Softscaping is a component of landscape design that refers to the living, horticultural elements involved in landscaping. Softscape elements include flowers, plants, grass, soil, flower beds, and groundcover, and duties like weed/nuisance management, grading, planting, mowing, trimming

Softscaping, on the other hand, provides color, cools your atmosphere, and may bring your landscape to life. It can help to minimize soil erosion on slopes, function as a natural air conditioner and firebreak, and filter pollutants and runoff.

Landscaping design

Well-designed landscapes will have a balance of hardscapes and softscapes. Smaller backyards should limit the number and size of the structures so the structures do not overwhelm the space. Large backyards can have more landscaping structures but they should be strategically placed for the best visual impact.

Our landscape designers will work directly with you and help with the selection of practically every aspect of your outdoor space. We can help you pick out colors, textures and materials for all the features of your outdoor living space. From pavers, rock, tile, boulders, flagstone, concrete, metal works, carpentry, stains, paints and much more.

Planting design

A good landscaper will know how to select plants so that you can have flowers from early spring to late autumn.

Choosing the right plants for the location is the most important decision to make, let our designers and trained staff help with your next project.

Our staff has extensive knowledge of plants, soils and native plants. We offer specimen plants installation, craning of large trees and hydro-seeding lawns and other projects, including slope erosion control.

Drainage system installation

Landscaping that sits in a low-lying area of your property will most likely cause water to collect or pool as water flows downhill to the lowest point. Even the slightest slope causes water to flow and erode the ground. Professional landscape drainage assistance may be necessary if your property becomes soggy or muddy with excess surface water.

It’s important to keep landscape and yards free from excess water, as it may lead to permanent and expensive damage to surrounding property and structures. Oversaturated soil can lead to shifts in the foundation of homes and other buildings, causing cracks and other potentially detrimental damage to your property. Additionally, too much water can lead to muddy areas of standing water, attracting mosquitos and other insects to the once beautiful landscape.
