Today, we will be discussing hardscaping, a crucial part of creating a polished, cohesive landscape to your home.  

What is hardscaping? 

Simply put, hardscaping refers to any man-made, non-living parts of a landscaping job. An easy way to think about it is that landscaping is divided into two parts: softscaping, and hardscaping. Softscapes involve the "soft," natural elements, including bushes, lawns, flowerbeds, and other vegetation, while hardscapes include any of the following: 

The Advantages of Hardscaping

Hardscaping creates a curated, completed feel to a property, and comes with a number of advantages, including: 
  • Elevates landscaping to the next level
    Especially in the modern day, a property without proper hardscaping seems unfinished and a little rougher around the edges. But, taking it beyond just the standard patio and driveway can cultivate an aesthetic that matches the haven your property should be. Whether you add an outdoor kitchen for hosting friends for an old fashioned summer barbeque or simply add decorative concrete curbing and edging to your flower beds, your yard is completely customizable and hardscaping allows your vision to come to life.
  • Enhances curb appeal
    After a long, stressful work day, nothing is more relaxing than pulling into your driveway to a beautiful, curated yard that reflects everything you've worked so hard to build. Whether you choose to install a firepit for the kids in the back or a luxurious water feature in your front yard, curb appeal is not just for others, but for you, too; no one spends as much time on your property than you and your family, and we can help you create a space you can truly cherish. 
  • Increases property value
    If these last couple months have taught us anything, it's that real estate truly is a worthy investment. Installing hardscaping to optimize your yard increases not only the enjoyment you can get out of your hard-earned property, but it also increases resale and property value so that when the times comes to sell, your property has additional features that will boost its value and make it stand out no matter the state of the market at that time. Rather than waiting until it's time to sell, you should consider making improvements today so you can reap the benefits.

Xeriscaping: Low-Maintenance Landscaping with Plants Native to Boise, ID

Image
It’s a well-known fact that Boise--the City of Trees--is a desert; we claim a small piece of  the Great Basin Desert, the only “cold” desert in the United States. If you’ve lived here in the Treasure Valley for very long, you are well aware of our frequent droughts, how frequently we discuss the water levels in our reservoirs, and noticed the low-water plants local to our area, including sage brush, bitterbrush, and arrowleaf balsamroot (those yellow, sunflower-like wildflowers you see during springtime hikes in the foothills). Yet, in Boise proper and into our suburbs, there is a stark contrast to the wild flora: green lawns all summer long are the norm, and few plants frequently used in landscaping are indigenous to Idaho. Today on Bella Vista Landscaping's blog, we'll be discussing a style of landscaping that’s rapidly gaining popularity addresses this difference: xeriscaping.  What is xeriscaping?  Xeriscaping is landscaping focused on low maintenance and low water usage.
