Softscape for Your Landscape
When most people think of landscaping, the first thing that comes to mind is the live greenery, plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees that live in that exterior space. The art of successful softscaping is found in the successful selection of each element so it thrives in the soil and fits into a cohesive, friendly design that renews itself annually.
Some of the most important considerations when blending the art and science of landscape design into a harmonious finished product include:
- Sound: Trickling water, crunching pebbles, rustling leaves, a crackling fire.
- Color: Multiple greenery, colorful flowers, trees with different barks.
- Texture: Smooth pavers, rough bricks, sleek water, soft flowers.
- Versatility: Features that encourage entertaining and relaxation, like retaining walls, firepits, outdoor kitchens.
Landscaping is about more than just patios and greenery. Elements like weight, form, proportion, scale, repetition, and unity work together to create a balanced design that’s both visually pleasing and harmonious.
Adding Hardscaping to Landscaping
Hardscaping extends living space and personalized landscaping, creating “rooms” outside to enjoy the open air and a beautiful setting designed as you invisioned it. Some of the most common hardscaping projects include:
- Patios: A patio can be as luxe or simple as you prefer. From seating areas to decorative elements, patios come in many possible combinations in materials, design, size, and color.
- Steps and walkway: Many homeowners opt to create sturdy pathways from the front of the home to the back or around the backyard living area. This element makes for an inviting, quaint feature.
- Fire pits and fireplaces: A fire pit or fireplace is a friendly and calming addition to any yard that extends the use of the landscaped space through spring, summer, and fall and offers a source of illumination.
- Retaining walls: Uneven areas, unfinished patios, or firepits can all be transformed with a custom retaining wall that not only adds a decorative touch such as a planter box, but is also designed to provide extra seating.
Blending landscaping and hardscaping allows for an excellent combination of textures and features for a soothing outdoor living area.
Landscaping Enhancements
Water features are a form of hardscaping that are also their own entity. Available in a host of styles and sizes, Water anywhere in the backyard infuses the environment with a bit of tranquility. Whether you’re adding a freestanding pond, or a waterfall backdrop, the sound, texture, and appearance of water is a soothing, natural boost to any landscape.
An outdoor living space becomes even more livable when kitchen elements make their way to the exterior with a bar and grill area. A grilling station, oven, smoker, prep area and refrigerator make it possible to prepare food and drinks while you entertain rather then being confined to the indoors.
Of course, nothing is quite right on a busy patio without appropriate lighting. Whether you are looking for mood lighting, spotlights to brighten a bar area, or illumination to light the way, this element of landscaping can be prioritized in the design of your entire outdoor area.
