Due to its simple look and malleable form, concrete is a common fixture in residential landscaping. Many homeowners choose concrete to add new spaces, create pathways, fix driveways, and more. From SSD Landscaping and Construction in Calgary, here are some reasons why you should consider incorporating concrete into your home’s landscaping.
Structure
Some yards don’t have a flat design, creating a steep drop or uneven structure to the yard. If this is the case for you, a retaining wall may be a good installation. Not only are retaining walls incredibly low-maintenance, but they add to the curb appeal of your home while providing structural integrity to your uneven yard. Concrete retaining walls can provide your yard with a unique and structured look. Retaining walls can be a great addition to your yard.
Functionality
Concrete is a versatile material. It’s used for many different features around your home and adds functionality. One example is pathways to connect the front of your home to the back. Not only does it provide easy access to your backyard, but it adds to the aesthetic curb appeal of your home too. Another example could be using concrete for your front porch steps. Cracked or uneven steps can be dangerous for anyone coming and going from your home. A nice concrete pour to fix your home’s stairs will keep everyone safe, and keep your stairs functional for years to come.
Additional spaces
Concrete can provide a foundation for additional spaces to entertain, like patios. Patios are a great outdoor feature. With many uses, patios allow you to spend time with guests, or give your family an extra space to enjoy the outdoors. Big or small, concrete will fit into any space and you can customize it to create the outdoor living space that suits you best.
Sport courts can also be created with concrete. If you have a family that enjoys playing sports, a backyard is a great place to put a basketball court, or the foundation for an ice rink. Use concrete to create an additional space to spend time with family and friends, and enjoy your time outdoors.
