With a little hardscape planning you can create a unique and genuinely imaginative appearance around your property. One of the best things to include is plenty of soft touches to counter the hard edges stone, concrete, and steel provide.
Start by playing with shapes. Instead of using simple squares and rectangles, opt for round pavers or flagstone. These will break up the monotony and look simply marvelous when inset into grassy pathways. That’s right, you can always plant between your hardscape elements to help soften them and make them appear more natural within the landscape.
Of course, it’s always a good idea to play with color. Purples, yellows, reds, and blues always look marvelous when contrasted with the persistent grey, black, and brown of stone. By contrasting these with vibrant colors, you’ll give them a touch of life that will make them stand out beneath the summer sun.
