Looking to improve the curb appeal of your backyard? Shrubbery and flowers are the usual choices to beautify landscape designs, but additional concrete elements will add versatility and functionality. If you’re unsure about which type of concrete structure is right for your exterior, check out the following ideas.

3 Types of Concrete Elements for Landscape Design

1. Pool Deck

If you have a swimming pool, build a concrete deck to customize the aesthetic appearance of your pool. For example, stamped concrete can mimic the look of other materials like wood and stone. Concrete also reflects the sun’s heat, making walking around easier on your feet.

2. Patio

Building a concrete patio will increase the value of your property by extending your outdoor living space. It’s a convenient space for throwing barbecues and parties during the summer as well as a quiet area to sit outside and enjoy your landscape design. Patios are also easy to maintain; they only require routine sweeping to get rid of debris.

3. Retention Wall

A concrete retention wall is designed to hold or support a slope of soil that would otherwise collapse. They can also decrease the chances of flooding by diverting water away from your home. In addition to functionality, retaining walls will add a rustic quality to your property and elevate your plant life.
