Hardscape Design is Easy!

When you’re developing your outdoor living space, it’s important to keep elements of hardscape in mind. Do you have a slope that needs retaining? Do you want to add a water feature? Do you need to reduce your water bill? Do you want an outdoor space that conducive to entertaining or relaxation? Do you want a rustic or a more polished look?

While keeping these key questions in mind, it’s important to research your materials and procedures. Also, if you’re working with a small space, make sure you only have one key focal element-like a waterfall or dry streambed. Consider the substantial design features that are important to you. If you crave the soothing noise of a water feature, try a pondless waterfall or fountain. Remember to limit your design features. Too many focal elements can be visually competitive and may look tacky.
