Our team at Kalberer Construction focuses on hardscaping projects. Although hardscaping is an essential part of creating a cohesive and functional outdoor space, many people are unfamiliar with this term.
In this blog, our team would like to take the time to explain what hardscaping is, what it entails, and how our hardscaping services can help enhance your property.
Hardscaping is a landscaping term, and it refers to the elements of a landscaping design made of concrete, stone, brick, or other hard materials. This contrasts with the softscaping elements, which include flowerbeds, trees, and other plants. Hardscaping features are essential for successful landscape designs, as they make it easier to navigate the landscape and keep the various plantings and soil features in place.
There are many popular types of hardscaping features that can be added to residential and commercial properties alike. For instance, adding garden pathways or walkways using pavers is a common hardscaping technique used to create visual interest throughout a yard. Adding hard paths to your landscape can also make it easier to get around your property, especially in wet conditions. Another popular example of hardscaping includes patios and other paved seating areas. If you want to include a place to sit down and relax with friends in your landscape design, we encourage you to call our team to have us create the perfect patio for you.
A third type of hardscaping element is retaining walls, which help keep soil in place on slopes, preventing erosion. However, retaining walls don’t have to be purely functional; they can also act as seating places for guests, elevated flower beds, and more.
