Crafting A Yard With Hardscaping
Every yard is not created equally.
Yes, they all have one of the three conditions of soil (clay, loam, or sand) and some area of grass or plant life to maintain, restore or ideal area for planting.
There is also the view of a wood or iron fence, the neighbor's house or, if the homeowners are lucky, an unobstructed view of the transitioning colors of the horizon from sunrise to sunset and the stars each night.
But, those things can't be improved upon or enjoyed if the area isn't finished: built up or completed with expertly designed hardscaping materials, for the comfort and outdoor enjoyment of the homeowner(s).
The best place to start is with examples of comfortable designs that optimized the space that is available around the actual home.
Any professional hardscaping contractor should be able to present examples of their past work or at least comparable photographs of the styles that he or she can produce and that the homeowner has expressed an interest in.
The actual location of the home, its style and the personality/interests of the homeowners are the greatest influences on the ideal materials that will help the home's exterior to look its best.
They also have an impact on how the designer will sketch the space for the potential of a pool, hot tub, gazebo, fire pit, water fountain, koi pond, or garden of any variety.
There are some homes that are right on a body of water or maybe they family has a pool or water feature in mind that they would like to highlight with a deck, pathway or seating area.
There are some homes that possess large yards with wide-open spaces and so much potential too.
There are homes with varying landscape that have hills, boulders, streams and unique shapes that can present challenges to the potential of the design.
But professional hardscaping contractors can correct drainage concerns, pave over rough soil, and build up great entertaining spaces out of any cement, stone or slab and in any size yard that a homeowner can request.
Landscaping is important but hardscaping materials are what help to transition from indoors to outdoors and reverse.
It can extend sunrooms, kitchens and improving outdoor living and functionality from the driveway to the covered outdoor kitchen in the back.
Any homeowner should be allowed their peace and quiet, use and comfort of their own yard throughout the year.
They should be able to explore their own property and participate in family and social activities so they can enjoy their time with their home features and space surrounded by the creature comforts and loved ones they've always wanted.
