ALL ABOUT SOFTSCAPES

What Is Softscapes?

One of the first thing you might notice about building is its surroundings. If you’ve ever driven past somewhere and really admired the grass or its garden, what you were admiring was its softscapes.

Softscapes is anything that would be classified as living elements that are adjacent to your home. Some of these include any plants, trees, grass shrubs, sod, soil, flower beds, and other things of that nature. There’s much more to it than just planting flowers or trees. There’s a great deal of maintenance that is involved, such as just how much water and sunlight it should get, as well as making sure that it is trimmed and kept up in appearance regularly.

Ecoscape Covered

Another thing we do at Arbutus Landscape Construction is ecoscape. Ecoscape, which is designed for water-tollerable plants, is the combination of soil and drought-tolerant plants. This can be achieved by using more natural products and decreasing the amount of artificial fertilizers that you use on your property. It’s way more efficient for the environment, and also manages to reduce water usage by 50 percent! Once all is said and done, it creates a great landscape that manages to catch the eye, but it’s also way friendlier for the ecosystem.
