Step 5: Walkways, steps, and hardscape that feels high-end
Hardscape upgrades do two big things:
1) Improve safety and daily function
2) Make the exterior feel “designed,” not accidental
High-impact hardscape upgrades:
- New front walkway with clean edges and modern materials
- Rebuilt steps and landings with better proportions
- Improved lighting along paths and elevation changes
- Better drainage planning so water doesn’t pool near the home
Outdoor living tie-in: If you’re also building a patio or deck, coordinate materials and elevations for a seamless look.
