The terms hardscape and softscape pertain to two fundamental categories of landscaping materials. Hardscape encompasses the heavier, non-living elements such as rocks, stones, and flagstones, while softscape includes the living components like shrubs, trees, soil, and grass. To illustrate, in a project undertaken by JW Landscaping, the hardscape phase might involve constructing features like an interlocked driveway or flagstone walkway, followed by the softscape phase, which entails planting trees, shrubs, and grass to complete the landscape. These distinctions help organize and define different aspects of landscaping projects.

Yes, it's advisable to renew your garden mulch annually. Mulch tends to diminish in volume due to factors such as being raked away, disturbed by animals, and fading from sun exposure. Additionally, mulch, typically made from shredded hardwood bark, undergoes decomposition over time. To maintain your garden effectively, we recommend adding a fresh 2-3 inch layer of mulch each year. This practice helps control weeds, retain soil moisture, and preserve the vibrant appearance of your garden, contributing to the health of your plants and the overall maintenance of your property.

Quackgrass is a type of field grass that commonly appears in varying quantities on most home lawns. This resilient cool-season grass is particularly challenging to eliminate and is often mistaken for crabgrass. It becomes clearly visible in early spring and fall, whereas crabgrass is present until June and then dies off. Because quackgrass is closely related to desirable grasses found in lawns, there is no selective method to eliminate it without affecting the good grasses. If quackgrass is present in small quantities, manual removal is recommended, ensuring all roots are extracted and bare spots are reseeded. For extensive quackgrass infestations, a non-selective control can be applied, followed by lawn renovation after a waiting period.
