Introduction
Landscaping is more than just plants and grass—it’s about creating a harmonious balance between hardscaping (non-living elements) and softscaping (living elements). But which one should you focus on for your property?
What is Hardscaping?
Hardscaping includes all the structural features in a landscape, such as:
- Pavers (walkways, patios, and edging)
- Retaining walls and steps
- Fire pits and outdoor kitchens
- Concrete driveways and patios
What is Softscaping?
Softscaping focuses on natural elements like:
- Grass, flowers, and shrubs
- Mulch and decorative rocks
- Trees and plant irrigation
Finding the Right Balance
A well-designed landscape integrates both hardscaping and softscaping. If you want a low-maintenance yard, focus on hardscaping with minimal plants. If you love greenery, blend softscape elements with pathways and seating areas for an inviting outdoor space.
