Hardscapes provide a way to extend your outdoor living space and add form and function to your landscape. With modern materials and techniques, there are practically no limits to the different types of hardscape elements you can install. To help you get inspired and start your spring projects, here are some unique hardscape ideas that may be the perfect addition to your landscape.
Split-Level Patios
Installing split levels patios is a great solution for sloping yards, but it also adds interest to any landscape. You can use the different levels to create distinct areas. One level can be used to provide seating, while the another level could feature a grill and kitchen area.
Outdoor Kitchens
The North Carolina weather is perfect for cooking outdoors. Instead of just using a grill, you can install a complete outdoor kitchen that supports all your culinary needs. This more permanent fixture will allow you to show off your cooking skills and entertain guests in style.
Water Features
Waterfall, fountains and other water features will take your landscape to the next level. Choose from more natural designs or modern, architectural features that will create a focal point and provide the gentle, relaxing sounds of running water.

Fireplace
A fireplace is another unique hardscape addition that can create a gathering place that can be used throughout most of the year. Not only will it complement your landscape, but the added heat will also allow you to comfortably enjoy your yard even when the weather turns cold.
