hardscaping

Hardscaping refers to the non-plant elements of landscape design, encompassing features like patios, walkways, walls, and other structures made from materials such as stone, brick, concrete, and wood. It provides functional spaces for outdoor activities and enhances the visual appeal of a yard or garden. Hardscaping is essential for creating durable, low-maintenance areas that complement natural landscaping, helping manage rainwater, prevent erosion, and define spaces. Together with softscaping, which includes plants and greenery, hardscaping contributes to a balanced and inviting outdoor environment.
