Hard Scaping

Hardscaping refers to any man made structure within landscaping design that is made of inanimate materials like gravel, brick, wood, pavers, or stone. Any solid structure in an outdoor area that is not plant life is considered hardscape. Some examples of hardscape features include driveways, patios, fountains, fire pits, and walkways. Conversely, softscaping is the form of landscape design that primarily deals with organic, living material such as trees, shrubs, and flower beds.

'Paving stones can collect moss and become muddy over winter months, so keep them in tip-top condition by using a pressure hose to wash them down after sweeping any excess dirt off. It'll look as good as new.'

Grass can grow brown and patchy during winter, so sow seeds into the ground in the places the lawn is suffering and wait patiently. Once it grows back, mow the grass to a consistent level and keep it maintained. Check the forecast before cutting, as wet grass can damage your lawnmower,' explain Garden Buildings Direct.
