Taking the leap into the hardscape business is a natural progression for landscape contractors. They usually go into business installing softscape, or plants. But over the last several years, clients have asked for much more. They want outdoor living spaces. Contractors have responded by expanding into hardscape. HardScape encompasses every component of the outdoor room—beyond the greenery:

• Retaining and decorative walls
• Lighting for hardscape, landscape and water features
• Stone pathways, fireplaces, walls and patios
• Pavers and cobble drives, terraces and walkways
• Ponds, fountains and waterfalls
• Outdoor kitchens and misting systems

If your product is used in building an outdoor room, it belongs in HardScape Magazine.
