Let’s start by looking at what hardscaping involves. Simply put, hardscaping is any element of landscaping that is not living. It could be a wooden fence or a brick wall. Ponds and water features are also regarded as hardscaping. Several different materials can be used during a hardscaping project with some of the more popular ones being wood, stone, metal and brick.
There are several trends in hardscaping that you can look out for in 2019. Here are three of the most popular.
