What is Softscaping?
Softscaping focuses on the living elements of your landscape. It includes all types of plant life such as trees, shrubs, flowers, seeds, ground coverings, and climbers.
Our goal is to create vibrant green spaces by choosing appropriate plants, conditioning the soil, and applying the necessary fertilisers to achieve optimal results.
Key Softscaping Services:
Plant Selection and Installation
Choosing the right plants is crucial for future-proofing your garden. Whether you have a small courtyard or a large lifestyle block, we select plants that will thrive in your specific environment. Our softscape installation ensures that each plant is placed in the optimal position for growth and aesthetic appeal.
Soil Preparation and Mulching
Proper soil conditioning and the application of top-grade mulch and compost are essential for plant health. Mulching helps suppress weeds, retain moisture, and enhance the appearance of your garden. We use the best materials to ensure your plants receive the nutrients they need.
Pruning and Shaping
Regular shaping and pruning of trees, shrubs, and hedges encourage healthy growth and maintain the desired form. Our experts train plants to grow in the shape and form you want, creating height and structure throughout your property.
Weed and Pest Control
Removing weeds and unwanted shrubs is crucial to maintaining a healthy garden. We eliminate contaminated weeds and soil to prevent spreading and apply fertilizers and fungicides to keep your plants healthy and thriving.
Seasonal Colour and Maintenance
We provide ongoing maintenance to ensure your garden looks its best throughout the year. Regular care and support are essential for plants to live and thrive to their full potential. Our services include seasonal planting, fertilizing, and adjusting care routines based on current climate conditions.
