What is Hardscaping?

Hardscape consists of the non-living elements of landscaping, such as a brick patio, a stone wall, or a wood arbor. Common examples of hardscape materials include concrete, brick, stone, wood, and metal. Hardscape, or hardscaping, can also include water features, like ponds and fountains.

Hardscaping is a critical part of landscape design, providing definition and a sense of organization to natural areas. It can define the use of a space, like a driveway, or lead visitors through different zones, like a gravel path winding through a garden.
