First impressions start at the curb. Clean beds and the right plantings change how a home is seen.
Softscape is everything living and loose in the landscape: the beds, the rock or mulch, the edging that defines them, and the plantings that fill them. Done well, it frames your home and makes it look cared for from the street.
We work with two kinds of homeowners most often. Some have just built a house and need finished beds around a new foundation. Others have landscaping that feels dated, with overgrown shrubs, tired mulch, and bed lines that have lost their shape, and they want it redone.
Either way, we design bed shapes, edging, groundcover, and plantings that suit the scale and style of your home, then install them with crisp lines and careful detail.
Planning
What we consider in every curb appeal project
- 01
Bed shape & edging
Clean curves or crisp geometric lines, with paver edging that holds the shape.
- 02
Rock vs. mulch
Each has a different look and feel. We help you choose what suits the home and the plantings.
- 03
Foundation plantings
Shrubs and perennials sized to the house so windows stay clear as plants mature.
- 04
Tree rings & island beds
Defined beds around trees and in open lawn add structure to the front yard.
- 05
Scale to the home
Beds and plantings proportioned to the house, so the landscape and architecture look balanced.
