There are many factors to consider when you are planning a backyard renovation. From choosing what you want added to breathe more life into your backyard to how you want it structured, a backyard renovation can involve both landscaping and hardscaping. What is the difference between the two though? Fortunately, the experts here at ClifRock will go over the differences between landscaping and hardscaping as well as the benefits that they provide for your backyard!
What Is Landscaping?
Landscaping refers to the softer, living elements of your backyard renovation. Things such as grass, trees, and plants add a more relaxing and subtle touch to your backyard when you plant them while providing a variety of benefits for your backyard. With landscaping, you can expect benefits such as:
- Improving Your Home’s Curb Appeal
- Add Value To Your Home
- Transform Your Backyard
What Is Hardscaping?
In contrast to landscaping, hardscaping refers to the harder, more non-living elements of your backyard. Some of the more commonly seen hardscaping elements are rocks, concrete, bricks, stone, and more to form things such as decks and walkways. Hardscaping backyard, when implemented properly, can provide you with benefits such as:
- More Structure
- Luxurious Touch
- Functionality
How Are They Used Together?
Implementing landscaping and hardscaping together can be a complex process, but when done properly, can provide you with a vastly improved backyard! Hardscaping on its own can look plain, but when combined with landscaping, your backyard will look much more pleasing to the eye. Compared to just havng plants in your backyard with nothing around, adding some hardscaping elements such as rocks and stones can make quite the difference. That can be seen with our outdoor kitchens and fire features here at ClifRock.
