Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements of your outdoor space—things like patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and pergolas. These are the structural, “hard” features that help shape and define the layout of your landscape.
Landscaping, on the other hand, includes all the living, growing things—like grass, plants, trees, flowers, and shrubs. It’s what brings color, texture, and natural beauty to your yard.
Think of it this way: hardscaping is the foundation, and landscaping is the flourish. Together, they create a balanced and inviting outdoor space.
