What Is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping is often confused with landscaping, but they are not the same thing.
"Landscaping" is all about adding flowers, plants, and trees to your property. On the other hand, "hardscaping" refers to any manmade design or addition (think bricks, stone, and wood) to an outdoor living space. For example, a patio is a type of hardscape.
Hardscapes serve as a great way to enhance your commercial or residential landscape. They provide the space and comfort for your family to swim, grill, eat, lounge, and host gatherings. By complementing the other elements of your yard, a hardscape can also significantly elevate the ambiance.
Types of Hardscapes We Can Build
At Archadeck of Southeast Michigan, we can build a hardscape that makes your dream outdoor space a reality:
- Patios – Much more than a slab of concrete, patios provide a space for hosting parties and lounging outdoors. We can help you choose a design that improves functionality and accentuates your aesthetic.
- Grill surrounds – Adding a grill surround to a patio offers an excellent opportunity for grilling and BBQ. We can make sure your grill surrounds match any masonry or brickwork in your backyard. We can also add a granite countertop to provide extra cooking space.
- Walkways – A walkway or sidewalk made of brick pavers or flagstone is a great way to provide safe passage around your landscape.
- Sitting walls – A sitting wall is a great way to add seating along the perimeter of a patio. In terms of design, sitting walls nicely complement fire pits, grill surrounds, and planters.
- Retaining walls – If your landscape has a steep slope, retaining walls are a great way to support and level the elevated soil. They can help prevent mudslides and flooding during storms and neatly tidy up your landscape.
- Sunrooms – Sunrooms are an extension of your home. With clear floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you will be able to enjoy bright light, green trees, and blue skies without having to deal with the elements.
- Pergolas – A pergola over your patio is a great way to offer sun relief and shade. We can build a free-standing pergola or connect it to the back of your house.
