Creating a Custom Hardscape That complements Your Personality

January 12, 2019 by

Many homeowners spend a lot of time perfecting the décor inside their home, ensuring it complements their personality and makes them feel at ease no matter what room they’re in. Why not take that same idea to the outdoors? If you own your home and want to give it that extra pizzazz, consider hardscaping when you come up with your perfect landscape.

What is a Hardscape?

A hardscape is part of your landscape, but consists of non-plant elements. This could include stepping stones, a rock garden, a sculpture, ceramics or a birdhouse. Hardscape elements are often easier to maintain and can add imagination to your yard.

How to Add Your Personality

When it comes to hardscaping, how do you add your personality? When you check out some local hardscape companies, you’ll quickly realize there are a lot of elements with a lot of different styles. Do you like a modern, sophisticated look? How about a zany, colorful scheme? The sky’s the limit and you can almost always find something that’s a non-plant element to work in conjunction with the things you like the most. If you’re unsure what to choose, speak with the professionals. Let them know some things about you, about the way you live and about how you see the world. Chances are they’ll have the perfect idea.

Pulling It All Together

After you have some hardscape elements to use in your outdoor space, pull it all together with your interior design. If you have a color scheme throughout your house, include it in your outdoor space. If you have a floral theme in your dining room, continue that floral theme out onto the patio, using metal flower sculptures to surround the area.

As you can see, it’s easy to create a hardscaping scheme that complements your personality when you know where to start. Contact your local hardscape company to find out what’s available and to learn more about how to create the perfect outdoor space.

Beautifying a Property Through Hardscaping

December 28, 2018 by Dennis Neitzka

If your property needs sprucing up, but you don’t have time to nurture plants and trees, hardscaping might be your ticket to creating an outdoor paradise on your property. Hardscaping is creating a landscape by using non-living items. From walkways to fountains, you can make your home a place of beauty without worrying about constant care.

If you travel a lot for work or you take long vacations, Hardscaping will work for you because maintenance is limited once the items you wish to use are installed. Flower gardens need constant watering and weeding. Trees and shrubs need to be pruned, but hardscaping items, such as gazebos and walkways beautify a home and require limited or no maintenance.

While making a home’s exterior attractive is the purpose of hardscaping, there also are other benefits. When you use hardscaping at your home, you help increase the value of the property. Fences and rock walls improve the look of your yard, but they also create privacy and act as a sound barrier. Stone walkways improve the look of your grounds, but they also make access to your door easier for your guests.

Your neighbors will be attracted to the style a gazebo brings to your home, but your family will enjoy all of the activities that are possible thanks to the added structure. The gazebo gives you the opportunity to enjoy outdoor meals; it also gives you a place for family activities, such as games or family meetings. It even gives you a bit of shelter, if you care to spend some time watching the rain fall.

Just because you don’t want to spend your free time working in the garden or pruning trees doesn’t mean your home’s yards need to look shabby and sterile. Hardscaping is your answer to creating an awesome outdoor environment for you and your family to enjoy.
