HARD & SOFT LANDSCAPING
Landscape design uses two main elements to create a cohesive appearance. These are soft landscaping and hard landscaping. Both are necessary to make an area not only aesthetically pleasing but functional too. A well-designed landscape blends these two elements seamlessly.
The term hard landscaping refers to the foundations on which outdoor spaces are built and the aesthetic they create. They are the elements of design that lend form and structure to an area.
SERVICES UNDERTAKEN
Hard landscaping most commonly refers to elements such as paths, driveways, drainage systems, electrics, fencing, decking, patios, steps and walls. These elements then provide the base for soft landscaping elements such as grass, plants, and vegetation.
Both can be known collectively as Finishings.
There is a huge variety of hard landscaping available when it comes to designing an outdoor space. Commonly used materials include brick, gravel, rock, concrete, asphalt, timber, metals, and even glass.
Often, these types of materials are available in different colours and variations to allow for creativity in design. They are typically hard-wearing and picked for their resilience in all types of weather.
