PLANTINGS
The first step in selecting plants is based on specific needs identified in the landscape plan. A plan is important to maximize the landscape investment and meet the needs of climate control, noise reduction, privacy screening, or to satisfy other objectives. The plan should address the total property, but may only include the front of the home one year and another area later. The selection process should consider factors such as ultimate size, adaptability to local soil conditions, exposure to sun, shade, or wind, hardiness (ability to withstand cold, drought, etc.) and maintenance requirements. Consider as well, branching habit, plant texture, foliage color, flowers, and fruit during various times of the year. All this information and more is available from our trained landscape designer. The more one learns about plants, the greater will be the satisfaction gained from the landscape.
