Here’s a quicky fact: not all landscaping is created equal. In fact, there’s a difference between hard landscaping and soft landscaping services.
As the name suggests, hardscaping refers to the hard stuff related to construction. We’re talking things like bricks, stones, gravel, paving, patios, decks and driveways. They are solid and unchanging.
On the other end of the scale, soft landscaping includes the living horticultural parts of a garden. So a soft landscaping specialist will typically work with plants, flowers, tress, shrubs, suculents or ground covers.
Residential Soft Landscaping
Our highly experienced gardeners across Melbourne specialise in designing creative and well-balanced outdoor spaces that offer a great talking point to your home.
When selling your home
Whether you’re a property manager, real estate agent or homeowner, a detailed soft landscaping plan can certainly drive up a home’s price tag – without paying a fortune for it. This strategy also turns outdoor living zones into relaxing and enjoyale areas that everyone will love.
