Looking for soft landscaping in North London? If so, then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Eden Gardens, we know all about the value of soft landscaping and what it can do to influence the overall feel of your outdoor space.
If there’s one thing many people don’t realise, it’s just how important soft landscaping is in defining the shape, style and atmosphere of a garden.
In this article, we’ll be talking about the real value of soft landscaping and how you can use it to bring a more natural feel to your garden.
Shaping Your Outdoor Space
We’ve worked on many projects that have called for soft landscaping in North London, and one assumption we often encounter is that soft landscaping plays no role in defining the overall shape and style of a garden. Many people think of soft landscaping as little more than the icing on the cake – the final touches that help bring a garden to life.
At Eden Gardens, however, we know that soft landscaping should be considered right from the start and that, when used effectively, it can have a completely transformative influence. But why the misconception? What is it that leads so many people to underestimate the value of soft landscaping?
The Difference Between Soft Landscaping and Hard Landscaping
Soft landscaping is often thought of in contrast with hard landscaping. Where hard landscaping uses solid elements such as walls and stairs to block out and define the shape, soft landscaping makes use of more natural elements. As such it has a far less artificial feel.
That being said, while hard landscaping is certainly valuable, it is not only possible but often desirable to use soft landscaping as your main approach. Of course, this depends massively on the final result you’re going for, but if you want a garden that really speaks to that ‘natural’ feel, then it’s entirely possible to do that without needing lots of hard elements.
Finding The Balance That Works For You
At the end of the day, you have to find the balance that’s right for you but understanding how you’re using these two approaches in relation to one another is very important. It’s all about asking the right questions ahead of time so you create an atmosphere that best matches the garden you’ve always dreamed of.
