What is Hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements of an outdoor space. This includes:

  • Stone walkways
  • Rock walls
  • Patios
  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Water fountains
  • Decks
  • Gazebos
  • Pergolas
  • Statues
  • Seating areas
  • And more!

The possibilities are endless when it comes to the custom hardscape features you can incorporate into your commercial landscape design.

Benefits of Custom Hardscaping

Hardscaping is common in outdoor spaces and offers important benefits to commercial properties.

01. Low Maintenance

Unlike softscape features (grass, trees, shrubs, plants, etc.), hardscape elements are low maintenance. They do not require a specific amount of sunlight or regular watering.

Hardscape features need routine cleaning, staining, painting, or other upkeep measures but typically aren’t as labor-intensive to maintain as the living elements on your property. In fact, you may only need to perform maintenance bi-annually, annually, or every few years.

02. Visual Balance

Strategically incorporating hardscape elements helps bring balance to your outdoor space and break up the softscape features of your landscape. Hardscaping does this by adding new textures, different colors, and breaking up the visual aesthetics (e.g., custom landscaped walkways or a stone landscape).

03. Easier to Sell

Buyers will pay a premium for properties with stunning hardscape features that increase functionality and provide an attractive outdoor space for customers. For instance, creating an outdoor seating area gives people a place to rest and take in the beauty of your custom landscaping.

04. Environmentally Friendly

Since most hardscapes are made from natural elements such as wood and stone, they pose no danger to the environment. Furthermore, these features can be beneficial for wildlife. For example, a water fountain provides birds with a place to drink water.

05. Happy Visitors

Custom hardscaping allows you to create an experience for visitors. Custom landscaped walkways provide easy ways for people to navigate the landscape and take in the beauty. Seating areas allow for a moment of quiet to reflect on the beauty. You feel good knowing people enjoy your creation, and you are giving back to the community.
