What Is Hardscaping?

Hardscaping is any outdoor landscaping feature that is both hard and moveable. It encompasses several different elements of your yard—including pavers, retaining walls, and even wood arbors—but for the purpose of this article we’re going to stick to stone-based projects. 

Why Does Hardscaping Increase Value?

Adding a patio or deck to your property not only makes your yard look nice, but it increases the liveable spaces around your home. Think about it this way: A brick paver patio can instantly become a dining room when you add a table and some chairs or an extension of your living room with some cozy outdoor furniture and a fire pit. This makes your home more appealing to potential buyers, which raises the value.
