Landscaping

Landscaping forms vary drastically from stuffy formal to calm and casual.

Whatever style is right for you we will do our best to provide you with ideas that you will find helpful.

Formal Landscape

Small yards can be far more of a challenge than a full blown estate.

Our intentions are to offer examples in the form of the written word or perhaps actual garden designs for both back and front yard ideas.

Using materials that offer twelve months of interest can be accomplished using a good assortment of evergreens to highly decorative rocks along with other varieties of plant materials and additional elements.

The use of trees for both ornamental and shade purposes in your home design theme can help to put the finishing touch on your project.

Almost anyone with the ability to place materials of different forms, textures and colors together in a pleasing manner can design on their own.

The tricky part is in knowing what variety of plants to use that are the hardiest for your area.

Select plant species that thrive with the least amount of care and are not prone to maturing at a size that is far too large for its’ placement in the garden.

Therefore if you feel that you can produce your own plan, I certainly would encourage you to do so and eliminate the expense of a designer.

Informal Landscape

Use the money saved to purchase plants and other materials.

Also consider using some of the funds that you have saved to purchase time with a good horticulturist which will help you to not make mistakes in nursery stock choices.
