How to aquascape when you have sandsifting fish?

I have a biocube 29 and I'm thinking of aquascaping it to look better, but if I have sand sifting fish what would be a good way of aquascaping it? I was thinking have some dragon stone with a bonsai tree driftwood piece (possibly designed to look like a tree) in the one corner, but I'm worried the loaches (dojo and kuhli) would ruin it

I'm dry starting my tank and allowing the carpet and plants to establish properly before adding my kuhlis. You can always just use your primary hardscape for plants.

I meant if you are doing something like a concave structure, I want the one corner to be raised up and have a moss ball tree in that corner

I'm not sure how well loaches will work for that. What will your substrate be?

Black sand, I'm trying to get my peacock gudgeond to color up

With rocks around, it could be possible to protect the tree from explorative loaches.

No I'm not worried about that, in worried about the concave shape of the sand and all being ruined

How about small driftwood structures with anubias?

I planned on doing that too, problem is I have no experience or skill with plants, last time I used plants they all died except for a select few
