Hardscape Trends in Metro-Detroit

Hardscaping is more than function; it’s about improving outdoor living and curb appeal. Metro Detroit homeowners are investing in stylish, durable designs that work with Michigan’s seasons.

What’s Popular Right Now:

1. Natural Stone Patios

Natural flagstone and bluestone remain favorites for patios. They hold up well in freeze-thaw cycles and offer timeless appeal.

2. Fire Features

Built-in fire pits and stone fireplaces extend outdoor use into spring and fall. They’ve become a top request for entertaining spaces.

3. Contrast Borders

Mixing materials — like dark pavers with lighter edging — creates bold, clean lines. It helps walkways and patios stand out.

4. Raised Planter Beds

Retaining walls that double as seating or planting space are functional and attractive. They also work well in uneven yards.

5. Low-Maintenance Design

Simple layouts with fewer joints and clean lines reduce long-term maintenance and still look sharp year-round.

Hardscaping is a long-term investment. When done right, it boosts value, improves usability, and adds beauty to your landscape.
