The more work you put into sprucing up your garden area, the better your home’s curb appeal will be. However, don’t just focus all your efforts on landscaping. Hardscaping has a huge impact on how your garden looks and functions as well. The following are a few hardscape tips to keep in mind:
- Build a layered deck – Build a deck around your garden area. This allows you the opportunity to build a pathway, steps and even benches around the garden space. You could even elevate your plants around the deck.
- Build a pergola – A pergola is a fantastic way to add some height to your garden and create a beautiful focal point – and you can grow flowers and plants onto it.
- Use natural stone – Create a pathway using pebbles and large stone steps to make your hardscaping feel more like a natural part of your garden.
- Add a water element – A water element, such as a fountain or a pond, helps add a sense of tranquility to your garden, which is exactly what you should be going for!
