Before you start allocating dollars to a hardscape project, you’ll first want to determine if it’s the right fit for your home. We’ve found homeowners receive many benefits of building a hardscape.
First, building a hardscape on your property can reduce the amount of landscape maintenance you require, and therefore decrease your overall landscaping costs. For example, replacing lawn with hardscape cuts down — or even eliminates — lawn care tasks such as aeration, seeding, fertilization and regular lawn mowing.
Beyond the practical benefits of installing a new hardscape, such as reducing maintenance costs, they can also greatly boost your enjoyment of your outdoor space. A new patio installation offers you the chance to create a welcoming living space outdoors, while hardscape around a swimming pool can be a beautiful backdrop for a summertime party with friends and family.
Another especially important element of building a hardscape at your home: It can significantly boost your home’s curb appeal, thereby adding to your home’s property value.
