Q: What are some benefits of hardscaping at
my home?
hardscaping makes so much sense. It extends entertaining and family space, making more of the outdoors usable. A patio with a fire pit and outdoor kitchen provides a functional place to spend quality time outside. Hardscape projects increase property value and the additional living space becomes a selling feature. Studies show 84 percent of buyers look for an outdoor patio when purchasing a home. Driveways, walkways and stone walls are often the first element buyers see. Patios, retaining walls and other hardscapes require little maintenance while reducing landscaping needs and costs. A gorgeous stone patio offers a perfect option for homeowners who want a beautiful yard with less maintenance.
