Softscapes

What Are Softscapes? (Your Yard’s Living, Growing Beauty)
Think of your outdoor space like a canvas. Hardscapes are the permanent “frame” – patios, walkways, walls, and decks. Softscapes are the living, breathing artwork that brings it to life.

Softscapes Include:

  • Plants & Flowers – Perennials, annuals, shrubs, and ornamental grasses.
  • Trees & Bushes – Shade trees, fruit trees, evergreens, or flowering shrubs.
  • Lawns & Groundcovers – Lush grass, clover, moss, or low-maintenance native spreads.
  • Mulch & Soil – Rich topsoil, compost, and decorative mulch (dyed, natural, or stone).
  • Garden Beds – Raised beds, pollinator gardens, vegetable patches, or herb spirals.
