Hardscapes

When most people think of landscaping, the first thing that comes to mind is a lush green lawn and foliage. However, the flora and fauna need to be balanced against something – which is where hardscaping comes in. Hardscaping is what anchors a landscape and often provides a place for people to enjoy the landscaping.

Paving

Hardscaping elements consist of a number of different components. The most common type of hardscaping is paving. Hardscape contractors use paving for a number of different reasons. Paving covers elements such as patios (covered or uncovered), walkways and sidewalks, or stepping stones. In Florida, paving includes pool decks and the areas around pool decks as well. Concrete and asphalt paving are the best options for heavily-trafficked areas.

In addition to asphalt or concrete, there are paver stones and bricks that are excellent for constructing both decorative and safety-oriented elements. Elements such as retention walls, edging for flower beds, firepits, fireplaces, and barbecue pits look beautiful when they are constructed out of paver stones.

Wood

Another common material for hardscaping is wood. Wooden elements in a yard beautifully highlight the natural landscape. Components such as pagodas, trellises, fences, and gazebos are all made of wood. Additionally, edging for flower beds or paved surfaces are sometimes made of wood for a vintage or rustic feel. In addition to this, many homeowners enjoy having wooden seating elements, such as swings, patio chairs, or benches. Sometimes that seating might even sit on a wooden deck.

Water Elements

One of the benefits of living in Florida is enjoying tropical weather year-round. This allows for some pretty unique water features in hardscaping. Hardscaping water elements include ponds, waterfalls, pools, and hot tubs. Water features are often constructed out of decorative stone and paving to create a smooth interior with a more natural exterior.
