Softscapes
Softscape is a landscape design term that refers to all the living elements outside your home, including sod, trees, shrubs, flowers, and ground cover. Focusing on these areas is an excellent way to make your home stand out from the rest!
Here's how each component of a softscape contributes to your landscape:
The Well-Manicured Lawn
Lawns are a dominant feature in American landscapes, offering a welcoming feel in the front and a space for activities in the back. If your grass struggles due to drought, weeds, or erosion, consider installing new sod.
Fischer Landscape excels in sod installation, from soil preparation to choosing the right fertilizers for healthy growth. We address issues like clay-heavy soil by adding organic material and ensure a smooth surface by leveling low spots and removing humps.

Revitalize Your Shrubs
If your home is nearing 10 years old, your original shrubs may look tired. Georgia’s climate allows for a long growing season, and updating your shrubs can give your home a fresh look. Removing old shrubs is challenging due to extensive root systems and potential interference with utilities.
​
Our designers will help you select the right shrubs for your style and budget, creating a yard characterized by contrast, proportion, and balance.
​
Flowers and Groundcover
Incorporating both perennials and annuals into your garden adds vibrant color year-round. Perennials like Daylilies, Black-Eyed Susans, and Purple Coneflowers are low-maintenance and easy to grow. We’ll guide you on the best placement to enhance your landscape design.
​
Ground covers and mulch protect your soil from erosion and retain moisture. Popular choices in Atlanta include pine straw, pine nuggets, cypress, and hardwood mulch.
