The corresponding term soft landscape materials is used to describe plant materials. A wide range of hard landscape materials can be used, such as brick, gravel, Rock stone, concrete, timber, bitumen, glass, metals, etc. For the designer, it is important to choose hard landscape products and materials which 'go together' - as must be done for interior design, architecture, fashion design and other categories of design.
