Softscape
Beds, borders, and custom gardens designed to complement the house and its hardscape. Every planting is chosen and spaced for how it will look as it matures.
Custom Garden Installation
A custom garden should look considered from its first season and mature gracefully from there. We plan beds around sun, soil, drainage, and how you use the yard, then plant with proper spacing, well-prepared soil, and clean edges, so the garden complements the house and the hardscape. Each installation is finished with mulch and a thorough watering, ready to settle in.
- A site walk to review sun, soil, and existing utilities
- Plant selection suited to local conditions and your preferred level of care
- Bed layout, edging, and soil preparation
- Planting at the correct depth and spacing for mature size
- Mulch finish and a thorough watering on installation day
- Packaging and debris cleared, and lawn edges tidied
- Simple aftercare notes to help the plants establish
Do you design the garden, or install what I choose?
Both. Many homeowners bring a direction, such as color, privacy, or low upkeep, and we turn it into a plant list and layout that suits the site. If you already have a designer's plan, we install it with the same care.
Will it look sparse at first?
It may look open in the first season, then fill in a little more each year. Planting too closely for an instant effect leads to crowding and disease later. We'll show you how the garden will look at maturity.
What about watering after installation?
New plants need steady moisture while their roots establish. We water thoroughly on installation day and leave clear guidance for the following weeks. If you have irrigation, we can review coverage for the new beds.
Can this include trees, or only flowers and shrubs?
Shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, and smaller ornamental trees are all included where the site suits them. Larger trees may be quoted separately under Tree Services.
