THE HARDSCAPE: WHAT IT IS 👉
In landscaping, “hardscape” refers to the hard, non-living elements of the design. The hardscape divides the outdoor living space into three planes:
🌾 Base or ground plane—spans the floors and walkways.
🌾Vertical plane—includes structures elevated from the ground, serving as columns, enclosures, raised vantage points and many others. Examples are patio walls, fences, decks, and furniture.
🌾Overhead plane—includes roofing structures like ramadas and pergolas.
