Austin has numerous neighborhoods that have their own unique charm. Yet, Barton Creek and Westlake are two of the most prestigious in the area to the point where curb appeal is a major priority for most of the commercial and residential properties in these communities.
While landscaping is something that is quite important for first impressions, it requires something that enhances its look.
That is where hardscape enhancements can really help balance things out. Especially in the fall months when the weather gets cooler and the traffic flow may be a bit heavier in commercial businesses due to the holidays (or if you’re hosting a holiday get together at home).
Hardscape features can blend in quite well with Hill Country’s surroundings ensuring that elegance, functionality, and durability are all delivered whether it’s on your business property or right at home.
Why Are Hardscapes Important for Fall Curb Appeal?
Hardscaping are the non-living structural elements that enhance your outdoor design. In a sense, they serve as part of that balance your entire outdoor space needs along with the plants and greenery that makes up your landscape.
Installing or updating hardscapes may be something you are considering and the fall offers the best conditions to get it done. The reason for this is that cooler temperatures means less stress on construction materials.
In addition, plantings can be easy to integrate around new structures. It also means adding elements that offer lasting curb appeal (unlike what seasonal flowers and similar decor offers).
The sooner you get this done, the better.
Hardscape Enhancements For Residential Outdoor Spaces
If you have a home in Barton Creek or Westlake, your property just might be the space you enjoy showing off.
The first thing someone might see when they’re in the neighborhood are driveways and entryways that can create that first impression at first glance. If needed, you can consider replacing worn concrete with natural stone, stained concrete, or pavers that can add a bit more of that sophistication and elegance.
For the sake of functionality, you may consider transforming your backyard into a functional gathering space that will be great for get-togethers even if nature cools things off. These include smart landscaping additions like expanded patios, outdoor kitchens, even pergolas.
What Hardscape Elements Fits Your Commercial Property Needs?
If you own a commercial property, you could look at hardscape elements that enhance it this fall. Professionalism and brand identity matter regardless of what time of year it might be.
For example, decorative concrete, flagstone walkways, or even structured planter walls can be useful for your property in terms of directing traffic and enhancing your space.
Outdoor gathering areas can benefit from courtyards, patio seatings, or gathering zones that have proper shading. Let’s not forget that your pathway and parking lot could also benefit from hardscaping as well, especially when it’s paver accents or defined pedestrian walkways that can not only boost aesthetics but also improve overall property safety.
Speaking of safety, your business can also benefit from LED path lighting to ensure that visitors can easily and safely get around from point A to point B.
