Hardscaping Frequently Asked Questions
What is hardscaping?
Hardscaping refers to any non-living elements of your home’s outdoor design –– from patios and benches to swimming pools and outdoor kitchens. Hardscaping organizes, defines, and beautifies your home’s exterior space with both functional and decorative additions. Installation of hardscaping can be difficult. Due to the hard work involved, we recommend scheduling hardscape projects during the spring or fall seasons.
What are some examples of hardscaping?
Some examples of hardscaping include:
- Decks
- Patios
- Retaining walls
- Walkways or sidewalks
- Driveways
- Benches
- Gravel paths
- Pavers
- Arbors or gazebos
- Pergolas
- Water fountains
- Steps
- Fire pits or fireplaces
- Porches
- Borders and edging
- Landings
- Outdoor showers, kitchens, & lighting
- Sheds and storage
- Facades
What's the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?
Hardscaping refers to all of the non-living elements in your design such as decks and patios, driveways, exterior hardware and facades, gravel, fences and gates, outdoor lighting, retaining walls, sheds and storage, and swimming pools.
Landscaping, on the other hand, refers to all of the living elements in your design such as grass, plants, trees, and flowers.
When combined, both hardscaping and landscaping allow you to develop and curate a cohesive theme through style, colours, materials, and furniture in your outdoor living space. As professional landscape designers, we recommend homeowners plan the whole outdoor space design before starting to build. Take a look at some of the landscaping projects in Calgary and Sherwood Park that were completed by our team of outdoor design experts.
What is exterior hardscape?
Exterior hardscape refers to the decorative hardware and facade of your home that can make or break your home’s curb appeal. It covers both the macro and micro aspects of your outdoor space.
Examples of these decorative additions include house numbers, doorbells, latches, hinges, knockers, mailboxes, cable railings, spigots for garden hoses, paint colours, roof tiles, window details, doormats, wooden shutters, entryway lighting, outdoor wall lights, facade facelifts, wood siding, roofs, window boxes, ribbon driveways, and vines and climbers.

How much does hardscaping cost?
Hardscaping costs may vary significantly depending on the features you want to have, how those features compliment your lifestyle, and the size of your property.
The average costs for landscaping, including hardscaping, in Canada, are between $1,809 to $6,901 for smaller individual projects and over $20,000 for larger, more complex projects covering a larger area. Some sources suggest budgeting about 5 to 10 percent of your home's overall value on landscaping, and subsequently, hardscaping.
However, choosing the wrong landscaping company may easily cost you more money than necessary while failing to meet your expectations. At Newhart Landscaping, we believe that regardless of your budget, there is a hardscaping plan for you. Contact us to get a quote!
