Softscapes refer to the living components of a landscape, such as plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers. These elements add color, texture, and dimension to the overall design, creating a lush and inviting outdoor space. Softscape design involves careful selection of plant species based on factors such as climate, soil conditions, and sun exposure. Proper softscapes installation and ongoing maintenance are also essential for the health and longevity of the softscape components.
