Practical hardscapes connect spaces for flow and contrast

- Gina Hartoog

Hardscaping elements allow for privacy, define boundaries and provide shelter in the garden. With clever connections, they work together to create an organised space. -While hardscaping remains the backbone of a garden, landscapers are opting for cleaner looks.

"There is a desire for spaces that are more relaxing and calming," says Simon Clements of Simon Clements Garden & Landscape Design. "By minimising visual clutter and creating a sense of openness and flow, designers can create spaces that feel more tranquil and rejuvenating. Elements chosen for the design are often still bold and striking, serving as focal points and drawing attention to specific areas."
