This document discusses soft landscaping. Soft landscaping generally refers to garden design and involves planting trees, shrubs, hedges, and groundcover. These plantings add aesthetic beauty, provide environmental benefits like reducing pollution and cooling the air, and can act as physical or visual barriers. When selecting plants for soft landscaping, characteristics like habitat requirements, growth rate, foliage, and more should be considered. Common soft landscaping elements include trees, which come in narrow, broad, or palm varieties, as well as shrubs, hedges, and groundcover vegetation.
