3 Great Hardscape Ideas for the Backyard

Our backyards are our sanctuaries. Many of us love to go out to our backyard and enjoy tending to the garden, laying out by the pool or our outdoor fireplace and just taking the time to relax and unwind from our hectic and stressful schedules. The hardscapes in our backyards play an important role in how we enjoy our backyard environment. If you are considering a backyard renovation for your Denver or Boulder area home, here are 3 hardscape options you may want to consider.

Backyard Patio

The patio is more than just a place to lay muddy shoes, it should have a floor layout that flows and furniture that is fashionable and functional.

Pathways/Walkways

If you have a large landscape that you enjoy taking a stroll through, make it easier on the eyes and on the knees with sturdy pathways and walkways to guide you along.

Retaining Walls

Whether you are using them to separate a space, enclose the garden or create different levels within the landscape, retaining walls are a great option for enhancing aesthetics while performing a much needed function.

If you need help deciding on the best hardscape option to enhance your backyard, contact a designer at Lifescape for more information on hardscapes and our winter construction discount. 303-831-8310

Resolve to have a Better Landscape in 2012

You’ve probably already joined a gym or cleaned out your pantry of all the junk food, but have you started making arrangements to create a better landscape in 2012? Your yard is a very important part of your home. Before anyone steps foot in your house, the landscape is what greets them first. The curb appeal of your landscape matters because it sets the expectation. For a well maintained yard that has a pleasant mix of hardscapes and softscapes that complements the style of your home, it is assumed that the inside of your home is just as lovely and welcoming as the outside. However, if your yard could use some work and looks to be overgrown or under-kept, it may shy people away from coming inside.

If you live in the Denver or Boulder area and want to have a better landscape in 2012, simply contact a designer at Lifescape for more information. 303-831-8310 And don’t forget, Lifescape Associates is offering a winter construction discount if you get a hardscape project constructed between December and February! Hurry and call today to take advantage of these great savings!

Have you checked on your Hardscapes lately?

Hardscapes are the areas of your landscape that use hard materials such as pavers, natural stone, cement, bricks or manufactured blocks that create retaining walls, patios and walkways. Since your hardscapes are exposed to the elements on a daily basis, after some years, depending on the hardscape material, you may begin to see the color losing its luster, cracks and other damage that affects the look of your landscape. In order to keep your landscape looking its best, it is important to use hardscape materials that best meet your needs and the conditions of your landscape.

When choosing your hardscape materials, like natural stone for example, more than likely materials found locally are best. As a matter of fact, many natural stones are quarried in Colorado and there are also many blocks manufactured right here in the state as well. Consult with your landscape architect about what materials are best for your landscape and your aesthetic desires.

Lifescape’s team is ready to plan, design and build landscaping projects of exquisite detail, and high quality materials, at any scale. Just give us a call at 303-831-8310.
