Soft Landscaping
Soft landscaping is the process of designing the elements of a landscape that do not involve construction. These elements include trees, turf, synthetic turf, shrubs, and flowers, mulch, and garden bed edging. A beautifully landscaped garden provides a place for families to connect and children can find it a place or learning and wonder. Brisbane’s subtropical climate allows for a wide range of plants to grow successfully.Some things to consider when deciding on Landscaping.

1. What do you want your garden to achieve? Grow edibles? Enhance privacy? Create a floral display? Provide shade from western sun? Encourage wildlife?
2. What do you wan to do in your garden? Create play areas? Entertain?
3. What type of budget do you have for the project?
4. What types of plants do you like? Ground covers? hardy plants? Shady trees? Flowering shrubs?
