Here are 5 steps you’ll want to follow to create the perfect hardscape for your home.
A successful hardscape is one that makes you comfortable, provides relaxation, and allows you to fully enjoy your property. That’s why we recommend the following tips for designing a hardscape that’s tailored for your specific needs:
- Create balance between the hardscape and landscape. Be sure that everything you include complements and highlights the other.
- Pay attention to drainage. Plan this carefully so that you don’t end up with a swamp in the backyard.
- Include focal points. Trees and shrubs are wonderful landscaping elements in this regard; fountains and rock gardens used as hardscaping are the perfect complements to these.
- Build around a theme. Whether you want ancient Roman, Asian, or modern American, choose elements that fit within that theme and stick to them.
- Play with color. Green grass, red brick pathways, vibrant foliage; whatever your preference, use as many colors from the palette to create a rich and inviting atmosphere.
