Planning your hardscape is the most important step you’ll take when hiring a contractor to install everything from concrete retaining walls to patios and walkways. The following are some planning tips you that can help guide you as you begin the process.
Start with the overall design. Think big picture first. Determine what elements you want to include and their rough placement within your property. Knowing what you want, and where you want to place it is essential for not only budgeting purposes, but also for creating each feature to the proper scale.
Then, consider the colors and materials you want to use. For continuity, it’s best to select colors and textures that blend with your home’s exterior. This creates a uniform appearance that helps tie everything together. It also allows you to determine which colors you want to use to create accents and focal points. These are important to include as they help create interest within the yard.
