Landscaping is divided into two categories — hardscaping and softscaping — both of which can majorly contribute to your home’s curb appeal. Softscaping includes the natural features of your landscape, like trees, flowers, and shrubs. Depending on what kinds of plants you include, they can be perfect for adding a pop of color or creating a lovely shaded area. Meanwhile, hardscaping involves everything else in your landscaping. Having a new deck, driveway, and sidewalk can make a dated home feel brand-new.
