Here at Eco Home Resource Center, we LOVE green. Whether that means more companies adopting eco-friendly practices in how they construct their housing or just adding more plant life to an otherwise drab outdoor space, adding a little green can go a long way in improving how we utilize our resources!
That doesn’t mean we’re not aware that landscapes often need to utilize less natural materials in order to ensure there is some measure of utility in addition to living in accordance with nature and aesthetics, however! Even before the reckless use of resources in the modern era, humanity has been synthesizing and creating building materials in order to create structures that enhance the utility and aesthetics of their living spaces, after all.
In the landscape industry, a landscape can be broken into two parts: the soft- and the hardscape. Softscapes typically involve the living and organic materials, including soil and plants, and the components used to keep them alive and thriving, like the irrigation system.
The hardscape, on the other hand, are the inorganic and synthetic material used for more practical elements of the landscape. This includes stone, concrete, wood, and metals used for paths, platforms, railings, and any other number of uses to help people get from one part of the yard to another.
However, a yard’s hardscaping doesn’t need to be solely for utility purposes. If designed and fabricated properly, hardscapes can add just as much to the aesthetic of a yard as the softscape. Much like different design techniques can change the architectural style of a house, many different styles of hardscape can transform the style and aesthetic of a yard!
This is where the skills of the landscaper comes into play. A good landscape contractor can design and build a truly transformative landscape for even the dryest and most cookie-cutter yard utilizing the decades of experience behind them. To accomplish this, the designer must incorporate both soft and hardscapes to create a unified style and aesthetic, which takes a rare level of expertise.
For San Diego residents, one of the select few companies with this kind of expertise is Torrey Pines Landscape Company. Torrey Pines Landscaping is responsible for some of the most noteworthy and eye-catching designs throughout all of southern California. Often turning a drab and uninspired yard into the perfect outdoor entertainment center, the company prides itself on its ability to craft the homeowner’s vision into an ideal reality.
Home designers in the boom years of California’s development recognized that the state’s idyllic weather would necessitate the addition of patios and pools, but the population’s inexperience with landscape design meant that builders could afford to cut corners and create humdrum designs that lacked any aesthetic appreciation.
As time went on, a more worldly American consumer has necessitated the creation of specialty designers that could match their expanded taste. Now, companies like Torrey Pines are crafting some of the best designs in the world.
If you are interested in redesigning your landscape, or even just your patio, and making it into something truly transformative, there’s no better company to call. Get in contact with Torrey Pines Landscape Company today:
