Hardscaping vs. Softscaping

When it comes to landscaping, there are two halves to the one whole: hardscape and softscape. While both may be necessary for your yard, they are two different aspects of landscaping.

What is the difference between hardscape and landscape?

Hardscape refers to the heavier items used in landscaping: stones, rocks, patios, and driveways. Softscape refers to the softer parts, really just everything else: soil, plants, flowers, and color scheme.

• • Hardscaping: these are the elements that are going to stay the same for years like stone pathways and concrete driveways.

• Softscaping: these are the elements that are going to change as they mature through the years like flowers and plants.

A hardscape and masonry project should flow with the rest of the landscaping. The pieces and decisions made should make sense for the style of your home, your yard, the overall concept. There is a balance to strike between the hardscape items like a brick pathway and the softer items like a flower garden running alongside the pathway. Having a hardscape and design team that will work with you is important. MDM Landscapes have years of experience with landscaping, including both soft and hardscapes.

What is a Hardscape Project?

Hardscape projects can include any kind of decorative or structural landscaping including

driveways, patios, fences, and benches. Most of these projects will involve things like stone, brick, wood, and/or metal, but they can even include things like water. A hardscape project can be just about anything and MDM Landscapes have the skills and tools to help you.

Hardscape creations & ideas:

• • Stone retaining wall

• • Tile patios

• • Concrete patios

• • Wooden arbors or gazebos

• Stone walkways

There can be a lot of imagination with hardscaping. A lot of the designing can include hardscape with rocks, but there are many other variations. Not everything has to be quite so hard. A design can involve different elements, including water. Water features like clay pot fountains, ponds, and waterfalls are very popular. They help to add a soothing and natural element to something typically very hard, even though they may seem counterintuitive. Hardscape and masonry projects like this may require additional plumbing repair if an inexperienced team attempted to create those projects. For quality hardscape and design, MDM Landscapes are the only team to consider. Call us today to schedule an appointment, 817-396-0125.

Hardscaping Elements

As noted before, there are many elements to hardscaping. When choosing hardscape and masonry, it’s important to make sure that the pieces works together with the rest of the landscaping. Adding a stone retaining wall where one is not needed is not only costly but can possibly lower your resale value later on.
