Curve your hardscape to match the natural lines of your environment.
In our last post we discussed some common things to consider when planning out your new hardscape. Now that you have planned out the future of your property as much as you can, remember to balance the style and materials you use.
Try to create a balanced environment that flows with a natural beauty. Some people like the idea of having a boulder as a center piece to the yard, but if it doesn’t look like a naturally occurring element, it can really detract from the style you are trying to convey.
The HGTV designers also recommend softer curves through your hardscaping instead of just plopping down L-shaped sidewalks. They recommend considering the natural lines of the landscape before placing the first paver.
Texture is also an important consideration. Mix a few colors and materials to provide a well-defined style. Choose materials that will complement your home’s style.
