Glossary of Terms

Hardscaping refers to the non-living elements in a landscape design. It includes features such as pathways, driveways, patios, retaining walls, fences, fountains, and other structures made from concrete, brick, stone, wood, or metal. Hardscaping adds functionality, structure, and visual interest to outdoor spaces.

HOA stands for Homeowners Association. It is a governing body in a residential community or neighborhood that enforces certain rules and regulations for the benefit and maintenance of the community. HOAs are usually responsible for managing common areas, collecting fees from homeowners, and ensuring compliance with community guidelines. They aim to maintain property values and improve the overall quality of life in the neighborhood.

Landscape architects are professionals who designs outdoor spaces such as parks, gardens, campuses, and public areas. They plan and create aesthetically pleasing, functional, and environmentally sustainable landscapes. Their work involves considering factors such as site analysis, climate, soil conditions, and client requirements. Landscape architects use their knowledge of plants, horticulture, and design principles to create beautiful and functional outdoor spaces that enhance the surrounding environment. They also often collaborate with other professionals, such as engineers and architects, to ensure their designs are feasible and meet necessary regulations.

Softscaping refers to the horticultural aspects of landscaping that involve the use of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and other organic materials. It includes the design, installation, and maintenance of vegetation to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of outdoor spaces. Softscape elements are living, natural elements that soften the overall look of a landscape design and create a harmonious environment. They can provide shade, privacy, and attract wildlife, as well as add color, texture, and fragrance to outdoor areas.
