Question 7

What is the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?

Accepted Answer

Landscaping refers to the living, planted elements of an outdoor environment — trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and turf. Hardscaping refers to non-living constructed elements — patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and water features. Natural Art handles both under one roof, from design through long-term maintenance.
