Hardscaping refers to the hard surfaces you use to traverse and frame the landscaping. It’s a broad term that includes everything from fencing to ornamental rock gardens. Ultimately, the purpose of hardscaping is to provide an anchor for your outdoor living space and to create a defined transition between the interior and exterior of your home.
It can be used to create privacy via fencing and rock walls. It can be used to create comfort beneath gazebos or patios. It can even be used to create security around windows, doors, and fence lines. Equally as important, the more hardscaping you install, the less water you’ll need to use on landscaping. This makes hardscaping a versatile tool you can use for a wide variety of purposes and reasons. The secret to getting it right is to create balance and cohesion. Your hardscaping should be balanced with the landscaping, and it should always match the style and design of your home.
