Whether your soft planting is natural, subtle or making a statement, it is important that you have a right team of landscape contractors with the knowledge and skill to create a scheme that will help to complement the surrounding hardscape. You can combine hardscape and softscape landscaping, as well as creating harmony based on these influences. It will determine how you want to approach your weight with each element.

The process of planning some elements of soft landscaping means that you are about to undertake a long-term endeavor. Shade trees and conifers might almost take years if not decades in order to reach their mature heights, just as it can take years for shrubs to get mature into natural privacy hedges. Elements like these must require some thinking ahead, as they will form the backdrop of the landscape for years to come.
