Follow Proper Design Principles

We know when to stop and ask for your opinion during a project!

Good landscape design includes placing plants in odd numbers for a natural informal effect. Start with a focal point, one stand-alone plant such as an upright evergreen or a flowering tree.

 

Mixing colors and textures, create groups of three, five or maybe seven plants of the same variety around your focal point.  Sometimes a larger mass planting of the same variety will create a dramatic effect, and add balance to the overall design. Create movement in your garden by adding ornamental grasses that sway in the wind and enjoy the look throughout the winter.
