When people think about landscape design, they often consider the plants included in the landscaping project. Trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plant life are critical features in landscaping. However, to truly create a cohesive design there are other essential elements to consider. Hardscaping refers to landscaping elements that are not plant life, such as pavers, steps, walls, and other nonliving decorative elements.
As you consider updating the landscape around your property, examining the area with a holistic view is important. Not only do you want to choose the right plants for the landscape, but you also need to consider other elements to make the landscape usable and visually appealing. A beautiful and functional landscape design often includes hardscaping.
Some useful and beautiful hardscaping elements may include:
- Firepits
- Walls (retaining walls, decorative walls, etc.)
- Paths (paving stones, concrete, stepping stones, etc.)
- Steps
- Patios
- Lighting
