Types of Hardscapes



Hardscapes are a great way to add some more personality to 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
Both functional and beautiful, retaining walls can separate 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.

Walkways
Walkways are a great way to get around your yard and garden. 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 an extra element of beauty. Walkways are popular hardscapes for many different types of homes.
