Hardscapes are the grounds of a property and they reflect the personality or tastes of its owner. They can be used to show off an owner's social class, wealth, or even taste in fashion.
Hardscapes can create a sense of awe and wonder in their visitors by turning what might seem like a mundane yard into an enchanted forest full of windy sidewalks and concrete walls. They also can make visitors feel more comfortable at home by creating a sense of comfort with nature.
There are many elements that need to be considered when designing hardscapes such as color, texture, size, shape, height and even plants that grow well in your area. These design elements should be carefully chosen so that your hardscape is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional for you and your family's needs.
