Hardscaping refers to all the artificial elements in your landscape that add beauty and functionality. A good landscape is perfect for a hardscaping combination of hardscape and softscape features. You need to carefully choose your hardscaping elements to enhance the entire landscape’s value and go well with your softscaping pieces.
Here are some hardscape features you can add to your landscape this year.
Fire pits
One striking hardscaping feature you can add to your landscape is a fire pit. A well-constructed fire pit can give a place for your family to sit outside and enjoy the warmth and incredible ambient lighting. You can relax with your family and friends and enjoy the cozy ambiance of the bonfire every day.
Stone pathways
Pathways are an essential element for any landscape as they allow you to move around your landscape without treading onto the lawn. You can also turn them into a striking landscaping feature by choosing various colored stones and designs.
Retaining walls
As the name suggests, retaining walls can create walls in your landscape to prevent your soil from eroding during rains and storms. They also act as a great privacy screen for your landscape. You can make it an attractive feature by adding ornamental grass, moss, and flowering plants.
Gazebos and pergolas
If you want to add a hardscaping structure that can be utilized in all weathers, a gazebo or a pergola is what you need. They come in a variety of designs and themes. You can choose one to match your landscape or even design your landscape around it. They add elegance to any landscape and improve the space’s functionality by giving a place to sit and take respite from sun or rain.
Decks and patios
If you want to add some old-school charm to your landscape through hardscaping elements, consider adding a deck or patio to your landscape. You can use wood, concrete, stone, or bricks to build your patio or deck, and you can use that outdoor space to entertain guests and enjoy your leisure time.
Fountains
Water features give a distinctive appeal to any landscape, and fountains are one of the best water features you can add to your landscape. Fountains can be the focal point around which you build your entire landscape. They also act as an excellent place for birds and small animals to rest.
Driveways
Driveways are essential for any home; without them, you cannot take your vehicles inside the garage and outside conveniently. However, they can be more than just a path for your cars. You can turn them into a landscape feature by using the right colors and materials.
