Trends with Hardscaping
We are seeing more and more the use of hardscaping in creating lasting outdoor living spaces. Specifically, outdoor kitchens are being constructed with hardscaping elements, such as pavers and other stone or brick elements. More neutral tones in these natural materials are also evident, with taupe and beige outpacing colors like grey or white. Hardscaping also provides a good material for communal areas such as fire pits.
Vertical hardscaping is providing new ways to look at the use of these materials, as living walls and other such details provide for privacy without the harshness of the hardscaping. The need for permanent elements like seating are balanced out with the desire for greenery and colors. Hardscaping is also used to create containers that softscaping elements will reside in.
Incorporating Smart Home Options
Hardscaping also provides options for adding elements of your smart home into the outdoors. Whether that’s with hidden speakers to provide for music, lighting elements for the dark hours, security cameras, or other elements, hardscaping provides the solid foundation for many of these options to have a home. And while stone and brick are well-know hardscaping elements, metal features can also be incorporated for visual appeal and structure.
