Frequently Asked Questions
What does landscaping involve?
Landscaping involves the design, construction, and maintenance of outdoor spaces to enhance their function and appearance. It includes tasks like soil preparation, planting, turf installation, paving, retaining wall construction, garden bed design, and the installation of irrigation or drainage systems. Landscaping can be purely aesthetic or highly practical, often improving property value, usability, and environmental sustainability. Whether it's a residential backyard, commercial frontage, or a new development site, landscaping blends natural and built elements to suit the space and the client’s vision. Professionals often assess the terrain, soil, climate, and desired outcomes before creating a plan tailored to the property.
What’s the difference between hard and soft landscaping?
Hard landscaping refers to the construction elements of outdoor spaces, such as paving, retaining walls, edging, decks, paths, and structures like pergolas. These features are often made from concrete, stone, timber, or brick and form the framework of a landscape. Soft landscaping, on the other hand, includes the living and growing parts — plants, grass, garden beds, trees, and mulch. It brings colour, texture, and life to the space. A well-designed landscape usually combines both, with hard landscaping providing structure and function, and soft landscaping delivering natural beauty and environmental benefits. Balancing the two ensures a cohesive, attractive, and lasting result.
Why is proper soil preparation important in landscaping?
Soil preparation is crucial in landscaping because it creates the foundation for healthy plant growth and stable surfaces. Without proper preparation, plants may fail to thrive, and lawns or gardens may suffer from poor drainage or compaction. The process includes removing weeds, rocks, or debris, improving soil structure, and adding nutrients or compost. Testing the soil helps determine pH levels and nutrient needs. In some cases, topsoil may be imported to ensure consistency and quality. Good preparation reduces maintenance issues and supports long-term success, whether you're planting turf, establishing garden beds, or installing trees. It's a vital first step in any landscaping job.
