A hardscape is the man-made portion of your landscape that uses hard, non-living materials. It serves to provide definition, organization and extended functionality to the exterior area around a residential, commercial or public property. Some examples are decorative structures such as statues, fountains and statues and practical structures such as fences, seating areas and benches. Ideally, the practical and decorative purposes are combined to get exquisite results for elements such as patios, outdoor kitchens and arbors.

Mulching is applying an additional layer on your soil. This layer is placed around bare ground and plants. This barrier can be made using decomposing organic materials such as bark, leaves, grass clipping, plant material, and wood chippings. It can also be made using inorganic matter such as rubber mats, chips, pebbles, gravel mulch and crushed rock. Organic costs less than synthetic mulches and fertilizes the soil. That means it also deteriorates and therefore needs to be replaced occasionally. Inorganic mulches will provide soil protection and plant preservation for your garden. They, however, do not break down and enrich your soil.

Landscaping is the practice of enhancing the outdoor area surrounding a residential or commercial property or around a public space. There are two major components of landscaping – hardscaping and softscaping. Hardscaping It refers to all the heavy, non-living materials installed in a landscape. Some examples are water fountains, patios, benches, firepits, fences and the list goes on. Softscaping It is the nurturing practice of installing and caring for grass, plants, trees, flowers and the soil around them. So, if you need to install a patio or a retaining wall, that would be hardscaping. Sod installation and soil aeration are softscaping jobs, although they are usually referred to as simply landscaping. Usually, hardscaping requires more work and resources than landscaping, but it also depends on the type of work done and on how big the surface serviced is.

Landscape edging is creating an area around different landscaping features such as garden beds or flower gardens meant to define and delimit those areas. It can have both an aesthetic and a practical use, such as keeping the mulch in place or defining an area as not meant for walking on it. Landscape edging materials range from brick and stone to concrete and wood and it can give your property an absolutely stunning look.
