What’s the difference between hardscapes and softscapes?
A softscape is all the natural, organic materials used to create a landscape. Grass, plants, flowers, and trees are all parts of softscaping.
Hardscapes, on the other hand, are the built environmental features. These include structures made of concrete, wood, or other construction materials. Walkways, patios, and driveways are some of the most common hardscaped elements.

Can I give input on the design of my landscape?
At Greenhouse Landscaping, we use a detailed consultation process to get to know our clients, flesh out their ideas, and realize their vision for their space. We welcome all feedback, and we adjust our design until every detail is to your liking.

How do I care for freshly installed sod?
Fresh sod needs ample watering to establish strong roots. For the first two weeks, water your lawn at least daily for 20 minutes, or four times a day for about five minutes. The soil underneath should never be soggy, so adjust according to recent rainfall. You should also stay off the sod as much as possible.
When grass reaches a height of at least 3 inches, you should mow the lawn for the first time. By then, the sod will have developed sufficient roots to need less watering and maintenance.
