When we talk about landscaping, people generally only think of plants, trees, grass, shrubs, etc. But landscaping also involves another component called ‘Hardscape.’ Hardscape refers to the inorganic or non-living elements like fencing, walls, driveways, patios, decks or any other kind of stonework.
Adding a well-planned and designed hardscape that complements the rest of the landscape will enhance the aesthetic value of the landscape and provide a balance between the living and nonliving elements of the outdoor space. Moreover, hardscapes do not require as much maintenance as plants and trees. Therefore, homeowners and businesses do not have to worry about additional maintenance tasks.
Patios are some of the most common hardscape installations since they make an excellent extension to any living or outdoor commercial space. For homeowners who are fond of entertaining, a front patio will make a great addition to the property as it will provide a larger space to host. Homeowners who prefer privacy can install a patio in their backyard. Commercial spaces can install arbors for visitors or employees to spend time in.
At Down To Earth Landscape and Irrigation, we install various kinds of hardscapes like retaining walls, walkways, patios and driveways. Though we work with all sorts of materials like asphalt, concrete, brick, flagstone, etc., we only choose materials that will blend in with the rest of the property and give a complete look. Whether a small installation is required or a grand one, we provide every kind of service.
