Q: What is the difference between hardscape and softscape?

A: Hardscaping refers to non-living parts of a landscape. Examples include patios both pavers and flagstone, pathways, retaining walls (mossrock and railroad ties), and flowerbeds (made out of mossrock or blocks).

Softscaping refers to the living parts of a landscape. Examples include flowers, trees, shrubs, and plants within a flowerbed.

A complete landscape job would include both a hardscape and a softscape to your yard.
