Hardscape
Hardscape refers to the non-living elements of landscaping, such as patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor structures. These features are constructed using durable materials like stone, concrete, brick, and wood, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal to outdoor spaces. Hardscaping enhances the usability of a landscape by creating defined areas for activities, improving accessibility, and managing land elevation changes. It also complements the natural elements of a garden, creating a balanced and cohesive design. Well-designed hardscape elements can significantly increase the value and enjoyment of a property.
