Enhancing Your Yard with Hardscaping

Hardscaping features are a great way to set your home apart from those in your neighborhood. If you are thinking about replacing your landscaping with hardscaping or just want to accent your flower garden, we have outlined 5 creative ways to enhance your curb appeal with hardscaping features.

WALKWAYS

Designated pathways keep peoples feet where you want them, off your grass! There are many creative ways that you can incorporate hardscaping and walkways into your yard, including pebbles, stones, patio pavers, or bricks. Walkways can be an easy DIY project or you can call the professionals to come in and design something will enhance your property.

PATIOS

Wouldn’t you love to go out back and relax after a day of work on a nice night? Say no more! Having a durable and long-lasting space to put your patio furniture and enjoy the great outdoors is essential to getting the most out of your landscaping. When designing your patio, make sure that you allow plenty of space for walking around and kicking back with a book. For something different, use textured concrete or patio pavers.

RETAINING WALLS

Retaining walls are awesome hardscaping features because they don’t just look beautiful, they also serve a real functional purpose in your yard. Retaining walls can be used to hold flowers and other plantings and also stop erosion from washing away the plants and nutrient-rich topsoil in your yard. Retaining walls can be created from a wide range of creative materials to suit your style.

DRAMATIC FEATURES

Is your yard lacking a centerpiece to add a boost of interest and energy to the space? Add a new hardscaping feature! A stone fireplace, fire pit, fountain, or pond is a great addition that adds curb appeal and value to your yard.

DECKS

If you want something more than a patio, a deck or porch might be the best solution. These hardscaping solutions give you more space and extend your entering area from inside of your home to the outside.
