What is Hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the non-living, man-made elements that are incorporated into a landscape design. These elements include features such as:

Patios
Walkways
Driveways
Retaining walls
Water features like fountains or ponds
Decorative stonework
Patios and terraces
Drainage control features

Hardscaping is an important part of landscape design. It can be for function, beautification, or both. For example, building a retaining wall can reduce erosion and increase useable yard space. Placing boulders can add depth and contrast. Hardscaping helps to define and structure the outdoor space. Landscaping, on the other hand, involves the living. This includes plants and trees.

Some key benefits of incorporating hardscaping into a landscape design include:

Improved outdoor living and entertainment spaces
Enhanced curb appeal and aesthetic appeal
Increased usable square footage of a property
Better drainage and erosion control
Low-maintenance alternatives to grass or other plantings

Hardscaping for Functionality

In the mountainous terrain of Asheville, Fairview, and the greater Buncombe County region, well thought out hardscaping can create functional and enjoyable outdoor spaces while solving common issues. Steep slopes, varied elevations, and unpredictable weather patterns common to Western North Carolina can create problems for homeowners that E.K. Construction is ready to address.

One of the primary functions of hardscaping in mountain landscapes is erosion control. Retaining walls, and strategically placed drainage systems help mitigate soil erosion and prevent unwanted runoff. This not only reduces the wear and tear on your yard, but those living downhill too.

Another common issue faced by new homeowners in WNC is limited yard space because of slope. Creating terraces and building strategically placed retaining walls can increase the usability and value of your property.
