Softscape

Softscape is the “soft”, living part of your landscape, the vegetation. These features may be permanent, such as shrubs and evergreens, or temporary like perennials. Examples of softscape include:

  • Trees
  • Shrubs
  • Grass
  • Flowers
  • Vegetable Plants
  • Soil
  • Mulch

The Value of Hardscape and Softscape Balance

The perfect landscape combines components from both groups. Hardscape overkill, which is unappealing, is a design that mostly consists of rocks, gravel, a sizable paved road, and other stone features. On the other hand, a yard that is overgrown with trees, bushes, and flowers but without any walkways or barriers to divide the growth can resemble an unruly jungle that you should avoid. The ideal situation is one where there is harmony created by a calm balance of soft and harsh elements. As a consequence, you and your visitors will want to enter and enjoy the welcoming area.
