Make your garden a living masterpiece
Hard landscaping refers to the structural makeup of a garden. Elements such as paving, brickwork, timberwork, decking, steps, walls, driveways, drainage and irrigation systems, electrics and lighting, all fall under the scope of hard landscaping. These elements provide a solid foundation for soft landscaping works such as planting, lawns, trees and ponds. Essentially hard landscaping comprises inanimate objects while soft landscaping comprises those elements in a garden which are animate and often living. Aspiring to achieve a balance between these two distinct types of landscaping is the job of a successful garden designer.
What is hard landscaping?
Hard landscaping uses materials to provide solutions. It may use walls to terrace or retain sloping ground. It uses draining systems to prevent the build-up of water or even flooding. Paving to create areas to relax and dine. Block paving to create a durable and flat surface for parking cars on a driveway. Gravel paths to create access between areas. Fencing to define boundary lines or create privacy. In all its uses, hard landscaping employs materials to give balance, scale, form and texture, which ultimately adds interest to a garden.
