Hardscapes VS Softscapes

Hardscapes and softscapes are two wonderful landscape features that serve different purposes. Hardscapes are made of non-living materials, such as stone, concrete, and metal, and are designed to be more permanent. They provide structure and stability to your outdoor space.

Some examples of hardscape features that can enhance your outdoor space include patios and walkways, retaining walls, boulders, and decks and pergolas.

While they require regular maintenance, they offer a range of benefits, such as adding color, texture, and fragrance to your yard. They can create a natural and organic feel and provide a peaceful ambiance.Some examples of softscape features that can enhance your outdoor space include Trees and Shrubs, grass, soil, mulch, and plants.
