Stone and hardscaping refers to the use of stone, concrete, and other hard materials to create features like patios, walkways, retaining walls, and more. It can be used to add visual interest to a landscape, create functional outdoor spaces, and improve drainage. It also requires very little maintenance, making it a low-effort option for enhancing a landscape. It can also be more cost-effective than using softer materials like mulch or plants.
In addition to the low maintenance and cost-effectiveness, stone and hardscaping can also be very durable and long-lasting. It can withstand the elements, such as rain, snow, and wind, without much wear and tear. It can also be a great option for people with allergies, as it doesn’t release pollen or require mowing, which can trigger allergies. Lastly, it can be a great way to reduce water usage, since it doesn’t require as much watering as a lawn or garden with plants.
