Softscapes in Springfield, Missouri

The term softscape is used to describe non-permanent features of your overall landscape and is essentially the living and animated part of the landscape such as trees, shrubs, plants, soil, mulch, grass, and etc.

While softscaping may sound like a less important landscape design element, it can truly make or break a landscape design. 

The “hardscape” might include the permanent structure like a house or building but might also include pavestone patios, retaining walls, etc. 

Softscaping the hardscape is what makes a landscape visually interesting and might be used as a buffer zone, a bit of a privacy screen, or just a garnishment to enhance the overall experience. 

When Imagination Landscapes designs and builds your landscape we strive to incorporate any existing hardscape elements with the new “softscaping” to balance out your overall landscape both visually and functionally. 

The beauty of softscaping is that it can help “soften an existing hardscape and may be adjusted seasonally, annually or as your personal preferences change. 

Last, but not least, the sustainability of any “landscaping” is completely dependent upon the functionality or infrastructure. This is of utmost importance. You can read more about our “Form Follows Function” philosophy here.
