your yard. And not only that, they can be functional as well. Minneapolis
hardscapes are especially pleasing to the eye thanks to the fact that we
live in one of the most beautiful areas in the country. So what are some
popular hardscapes? Here is a brief rundown of the types we install the most
often.
Outdoor Fire Pits
Outdoor fire pits are a great way to entertain your family
and friends. Plus, they can extend the amount of use and enjoyment you get out
of your backyard. A fire pit is a nice way to stay warm and cozy even when the
temperatures outside are a bit on the chilly side. Not only that, you can also
roast marshmallows or just stare into the flames and relax. These types of
hardscapes are a great focal point and they can really add that “wow” factor to
your landscaping.
Retaining Walls

areas of your garden or landscaping, they can hold up soil at varying elevations
of your yard or both. Retaining walls can be made with a variety of stones, and
they can be made into a wide variety of designs too.
Patios
Patios will generally be level with the ground and can be
made out of a variety of stone or bricks. They offer a flat and paved surface
for outdoor furniture, and they are excellent for entertaining guests or for
relaxing on your own. These types of hardscapes are incredibly popular, and
they make a lovely addition to anyone’s home and landscaping. They are also a
great way to enjoy the great outdoors without leaving the comfort of your own
home.

They help you and your guests walk around and through your yard by offering a
firm and flat path. They can enhance the safety of your yard while also adding
