Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Grounded Spaces, the podcast where we dig into
the art and science of creating outdoor havens without losing
our minds. I'm Sanity, your voice of reason, here to
keep us rooted in facts, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Captain, steering us through the wild season outdoor design with
a bit of vision and a lot of practicality. Today
we're diving into the big debate landscape versus heartscape. Should
your backyard be a lush, green oasis or a sleek
stone masterpiece.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's plants versus pavement, folks, and it's more than just looks.
It's about lifestyle cost and how your space makes you feel.
So grab a shovel or a paver and let's get started.
Let's lay the foundation. Landscape is the living stuff trees, shrubs, grass, flowers,
anything green and growing. Hardescape. That's the built elements, patios, walkways,
(00:52):
retaining walls, maybe a fancy fire pit. Captain, break it down.
What's the core of this debate, Well, that's a purpose.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Sanity.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Landscape brings nature, soft textures, seasonal changes, becoming vibe of greenery, fat,
sprawling lawns or wildflower beds. Heartscape is structure, durable, low
maintenance mottern, like a stone patio for bbq's or a
pergola for shade, that debates about what fits your life.
Do you want the low effort hangout spots or a
(01:24):
garden you nurture its function, meaning.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Feeling exactly landscape's alive. It breathes, grows, needs care. Hardscape
static but reliable, like the loyal friend who never changes
data point. A twenty twenty three survey from the National
Association of Landscape Professionals said seventy percent of homeowners want
to mix, but leanings vary. Urban folks often go hardscape
(01:50):
for space. Rural folks love lawns. Captain, where do you stand?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Five team both, But it depends if you're a busy
city dwell heartscapes a lifesaver, less upkeep, more usable space,
But nothing beats a shady tree or blooming roses for
soul soothing.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The trick is blending them without turning your yard into
a maintenance nightmare.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Spoken like a true captain steering the middle course. But
let's be real, choosing one over the other can make
or break your outdoor vibe. Let's dive deeper. Time to
weigh anchor on the pros and cons is landscape's natural
beauty worthy upkeep or does hardescapes durability win Captain make
the case for landscape.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
First, landscapes where it's at for hearts and health, let's
purifying air. Studies show urban trees cut pollution by up
to twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Big cool spaces.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
A good lawn can lower your yards tip by ten
degrees plus the mental boost gardening reduces stress hormones, per
a twenty twenty study. Anesthetically, a flower bed or climbing
ivy screams life downsides time and money watering, fruiting, weeding.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
If you're not ready to commit, it's a jungle fast.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Jungle's right. I love a good rose bush, but the
upkeeps brutal, especially in drought zones where water bills skyrocket.
Hardscape's my counter argument. It's low maintenance. A stone patio
doesn't need mowing. It's versatile, think outdoor kitchens or sleek walkways.
Cost upfronts higher five thousand dollars for a decent patio,
(03:27):
but it lasts decades. Plus, it's urban friendly. Small yards
shine with pavers. The catch it can feel sterile and
poor design traps heat like an oven.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Sterile's the word. Heartscapes like a space ship. Cool but
solus without plants to soften it. And don't forget resale
homes with ballot s. Landscaping get boost value by ten
to twelve percent for real estate data. All heartscape yards
fires yawn, but I'll give you durability.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Heartscapes are rockstar for busy folks. Are harsh climates fair.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
The data backs you greenery cells, but hardscapes accessibility matters too.
Wheelchair friendly walkways or flat patios beat uneven lawns for inclusivity.
The real question is lifestyle. If you're a gardener at heart,
landscape's your jam. If you want Netflix overweeding hardscapes.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Calling lifestyles ki and climate desert dwellers lean heartscape, greenies,
olds loveless LODs, Blend them a patio with body plants
or along with stone bats.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's not either more, it's harmony.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Look at you, captain preaching balance listeners, what's your yards? Vibe?
Tweet us all grounded spaces, greenery or stone. Let's pause
for a break. We're taking a quick breather to dream
up our ideal yards. Back soon with real world examples
and tips for blending landscape and hardscape head.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Maybe a cold drink on the patio plants optional like
promise Chabon's music just for you.

Run well you kill before the storm begins.
Speaker 6 (05:34):

You couldn't take me acrost it dead, poison spilled in
every thread, curly deep with my shrest, love me bleeding
in the dosh.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Like my fear is like a genars toy, brung me
down like a fucking decoy. You rebel bay des ay
for fun. The boys over wretch your run.
Speaker 2 (06:50):

Speaker 6 (06:51):
You'll think your cag blood, all your littlest lotics dead.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
What devils arend garmath? Blood your bag for birthday.

You cannot run on wo.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
What row?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Welcome back to grounded spaces. Let's get practical. How do
landscape and hardscape shape real yards? And how do you
choose captain? Share a story.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Got a friend Maya with a tiny urban lotch She
went heavy ardescaped flagstone patio, built in bench fororlough maintenance, entertaining.
But it felt cold, so she added raised cardon beds
and climbing vines impact. Her yard's now a cozy retreat,
perfect for parties. Lessen heartscape sets the stage. Landscape brings
(08:59):
the warmth. Per tip start small potted plants if you're
not ready for a full garden, love that balance. Another case,
my neighbor went on landscape, wildflowers, fruit, trees, the works.
It's gorgeous, but a time suck. He's out there every weekend.
Impact great for his mental health, bad for his social life.
(09:20):
Costs piled up to two thousand dollars a year on
plants and irrigation.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Heartscape would have saved him time.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
My tip check your zone's climate drought prone go z
their escape with gravel and succulents, wet lush lawns, work
solid advice, More tips for landscape, big native plants, they
drive with less care for heartscape, invested quality materials, cheap pavers,
crack fast budget tip, mix and match a small lawn
(09:48):
with a gravel path costs less than all or nothing,
and sustainability permeable papers, let water through, saving runoff trees,
cut a sea bills.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And don't sleep on function. Want a kid friendly yard,
soft grass, beat stone, hosting parties, hardscapes cleaner, check local
codes too. Some cities limit hardscape to prevent flooding. Listeners,
think about your space. What's your goal? Zen social low effort.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, it's your ship to steer, sketch your dream yard,
then tweak for reality, time, budget, climate, blend the best
of both worlds angering down landscape versus hardscape.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Whats the verdict? Sanity your final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's not a versus, it's a partnership. Landscape brings life
hardscape brings ease. Pick what fits your vibe and resources.
Data says balanced yards boost happiness and home value. So
mix it up.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
My call.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Start with one good tree in a simple patio.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You can't go wrong, well said, I'm all about harmony,
greenery for the soul, stone for the structure.
