If I’m not invited to a night party or two here, I will be v sad.
What happens here
After the major hardscaping and structure construction is complete, the final step involves thorough cleanup of the construction area, removing debris, and performing any necessary landscaping or softscaping. This includes adding fresh topsoil, planting grass, shrubs, and flowers to integrate the new structures with the natural environment. The video shows a partially unlandscaped area near the lake, suggesting this phase is ongoing or still needed. This stage truly brings the entire outdoor living space to life, providing a lush and inviting backdrop for the hardscaping elements.
Goal: Clean the site and enhance the aesthetic appeal with softscaping.
