Softscape Vs Hardscape Landscaping
If you have been collecting quotes for your new landscaping project, then I am sure you would have heard of the terms ‘softscape landscaping’ and ‘hardscape landscaping’. Do you know the difference though?
- Softscaping: Refers to the ‘soft’, ‘living’ features in your landscape design, so any perennial or annual plants, including grass, trees and flowers.
- Hardscaping: Refers to the ‘hard’, ‘non-living’ features in your design, this can be decks, interlocking, cabanas, pools, etc.
At AHS, we think combining both softscape and hardscape in your landscape design is the best way to achieve both functionality and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
The price of your landscaping project will vary depending on a number of factors. We do everything possible to be completely transparent with you and give an accurate estimation of what a project will cost through our free in-home estimate service.
Some aspects of a project that can affect the price of a job include the required materials, project location, scope, duration, and how many features you want to include in the project. We encourage anyone who is interested in landscaping services to contact us for a consultation to find out what kinds of variables they will need to account for when budgeting for a project and to get their free in-home estimate.
It’s important to have a plan when you’re starting a landscaping project. When we start a job with a customer, we always want to inform them of what will be happening in their yard from project start to finish. Having a design plan makes this easy and trackable, so yes, a designer is important!
Using a designer can reduce the amount of time and money that is needed for a project, and ensures that the final product is one that the homeowner can appreciate and enjoy. Having a vision is incredibly important when it comes to landscaping, and a designer is the bridge between that vision and making the project a reality.
Luckily for you, Action Home Services has access to a wide variety of landscaping design resources. We have a team of dedicated professionals who will be able to sit down with you and properly draw out your vision for a better home exterior. If you would rather use your own design professionals, that’s ok too- we can work with anyone.
Depending on the scope of the project, the local bylaws in your area, and the services you need, you may require a permit before any landscaping can occur. Action Home Services and our landscape design team can get you the permits you need for your landscaping project easily! Leave it to us, and we’ll handle all of the documentation needed to get your project planned, prepared, and executed.
We have decades of combined experience, so we know exactly where and when bylaws and building permits are needed for a project. When you work with Action Home Services, you can rest assured knowing that we have you covered for everything you need to get your landscaping project moving.
It’s easy- just click here to contact us and get your free in-home estimate! We’ll then schedule a time and date for a qualified construction professional to assess your project and give you estimations on time, cost, and any additional services you may require for your project. We assess the site location, project scope, environmental factors, material cost, and a variety of other elements to give you an accurate assessment of your project.
Once we have confirmed all details of the project with you, we’ll acquire all necessary permits, materials, equipment, and labourers and begin construction. AHS prides itself on its non-invasive, efficient, and quality handiwork, with a 5-year limited warranty on almost all of our projects.

Absolutely, they can. Winter landscaping projects are typically discounted because it is considered our offseason and we have more availability to get the job done. Additionally, most larger projects can take months to complete, meaning if you get started in the winter, they will be ready to enjoy by the spring/summer!
That being said, there are limitations to the work that can be done. We are still able to perform any type of stonework, woodwork, electrical, and carpentry. However, we cannot perform any softscaping services or pool projects as weather conditions will affect the quality and longevity of the job. Certain projects can be done under specific conditions. For example, asphalt is extremely temperature-sensitive, and concrete needs to be winterized.
When completing hardscaping projects in the winter, we take precautions to ensure the quality of work is not compromised. For starters, we ONLY use materials with a permeable base. For example, our retaining walls are only backfilled with 3/4 clear gravel for proper drainage. If this is not used, heavy water from melting snow and ice will absorb into the soil/sand instead of the gravel base. With the dramatic temperature changes that come with Canadian winters, repetitive thawing and freezing will cause expansion, which, when combined with natural gravitational force, puts too much pressure on the wall, causing it to deteriorate.
Other preventative measures we take include covering the entire working area with winterized insulated tarps. The tarp is placed on top whenever work is not being done. This keeps the ground beneath warm, so we can perform the same quality of work as we would during other seasons. Should there be snow or ice on the working area, we will also do a mild salt application. Lastly, as always, geotextile is used to keep soil separate from the base (ie; gravel).
Cost for landscaping depends on the type of plants that should go in the garden bed. Garden bed preparation would typically cost $8 per square foot.
Labour for landscaping typically costs around $25-$150 square foot.
