Hardscaping

Paths, patios, edging, and structural outdoor features that improve usability and visual order.

Hardscaping means the non-plant parts of a yard: paths, patios, edging and similar structures. It can improve how a yard works and looks, but it is also the costliest and hardest to undo. This category is small for now, with one core guide, and we would rather give you one useful page than pad it.

Where to start

Decide how you want to use the space first with yard planning. Structural work can need permits, so check local rules.
