Thoughts on Floors VS Toposolid for exterior hardscape and terrain modeling?

I do landscape and am researching to transition to Revit for better collaboration. I understand the terrain is best to be done with toposolid. I would plan also using toposolid for exterior hardscapes. The main reason is that this reduces switching from different tools, hence streamlining the workflow, and I can get contours displayed on the hardscape area.

I am not a pro user, but as far as I have learned, the toposoild functions the same as floors, I will have the same control over layer structure and graphic appearance. Scheduling-wise I think I can differentiate 'hardscape toposolid' from 'terrain toposolid' by customized parameters. 
I think it may be a promising idea, putting this here just to see if there is any aspect I didn't think of or may not fly as I thought. Any comment is appreciated. Thanks!

Model it in the BIM world the same way it will be built it in the real world. That's always been fallback position.  Hasn't failed me so far.
