Landscape installation is normally divided into two parts: hardscape and landscape plantings.
Hardscape refers to the placement and construction of permanent features such as patios, walks, retaining walls, and stonework. The materials you choose for your hardscape will determine a large part of your overall style.
Landscape plantings refer to the actual soil and plant material. Choices in plant material also influence landscape style. More importantly, plants are chosen according to their hardiness in your particular zone, each plant's requirement for light and moisture, and how combinations of plants will increase the beauty and value of your home.
