Why is Hardscaping Important?

Hardscaping is not just creating an attractive yard, there’s a lot more that benefits from hardscaping. Creating a hardscape around your home can transform the look of your property and make it more usable as well as enjoyable. Below are a few of the benefits that hardscaping can bring to your land or garden.

  • Hardscaping can be used to create easy-to-navigate paths, slopes, and ramps in your yard and you can make your garden accessible without damaging the sod.
  • Stone walls and pavers will work as heat retainers, they absorb heat, which also suits some planting schemes.
  • Driveway hardscaping will provide safe hard standing and a good surface for your vehicle.
  • Leveling a sloping garden is easy with the help of hardscaping. If your lawn is at quite an angle, a hardscaper can introduce a tiered system that will create a series of flat areas.
  • It allows you to reimagine your yard to suit you and your lifestyle. A hardscape installer can help you recreate the area as a large, sociable, outdoor dining spot where you can have a gathering or enjoy some relaxing time with your whole family.

What Does a Hardscape Installer Do?

They mainly take care of all of the built elements of your yard such as driveways, paths, patios, fences, and walls. We offer outstanding services for hardscape Installation in Charlotte NC. We work on landscape features as well, such as fountains. Basically, hardscaping is the outdoor construction work for domestic properties.

At the beginning of the process, hardscape installers prepare the area. To make it stable as well as durable for a long time, the base is made properly by adding a setting bed. This is what the pavers or concrete will lay on top of. They run pipes on this bed and make sure they are leveled and water will be able to flow smoothly. If it’s not done properly, the drainage and runoff issues will cost you more money in the long run. Professional hardscaping installers can handle this work efficiently and can even hardscape the area with complex edges and parameters.

Difference Between Hardscape and Landscape

Some people mix up hardscape with the landscape, hardscape is the built element of your yard and landscape is anything that grows. It is the most basic definition. However, the two elements work together to create a yard that’s both beautiful and functional.

Generally, both require different professionals. The hardscape installer is more like a construction contractor, while the landscaper is a horticulturalist. The Wizard of SOD has been providing both services for years so you don’t have to hire two different companies.

We are specialists in hardscape design in Charlotte NC and have staff who are skilled in hardscaping any area, even that is not favorable for hardscaping. In this type of situation, they give more attention to preparing the land before the final installation of hardscape elements.

Improve the Value of the Property

Imagine a property without a hardscape, does it look the same as a well-paved hardscape area? Of course not. Hardscaping is an attractive feature and offers many appealing options, from a rustic stacked wall to a fully developed outdoor living room and kitchen. All these features will significantly boost the value of your property.

After the hardscape installation, you will get a more pleasing, proportional, and easy-to-maintain space, whether you installed it purely for aesthetic purposes or to configure and organize your outdoor living space. It has been observed that the buyers are also willing to pay a bit more for a property with a good hardscape.
