"Over the years, we mostly put our energy into the plants because that felt like something we could do by ourselves. Little by little, as we had a little bit of money to spend, we would plant."
"We decided to bring our yard to the finish line. We were traveling less than ever, so we wanted to make our backyard feel like a vacation getaway."
"Goodbye, old brick. Hello, elevated deck and fire pit plus pavers. The new deck is elevated and helps to create distinct zones."
Hardscaping involves using non-plant materials like rocks, gravel, and pavers in landscape design. Homeowners Jamie and Michael Shaw focused on hardscaping to transform their yard into a vacation-like retreat. They collaborated with Yardzen to design an elevated deck and fire pit area, replacing old brick structures. This project allowed them to create distinct zones in their backyard, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Their journey reflects a shift from plant-centric landscaping to a balanced approach that includes hardscaping elements.
