Creating An Outdoor Retreat With Hardscapes

Creating Outdoor Retreats For Relaxation and Entertaining

Bringing the Inside Outside With Walks, Walls, and Patio's . . .Hardscapes In Your Landscape

Patio

Southern Lawns provides a full range of hardscape installations, from the simplest walking path to detailed multilevel patios and walls.

Hardscaping can be one small birdbath in your back garden, or a series of paths in natural stone winding through the woods, crossing bridges over small streams, and ending in a tremendous plaza with fountains. Or anything in between. Nothing is too large or too small!

Hardscaping can turn your yard into an inviting set of places to stroll or sit. It can offer steps down to the dock… a bench under a shady tree… or a smooth path to your front door!

Hardscaping plays a key role in your home's landscape. Besides serving as decorative elements, it creates order, making gardens more usable. Walks welcome and direct people, walls delineate public and private areas and patios create outdoor rooms for entertaining and lounging.

Patios Patio's

No other outdoor structure comes in as many forms as a patio. From a simple slab to a modern, multitier installation, patios expand your living space to the outdoors and add a relaxed dimension to your lifestyle.

Patios provide a place where families can retreat from the pressures of the working world and enjoy a slice of the outdoors. With a patio indulging in an outdoor retreat is simply a matter of stepping out the back door.

Pathways Walks and Pathways

Pathways and walks link areas that you use often such as routes from the front to the back door, to parking spaces, or the vegetable plot. Creative paths lead you through your landscape.

One of the main reasons gardeners and homeowners choose to implement a path or walkway on their lawn or garden is simply to provide better access to hard to reach places such as gardens and flowerbeds. A walkway can prevent inadvertent damage to flowers, vegetables, and other plants by providing a clear-cut path for you to travel through.

Paths and walkways are also perfect for redirecting your family's feet off your manicured lawn. If the best shortcut to the front door happens be straight through the front yard, you might as well create a path for people to walk on. Otherwise, the lawn is going to be destroyed anyway.

Paths and walkways also add a new dynamic to your landscape. Paths and walkways give a calm, welcoming effect to your yard or garden, almost as if to say, "good things await you if you follow this path."

Garden Walls

Garden walls help define outdoor spaces and give order to a landscape. They also have practical benefits, such as providing privacy, acting as a windbreak, and holding back soil to stop erosion or make gardening easier. Or simply defining different areas of the landscape.
