Softscape is everything \u201csoft\u201d in the yard, i.e., plants, trees and grass. Hardscape is all the \u201chard\u201d features like patios, walkways, and pool decks. For over 30 years, Curti\u2019s Landscaping has been designing and installing beautifully balanced landscapes for homeowners and businesses. We invite you to peruse our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/portfolio\/\">Portfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This residential project in Wesley Hills, New York, with a combo hard\/soft patio, is one example of our work. We transformed a regular lawn into an outdoor entertaining and living space, while maintaining plenty of play area.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Prep<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The sloped property required a significant amount of prep work before we could start on the hardscape and softscape. We graded the rear yard, removed an existing gravel access road, disposed of all debris, and installed screened topsoil for a smooth surface. To simplify landscape maintenance for the homeowners, we also added a sprinkler system, as well as drip irrigation in specific areas. Drainage was also addressed. A French drain, two drywells, and a channel drain were installed to whisk away water.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Hardscape<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The hardscape features play a major part in this landscape design. A strong focus is on the stunning raised marble and grass patio. It blends the look of living plants with the beauty of natural stone. The stone outdoor d\u00e9cor was carried over to a retaining wall that encases the patio, marble step treads, and cultured stone step risers to match the home\u2019s foundation. The marble stone from the patio was also installed as the pool decking and pool patio.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Softscape<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lastly, came the softscape. While we replaced most of the existing plants, we relocated and replanted some larger of the larger shrubs and trees. We also installed Kentucky Blue Sod for a green, lush yard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-54 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/grass-and-marble-patio.jpg\" alt=\"Grass and Marble Patio by Curti's Landscaping\" width=\"477\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/grass-and-marble-patio.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/grass-and-marble-patio-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-55\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/overall-landscape-design-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape Design in Wesley Hills, NY by Curti's Landscaping\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/overall-landscape-design-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/overall-landscape-design-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/overall-landscape-design-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wall-and-shrubs-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Stone Walls and Shrubs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wall-and-shrubs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wall-and-shrubs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wall-and-shrubs-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-57\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pool-patio-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pool Patio in Wesley Hills, NY by Curti's Landscaping\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pool-patio-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pool-patio-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pool-patio-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-58\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/stone-steps-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Stone Steps in Wesley Hills, NY by Curti's Landscaping\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/stone-steps-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/stone-steps-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curtilandscaping.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/stone-steps-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>If you live in the Bergen County and Rockland County area and are considering a new landscape design, installation or renovation, give us a call.
