As a business owner, you want your property to look as nice as possible, year-round. While your landscape design may improve the look of your property, incorporating hardscaping elements into that design can benefit your business in ways that traditional landscaping does not. The team at Steve Hinesly and Co. in Asheboro, NC, share some of the benefits of hardscaping here.

Creates Designated Walkways

Incorporating hardscape elements into your landscape design allows you to direct foot traffic on your property. With the right design, you can create an easily identifiable walkway, leading customers right to the entrance of your building. Decorative retaining walls and fencing help keep clients out of employee-only areas and reduce the risk of your flowerbeds getting trampled from daily traffic.

Increases Property Value

Whether you’re planning on staying at your location forever or planning on moving to a new building in the next year, hardscaping can boost your business’s property value. Patios, outdoor seating areas, and even retaining walls are all simple additions to your business that make the property more accessible and more usable for future buyers. When you incorporate hardscaping into your exterior landscaping, you’re creating more usable space while enhancing the look of your landscape—without requiring additional maintenance and upkeep.

Corrects Uneven Grades & Slopes

While landscape design will improve the visual appearance of your business, it does not address uneven property grades or help reduce erosion on its own. Incorporating hardscape elements into your landscape design will significantly reduce the risk of erosion destroying your garden beds. If you have sloping areas on your property, retaining walls can help even out the terrain, further enhancing the appearance of your property while also protecting your design from damage due to weather.
