harmony<\/strong>. For example, a stone wall can break up a large area, a water feature adds tranquillity, or a patio can create a dining area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-hardscaping\"><strong>What Is Hardscaping?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hardscaping <\/strong>refers to any \u2018non-live\u2019 components that are part of landscaping. These can include a variety of practical features such as driveways, tiles, decorative stones and outdoor kitchens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve a quality finish, it\u2019s essential to use the best materials and tools to <strong>craft a long-lasting effect <\/strong>to please the customer. It\u2019s important for professional landscapers and hardscapers to understand the land they\u2019re working on and what will be practical for the property, in particular:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Drainage \u2013 to avoid flooding and sinking<\/li><li>Functionality \u2013 how often the area will be used and <strong>how much traffic it will receive <\/strong>to ensure the area doesn\u2019t erode&nbsp;<\/li><li>Climate \u2013 whether the materials will be long-lasting if used in a rainy or damp location or if <strong>the heat of the sun will affect them<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardscaping should be long-lasting, permanent and serve its purpose, whether decorative or practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-hardscraping\"><strong>Types of Hardscaping Services Within Landscaping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-designed landscape incorporates hardscaping. This gives balance and creates a pleasant environment. Various types of hardscaping can add texture and character to a \u2018soft\u2019 landscape (the living element) and include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tiled patios or swimming pool surrounds&nbsp;<\/li><li>Paved driveways<\/li><li>Stone paths<\/li><li>Stone or brick walls<\/li><li>Gazebos<\/li><li>Outdoor kitchens<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of the two connects the overall space and allows <strong>more practical use of outdoor areas.&nbsp;<\/strong>Outdoor tiling is a particularly popular way to transform an outdoor space as it\u2019s durable and comes in many colours and designs. Specialist design and installation can turn a boring concrete area into an <strong>eye-catching zone <\/strong>that complements the theme of the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707\" id=\"hs-cta-a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6786297\/a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"191\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6786297\/a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707.png\" alt=\"New call-to-action\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6786297, 'a0517806-7a4b-49dd-b723-3ffee68f6707', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spring and Autumn Outdoor Tile Maintenance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning outdoor tiles and tiled surfaces is essential to keep them in good condition. <strong>The elements can take their toll <\/strong>on outdoor tiles, causing dirt, mould and staining. A deep clean in the spring, before the outside space is used, and again at the end of the summer will get the tiles <strong>ready for summer barbecues and outdoor living.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A jet washer is ideal to shift the dirt and debris that builds up over the winter months. Or you can use cleaning products designed especially for outdoor tiles that won&#8217;t damage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor living is becoming more popular as people see the patio or garden as an extension of the indoors. Even the smallest garden or office space can benefit from a tiled patio that can be laid in a variety of creative designs (herringbone, square, circular, etc.).&nbsp;<strong>Tile walkways are another hardscaping <\/strong>feature and add structure and style to an outdoor space. Stone tiles or paving stones are ideal to create a walkway through a landscaped zone, either for a residential garden or a public building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoor Kitchens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An outdoor kitchen can add a whole new context to outdoor entertaining. Popular in the Mediterranean, outdoor kitchens <strong>are a practical and stylish addition to homes with a garden. <\/strong>The benefits are clear \u2013 no need to transport dishes from the kitchen, the chance to talk to guests while cooking and added value for the property.&nbsp;An outdoor kitchen should be built on solid foundations and have any relevant planning permission. It can be constructed from several materials \u2013 <strong>brick, wood, stone, cement <\/strong>\u2013 depending on the theme. Non-slip tile flooring and tiled walls add a touch of sophistication to an outdoor kitchen and make it feel like an extra room. The countertops should be made of durable materials that will withstand the elements such as stone or concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/outdoor_kitchens_new-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/outdoor_kitchens_new-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/outdoor_kitchens_new-1-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/outdoor_kitchens_new-1-768x392.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driveways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A new driveway can make a major difference to a property, <strong>in terms of appearance and value. <\/strong>Concrete paving is a popular choice due to the many different colours, shapes and styles.

