FAQsYour Hardscape and Landscape Questions, Answered
1. What is the Difference Between Hard and Soft Landscaping?
Hard landscaping (hardscaping) includes non-living structural elements like patios, retaining walls, walkways, and decks, built with materials such as stone, concrete, and wood.
Soft landscaping (softscaping) involves living elements like grass, trees, plants, and flower beds, which enhance the beauty and natural feel of an outdoor space.
Both work together to create a functional, balanced, and visually appealing landscape.
2. What are Hard Landscaping Materials?
Hard landscaping materials are durable, non-living materials used to build outdoor structures like patios, pathways, retaining walls, and driveways.
Common Hardscaping Materials:
- Stone & Pavers – Natural stone, concrete pavers, flagstone
- Brick & Concrete – Used for patios, walkways, and walls
- Wood & Composite – Decking, pergolas, fences
- Metal – Railings, gates, and decorative accents
- Gravel & Aggregate – Pathways, drainage solutions
These materials provide structure, durability, and functionality in landscaping projects.
3. What do You Put Under Hardscape?
The base layer beneath hardscaping is crucial for stability, drainage, and longevity. The materials used depend on the project but typically include:
Base Materials for Hardscaping:
- Crushed Gravel or Limestone – Provides a solid, drainable foundation for patios, walkways, and driveways.
- Sand – Used for leveling and filling joints between pavers.
- Geotextile Fabric – Prevents weed growth and improves drainage.
- Concrete Slab or Paver Base Panels – Offers extra stability for certain installations.
A proper base ensures durability and prevents shifting, cracking, or sinking over time.
4. What is the Best Material to Use for Landscaping?
The best landscaping material depends on your project type, budget, and maintenance preferences.
Top Landscaping Materials:
- For Hardscaping: Pavers, natural stone, concrete, brick, and wood for patios, walkways, and retaining walls.
- For Softscaping: Sod, mulch, decorative gravel, and drought-resistant plants for gardens and green spaces.
- For Low Maintenance: Composite decking, artificial turf, and xeriscaping with native plants.
Choosing the right materials ensures durability, aesthetics, and long-term value for your outdoor space.
5. Is a Retaining Wall Hardscape?
Yes, a retaining wall is a hardscape feature because it is a non-living structural element built with materials like concrete, stone, brick, or wood. Retaining walls serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, helping to:
- Prevent soil erosion
- Manage water drainage
- Create level areas on sloped landscapes
- Enhance outdoor design with decorative elements
Since it provides durability and structure, a retaining wall is an essential hardscaping component in landscaping projects.
