The Benefits of Soft Landscaping for Your Residential or Commercial Property
Soft landscaping, which involves the planting of trees, shrubs, flowers, and other living elements, adds both beauty and functionality for both residential and commercial properties. It also can contribute to your neighbourhood biodiversity. A well-planned soft landscape can attract various species of birds and insects, contributing to the health of your local ecosystem.
Soft landscaping can serve as a natural sound barrier, helping to reduce noise pollution, which is particularly beneficial for commercial properties located in bustling urban areas.
Moreover, integrating trees and plants into your property can lead to energy savings. Trees provide shade, reducing the need for air conditioning during the hot months, while their windbreak effects can lower heating costs in winter.

Planting Trees & Shrubs
Aesthetic appeal is another key benefit; vibrant gardens and green spaces create inviting atmospheres, increasing property value and attracting customers for businesses.
Not to be overlooked is how trees can help to reduce CO2 emissions in our neighbourhoods. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, creating a healthier environment for occupants and visitors alike.
Finally, soft landscaping can promote wellness and relaxation. A tree canopy, gardens and waterfalls have been linked to reduced stress levels and enhanced mental well-being. Whether it’s a small garden at home or trees planted around a commercial space, incorporating soft landscaping can transform any property into a more vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable environment.
Bee Turf: An Eco-Friendly Lawn Alternative
Bee Turf is a sustainable grass alternative made from a blend of mixed clovers and low-growing wildflowers, designed to help the survival of bees and other Okanagan pollinators, and reduce water use. It was developed by West Coast Seeds in partnership with the City of Richmond, BC. Once it is established, it only requires weekly watering and offers the flexibility to mow or leave it natural. We highly recommend this eco-friendly option to create a beautiful, low-maintenance lawn while benefiting the environment. Ask us for a quote today!