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Slate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Is used for <strong>paving, walls and even worksurfaces in outdoor kitchens <\/strong>and can be laid as small or large tiles or slabs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of material and the way it\u2019s installed makes a big difference to the aesthetic of the landscape when using hardscaping materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paving: How to Cut and Lay Different Types<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a wide range of paving available to suit all kinds of outdoor landscapes. Paving is more natural looking than tiles and can be cut in a variety of different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-background wp-block-list\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb\"><li><strong>Paving Slabs<\/strong><br>An economical and easy solution for patios, sheds and greenhouse bases. The most common paving slabs are large squares that come in a variety of colours. The best tool for cutting paving slabs is an\u00a0 angle grinder or bridge saw, fitted with a blade designed to cut masonry.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/porcelain-paving-pros-and-cons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Porcelain Paving<\/a><\/strong><br>This form of paving comes in different designs and colours and often with a smooth, non-slip finish. This is <strong>a popular alternative to decking for patios and garden furniture areas<\/strong>. It is best cut with a bridge saw and a specialist porcelain blade.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Block Paving <\/strong><br>The perfect paving for driveways that can combine different style blocks to create interest. This material comes in a wide range of colours and complements most styles of property. An angle\u00a0 grinder or bridge saw can also be used to cut the blocks, or the traditional hammer and chisel method.<\/li><li><strong>Paving Stones<\/strong><br>These are ideal for older properties where the customer wants the outdoor space to complement the style of their home. They can be of different textures and stronger in certain raw materials, depending on where they are quarried from, for example, limestone or granite. <strong>Paving stones are ideal for an outside patio, <\/strong>giving it an authentic feel. Paving stones are best cut with an angle grinder to achieve the required shape.<\/li><li><strong>Flagstones<\/strong><br>Flagstones are heavier than other types of paving and are laid randomly to create a unique design. They offer a variety of colour combinations and shapes and are great for patios and paths. Flagstones can be cut by hand with a hammer and chisel as the cuts don&#8217;t have to be exact. Alternatively, you can use an angle grinder or bridge saw.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tiles: How to Use Them in Landscaping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiles can be used in many ways to landscape a garden and can be a good way to renovate a patio. Outdoor tiles need to be strong and durable to ensure they last for years and can take the wear and tear they\u2019ll undergo. Tiles can be used to blend with the landscape (subtle colours) or create a contrast (Mediterranean tiles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiles are also used as swimming pool surrounds and can be used to cover an outdoor shower wall, giving protection and blending with the style of the garden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more creative space, tiles can be used to cover a feature such as a fountain, well or barbecue surround.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-hardscraping\"><strong>Tools: Which Ones Do You Need for Your Hardscaping Project?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>you\u2019re a professional landscaper or an amateur, having the right tools for the hardscaping part of the project means the job will be much easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-background wp-block-list\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb\"><li><strong>Electric bridge Saw <\/strong><br>A powerful electric saw for fast and accurate cutting is an essential hardscaping&nbsp;tool.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/sections\/drilling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" style=\"color:#000; text-decoration:underline\">Drills<\/a><\/strong><em> <\/em><br>A cordless drill is the best option in terms of safety and convenience.

These are an alternative to permanent fixing with adhesive and grout and offer a flexible and labour-saving solution. They sit on the ground and allow a gap under the flooring, to assist drainage. Perfect for tiles, paving or decking, these supports are simple to install and adjust manually to achieve a flat surface. The flooring is laid on top of the pedestal and the height can be adjusted as necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most time-consuming parts of laying outdoor flooring is creating the frame or base. Adjustable pedestal supports are a time-saving option that can be used in standard or awkward spaces to deliver a professional finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From brick patios to stone pathways and paved driveways, hardscaping gives extra charm to any landscaping project. Carried out the right way with quality materials, hardscaping should last for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446\" id=\"hs-cta-e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6786297\/e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"628\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6786297\/e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446.png\" alt=\"New call-to-action\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6786297, 'e36e1a36-7686-4d85-af28-6f29788e9446', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The combination of landscaping and hardscaping delivers an expertly designed outdoor area for domestic and commercial sites.
