What happens here
Develop a comprehensive planting plan that integrates seamlessly with the hardscaping, providing visual appeal, privacy, and defining garden beds. This involves selecting a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees to soften hard lines, add color and texture, and potentially create privacy screens along the fence line. Additionally, ensure the design includes practical elements like accessible pathways around the house and strategically placed raised planters to enhance both aesthetics and functionality.
Goal: Integrate softscaping and pathways for a complete backyard design.
