Softscape refers to the living elements in landscape design, such as grass, trees, shrubs, and flowers. It includes ornamental grasses, lawn areas, fruit and decorative trees, as well as ground-cover and flowering plants.
These elements add color and vibrancy, provide shade, and enhance the environment. A successful design balances hardscape and softscape elements to achieve visual harmony. Softscape features also help attract birds and beneficial insects while improving air quality.
