What are examples of hardscapes?
Hardscapes include any non-living, permanent outdoor features made from hard materials. Common examples are patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, and steps. These structures typically use materials like pavers, natural stone, concrete, or brick to create functional and decorative elements in your landscape.
