Benefits of Adding Hardscapes to your Home’s Landscaping

Landscaping is more than plants, trees, and shrubs, though they’re typically the first elements that come to mind when designing a property’s space. Hardscapes, on the other hand, can often be overlooked when you’re thinking about landscape design, but they’re the perfect addition for many homes.

Hardscapes

Patios. Retaining walls. Fire pits. Fountains. Walkways. These man-made features add both functionality and beauty. If you’ve been on the fence about adding hardscapes to your property, here are a few benefits to consider.

Expand Your Outdoor Living

Hardscaping can add many benefits to your daily life. Having an expanded outdoor living area is a great way to add usable space to your home and yard. Want to have friends and family over but don’t feel like spending time inside? Take the party outdoors! Paver Patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, outdoor lighting and outdoor seating are great way to add entertainment areas year round on those sunny Atlanta days.

Direct Traffic

Give your guests an easy path to your front door, backyard, or other areas within your yard. By creating distinct walkways out of either concrete or pavers are a great way to direct traffic. Not only do these hardscape opportunities serve a useful purpose, they can also add a great aesthetic to your property.

Minimize Maintenance 

The beauty of hardscapes is that they are extremely low maintenance. Unlike greenery in your yard, hardscapes don’t need regular upkeep like pruning, trimming, or watering. The most care and attention they require is an occasional power wash, and you may want to keep an eye out for weeds that form between the cracks. Otherwise, they can usually stay in place for many years after install, freeing up your time to sit back and enjoy the space.

Drainage Opportunities

Hardscapes in your yard can create unique drainage properties. For example, terracing your yard with retaining walls to reduce erosion is a great way to utilize both hardscaping and drainage.

Increase Property Value

Even if you’re not looking to put your home on the market any time soon, investing in proper landscaping now can have a significant return on investment when it’s time to sell. Did you know that on average 80% of home buyers are looking for a great patio when looking for their new home. Installing hardscapes adds more useable acreage to your home and makes the overall space more attractive.

They take pride in what they do and it shows

Absolutely Amazing!! Of the 4 companies we received quotes from they were the only ones who offered additional suggestions that we did not ask for, nor did they upcharge us, to wholistically address the drainage issues. Carlos was patient and informative as he explained the process to my mother. The gentlemen who did the work, were fantastic. You could not tell that they had just dug under the ground and connected pipes in our yard. They cut the grass and then reinstalled it meticulously. No dirt, mud or straw all over the place. Everything placed back exactly as it was before. No visible pipes showing on the lawn. They take pride in what they do and it shows.
