping in areas where walking or entertaining outside with frequent traffic may occur.
PREVENT EROSION AND DRAINAGE ISSUES
Proper water absorption and irrigation installed through hard landscaping, coupled with hardened materials that safely move water away from the property can ensure that soil movement is never a problem and that the yard stays a drier, more enjoyable living space, rather than a wet and muddy swamp.
