Planting and softscape installation is the art and science of introducing living plant materials into a landscape design. This includes everything from installing mature trees and flowering shrubs to laying out perennial beds and ornamental grasses. Homeowners along El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego or near the sprawling neighborhoods off Highway 101 in San Jose often seek these services to enhance curb appeal. Properties near Twentynine Palms Highway in Joshua Tree benefit from desert adapted plantings, while homes along Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles and those in the agricultural valleys around Santa Maria look to softscape work for both beauty and functionality.
