Your Questions: Answered!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is softscape, and how does it differ from hardscape in landscape design?

Softscape refers to the living and growing components of your landscape, including trees, shrubs, perennials, flowers, and grasses. These elements add color, texture, and natural beauty, while also providing environmental benefits like shade and improved air quality. Hardscape, on the other hand, encompasses the permanent, non-living structures in your landscape, such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, and water features.

At CLC Landscaping, our first step is understanding your yard’s unique environment. We’ll assess sunlight levels, soil composition, and drainage throughout your property. Then, we factor in your desired aesthetics and maintenance preferences. With this knowledge, we recommend a vibrant selection of plants that will thrive in your space, creating a beautiful and sustainable landscape you’ll love.

Yes! At CLC Landscaping, we believe your personal touch is essential. We’d be delighted to incorporate your favorite plants into the design. Our experienced landscapers will work with you to find the perfect placement for your cherished flora, ensuring they thrive within the overall design plan and complement your existing aesthetic. Let’s discuss your vision and bring your dream landscape to life!

We understand the importance of choosing plants that thrive in the unique Texas climate. To give you the most specific recommendations, we’d recommend scheduling a consultation to assess your soil type and desired sunlight levels. However, some general all-stars for Texas’ heat and sun include drought-tolerant favorites like Red Yucca, Firecracker Fern, and Evergreen Wisteria. These beauties require minimal maintenance and come in stunning varieties to add flair to any Texas landscape.

Yes. Our designers can craft a personalized plan using drought-tolerant plants, colorful perennials, and attractive groundcovers. This will minimize watering needs and weeding while maximizing visual appeal. We’ll also factor in your yard’s sun exposure and soil conditions to ensure your softscape thrives for years to come. Contact CLC Landscaping today for a free consultation and let’s discuss your dream yard.

At CLC Landscaping, we’re happy to work with your existing plants whenever possible. We’ll assess your current landscaping to identify plants that are already pollinator-friendly and recommend ways to integrate them into a more comprehensive design. For any gaps in your existing flora, we’ll suggest native flowering plants that complement your current landscaping style and provide a continuous source of food for pollinators. Our goal is to create a beautiful and functional pollinator haven that works seamlessly with your existing landscape.

We can design a pollinator paradise right in your own Texas yard. We’ll use native flowering plants that bloom throughout the season, ensuring a continuous supply of nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. We’ll also incorporate a variety of flower shapes, sizes, and colors to attract a wider range of pollinators. Our designs will be beautiful and functional, providing a vital habitat for these essential creatures.

At CLC Landscaping, we embrace the dynamic Texas climate! To ensure your landscape thrives year-round, we utilize seasonal plantings.
In spring, we focus on vibrant cool-season flowers.
As summer arrives, we swap in heat-tolerant varieties that flourish in our sunshine.
Finally, come fall, we introduce stunning autumnal blooms to extend your garden’s beauty.
This approach ensures your outdoor space offers a continuous display of color and life throughout the year.
At CLC Landscaping, we prioritize proactive solutions to minimize pest and disease issues in your lawn. Our planting plans favor native, Texas-adapted species that are naturally resistant to common problems. We’ll also recommend soil testing to identify any nutrient deficiencies that might attract pests. Additionally, proper watering practices and organic mulching techniques will be incorporated to create a healthy growing environment that discourages disease. However, if pest or disease outbreaks do occur, we can recommend eco-friendly control methods or integrated pest management (IPM) solutions to effectively address the problem.

At CLC Landscaping, proper drainage is a priority for all our plantings. We take a multi-pronged approach:
First, we assess the existing soil composition and drainage characteristics of your planting area. Amending the soil with organic matter like compost can significantly improve drainage in many cases.
For areas with persistent drainage issues, we may recommend installing a French drain system or raised planting beds.
These solutions allow excess water to flow away from plant roots, preventing root rot and ensuring the long-term health of your prized flora.

At CLC Landscaping, we understand the importance of proper maintenance for a thriving softscape. Here’s a general Texas schedule to get you started:

  • Watering: New plants require consistent watering, typically daily or every other day in the hot Texas sun. Adjust based on rainfall and specific plant needs.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around your plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for water and nutrients.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer appropriate for your plant types according to package instructions, typically once a month during growing seasons (Spring & Fall).
  • Pruning: Prune lightly to remove dead or diseased foliage and encourage desired growth habits. Research specific pruning needs for your plant varieties.

Remember, this is a general guide. For the most success with your new softscape, we recommend contacting CLC Landscaping for a customized maintenance plan tailored to your unique plants and Texas climate.

At CLC Landscaping, we prioritize healthy soil for thriving Texas gardens. Our process involves thorough preparation to optimize drainage and nutrient content. This includes:

  • Deep Tilling: We loosen the soil to at least 8-10 inches, allowing for strong root development and water penetration.
  • Amending the Soil: We assess your specific soil type and add organic matter like compost or aged manure to improve fertility and moisture retention.
  • Balancing pH Levels: We test your soil’s pH and incorporate amendments like lime or sulfur if needed, ensuring plants can access vital nutrients.

By following these steps, we create the perfect foundation for a flourishing Texas landscape.
