What is Hardscape Construction?
Typical small-scale hardscaping examples include patios and sidewalks. Retaining walls are often used to create boundaries between hardscapes and landscaping features or softscapes. From an urban planning perspective, hardscapes can include very large features, such as paved roads, traffic circles, or traffic islands. Most artificial water features are technically hardscapes because they require a barrier to retain the water instead of letting it drain into the surrounding soil.
From an aesthetic perspective, hardscaping allows workers to erect landscaping features that would otherwise be impossible due to soil erosion or that compensate for large amounts of human traffic that would cause wear on bare earth or grass.
Hardscape means any hard surface landscape such as a patio, driveway, retaining wall, or any other hard surface landscaping made up of hardscape materials such as stone, concrete, etc., as opposed to soft landscaping, which is grass, bark, and other such items.
What is the Difference Between Landscapes and Hardscapes?
Landscaping for most homeowners also includes a focus on softscaping, which is the more living, natural, and “softer” materials. These include those materials that enhance outdoor living, such as grass, flowers, trees, mulch, and decorative options.
Hardscape and landscape materials are both commonly used to create outdoor projects. We offer a wide variety of hardscape supplies to help you transform your residential or commercial space. Hardscape materials are more durable products, including concrete, natural stone, pavers, bricks, and foundational elements to your space. You may use these materials to build structures like outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, and fireplaces.
