When you hire a company that offers landscaping services, you should know what type of hardscaping they can provide. Here are some of the most common kinds of hardscaping and what differentiates them:
Paving
This is when gravel, crushed stone, or concrete is used to create a path, patio, driveway, or walkway.
Bricks
Bricks can be customized in a wide variety of patterns, colors, and sizes. Most are offered in six-inch and eight-inch sizes and are often used for pathways, driveways, and patios. The six-inch and eight-inch sizes of bricks can also be used for flooring. Custom brickwork can be done to match any home or landscape design theme.
Limestone
Limestone is made of fossilized marine organisms. It is a soft stone and is often used in walkways, curbs, patio pavers, and alleys. Limestone is available in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and shapes as well as being cut and unpacked in masonry yards.
Pine
Pine can be used for flooring, pathways, and driveways. The common kinds of pine used in landscaping are rot-resistant and come in two basic kinds: softwood and hardwood. The softwood types are easier to cut, however, are more prone to log damage and are often used for driveways and pathways. Hardwood is harder to cut, but is more resistant to rot and decay and is often used as flooring.
