What is soft landscaping?
In soft landscaping, living elements are used to add visual interest, contrast and function to a landscape. This can include grasses, shrubs, trees, flowering plants, vegetables and herbs.
Soft landscaping is an important part of any landscape design as it can provide a range of benefits including:
- Improving the aesthetic appeal of the landscape
- Creating privacy and screening
- Enhancing the microclimate
- Attracting wildlife
- Providing food and shelter for wildlife
- Reducing noise pollution
- Improving air quality
- Absorbing carbon dioxide
When selecting plants for soft landscaping, it is important to consider their size, shape, colour, texture and form. You should also take into account their growing requirements such as sunlight, water and soil type.
It is also important to select plants that are suitable for the climate in which they will be grown. In the UK, this includes selecting plants that are drought-tolerant, as well as those that can tolerate high temperatures and humid conditions.
If you are unsure about which plants to select, it is a good idea to consult with a qualified landscape designer or horticulturist. They will be able to advise you on the best plants for your particular landscape and growing conditions.
