A hardscape can add an unmatched quality to a home or business. These features produce areas that can be either functional or purely decorative in nature. The key to making a hardscape work is in the planning.
Planning a Hardscape
- Look at the whole picture. Even if you are only planning a walkway or patio for now, look at the entire area. Create a plan or idea that includes the entire area, not just the specific location or feature that you currently want completed. This step can help to prevent conflicting elements in the future.
- As you are planning take into important considerations such as drainage. You can make your outdoor retreat eco and wallet friendly by devising methods to either hold or create runoff spots depending on the needs of your region.
- Use an artistic eye. As you create your design, consider a focal point, textures, colors and balanced size in the elements you desire in your hardscape.
Our professionals at Triad Associates will use the necessary technical knowledge blended with your hardscape ideas to produce a truly amazing retreat which will last for years to come.
