thumbnailThe landscape of a home is made up of several components like the patio, fence, deck, lawn, water feature, path and garden. Each one brings its contribution in giving life to the areas outside the house and the overall feel of being settled in a place you call your home. The value of your house will be given a boost when the landscape is well-maintained and selected.

A component of a landscape plan generally known as “hardscape” shall be center of discussion in this section. Structures that are made by man like the path, deck, masonry patio, lighting and etc. are the hardscape of a yard, and they increase the area’s functionality. Also essential to a landscape plan are other living elements, lawns and garden and there will be a short discussion of these elements. You can check the Lawn & Garden category for more detailed and thorough information about other living elements and gardens.
