During the winter months, fire pit hardscaping can be especially beneficial

Landscaping is the term most people are familiar when when it comes to remodeling the space outside of their home in any way. But it goes a bit deeper than that. “Hardscaping” is the term used to refer to hard surfaces being integrated organically into your current landscaping. There are various ways to introduce hardscaping into your property, and all of them will likely increase the value of your home, impress your guests and enhance your curb appeal.

Kinds of Hardscaping

 

Types of hardscaping include retaining walls/borders/curbs, walks/patios, aprons, steps, columns, fire pits and outdoor kitchens. Hardscaping is durable, aesthetically pleasing and requires little to no maintenance in most cases. This time of year, fire pits and outdoor kitchens are especially popular as the winter months are upon us. Hardscaping is assembled using a variety of beautiful stone, clay or brick. These materials can give your property a sleek, rustic, or polished feel depending on how you integrate them. Sometimes integrating tin cans or containers in your garden is a simple way to introduce minor hardscaping that looks rustic and unique.

 

Benefits

 

Aside from increasing home value, hardscaping can provide privacy, shade, shelter and give you a pleasing advantage in curb appeal. In the winter months, your outdoor kitchen or overhang can provide shelter from the elements and be a great place to entertain guests. Steps can make certain spaces on your property easier to access.
