Hardscaping can make your front yard or back yard much more exciting, and good hardscaping is definitely a part of any home design worth its salt. However, good hardscaping principles aren’t always easy for homeowners to understand. If you want to spruce up the look of the outside of your home, use these tips from Triad Associates, Inc.
- Don’t be afraid of non-traditional materials. Everything from gravel to stone to cut cement can be used in a hardscaping project. Plan it out and make it work for your home.
- Get some balance in your hardscaping through repetition. If a pathway or other part of your hardscaping feels ‘tacked on,’ try adding repetitive flowers or shrubs to help balance the area out. Repetition is a great way to include otherwise obtrusive colors as well.
- Create rhythm in your hardscaping through the use of multiple elements in the visual plane. For example, boulders on either side of a staircase help to balance the look, as would matching box shrubs or plants. These elements help to keep the eye focused and make your hardscaping feel more natural.
