Softscapes - Natural Reflections

What Are Softscapes? Softscapes are the living components of a landscape - trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses that bring texture, color, and seasonal interest to a site. They soften hardscapes, break up the horizontal monotony of poolscapes, accentuate architectural details and threshold moments, connect people to place, and improve environmental health by providing shade, habitat, carbon sequestration, and stormwater absorption. In Japanese gardens, plants reflect natural landscapes at the human scale, and represent seasonal change and harmony.
