When transforming your outdoor space, it's easy to focus on gardens and lawns, but hardscaping can truly elevate your landscape. Hardscaping includes the non-living elements like pathways, patios, retaining walls and decorative features. These structures offer both form and function, while supporting your greenery and improving the use of your space. If you're considering adding hardscapes to your landscape, here’s how to get started.
Living in Colorado we find ways to enjoy our sunshine all year – even when the temperature doesn’t cooperate. Adding hardscape elements to your landscaping is not only a good way to extend the use of your outdoor area, they’re also water efficient, add contrast and comfort, and are easy to maintain. Firepits in particular are a great option for Northern Colorado residents looking to give their backyard some extra life during long winter months. They add a beautiful focal point and create a cozy space for you and your family to enjoy year-round.
Preparing your plants and structures for the harsh conditions of Colorado winters is necessary to maintain a healthy, happy landscape. With the overnight temperatures dipping down below freezing, protecting your lawn, garden, annual flowers and sprinkler system from the harsh freezes is critical in the upcoming weeks.
Northern Colorado is a great place to start your journey as a gardener. With our sunny and dry climate, you can grow a variety of plants, vegetables and fruits. If you’re new to gardening, here are some tips from the experts at Detailed Landscape. We’ll help you take the first steps.
