HARD vs SOFT No build - home, bach or business - is complete without landscaping and much like the style of the building, options are endless.

lean lines, low maintenance and easy care or mowing lawns, weeding flower beds and pruning shrubs? That is the question. The reality is there’s no simple answer; it’s all about personal preference and needs. More homeowners are opting for hard landscaping, while others still prefer the traditional soft option and yet some choose a mix of the two. The difference between the types of landscaping is reflected in the descriptions. Hard landscaping consists of the hard things you will have in your garden, such as bricks, concrete, stone, gravel etc. Soft landscaping is the soft or living element of your garden, such as flowers, shrubs, grass, trees, soil, and anything growing in general. Both soft landscaping and hard landscaping are considered important in good landscape design and the best time to sort this aspect is when you start building. In addition to material and general building costs, most build companies recommend allowing 10 percent of the value of the build for landscaping. The same applies to landscaping remodelling.
