Rest assured, a bespoke garden design from Softedge Landscapes will sit comfortably within the local landscape. Our aim is to provide our clients with aesthetic and functional outdoor spaces without compromising on good sustainable design principles. During the design process, Nina will guide the client though eco-friendly options, for instance: Selecting local materials, reducing water consumption, reducing waste, appropriate plant selection (reducing or eliminating reliance on pesticides). In keeping with our ecological design principles, we attempt to retain any overlooked existing elements of natural beauty within your space wherever possible.
