Planning and implementing a well-designed hardscape can transform your backyard into the outdoor oasis you’ve always dreamed of. These features can make your yard more functional and increase your home value. If you're planning to upgrade your property this coming spring or summer, use these ideas for inspiration. 

How to Transform Your Backyard With Hardscapes

1. Outdoor Fireplace

Give your friends and family the perfect place to gather by having an outdoor fireplace or fire pit installed in your backyard. This fixture makes a great addition to any existing deck or patio or can even stand on its own in a grassy area if you prefer a wilder feel. Don’t forget to include seating in your hardscape design.

2. Garden Enhancements

Hardscaping elements can also enhance the beauty of your backyard garden. Add winding paths, benches, pergolas, or water features to make your yard feel like your favorite botanical garden.

3. Dining Area

Make the most of your summer evenings eating under the stars by adding an outdoor dining area to your backyard design. Begin with a patio and consider adding a pergola to give your dining table shelter from inclement weather. If you prefer a less-formal gathering space, you may also consider a Japanese-inspired outdoor tea room with a low table and cushions for seating.
