What Is Hardscaping?

Exterior remodeling isn’t just for getting new siding or installing a roof replacement. Anything that is in the exterior of your home that you build upon or improve all fall under the category of exterior renovation and remodeling. This includes landscaping projects, particularly, hardscaping. 

If you’re not familiar with hardscaping, you may not be exploring the full potential of what your front and backyard could become. Let our remodeling experts at Home Pro Exteriors explain what hardscaping is and show you the benefits it can provide for your property.

What Is Hardscaping?

Just like roof repair and replacements are all part of general roofing services, hardscaping is also a subcategory of landscaping. Specifically, hardscaping has to do with all the non-living decorative structures and items you place on your yard. This means it does not include your plants and your trees, however, it does include brick patios, pavers, stone walls, and decks. Hardscaping can also include water structures such as fish ponds, pools, and fountains.

Who Can Install Hardscaping?

Small and minor hardscaping elements can be placed and arranged in your yard by yourself. However, for larger projects such as deck construction or fountain installation, you will want to have professional help. Many landscaping and exterior remodeling companies offer a wide selection of hardscaping options for you to choose from. The next time you’re due for a new roof or siding, ask your professional about incorporating hardscaping designs and concepts into your home.

Is Hardscaping Right for You?

The only limiting factor in hardscaping is space. If you have the room for it, hire a deck builder to build you an outdoor living area in your home. If your backyard permits it, explore paving options to define and enhance its looks. Even small yards can have a few hardscaping elements that can elevate its appeal.
