Plants

Plants come in widely ranging categories of shapes, sizes, and uses.

Choosing them can be rewarding and artistic but can sometimes be an overwhelming challenge to the uninitiated. Think about what shape flower bed you're planting and the overall purpose and appearance of what you're trying to achieve with foliage or flowering plants. Take into consideration the requirements of the plants (sun or shade) and the levels of maintenance required.

For instance, maybe you're considering a plant border around the outer edges of your landscaping. These can provide a cleaner and less-busy appearance than numerous small beds spaced around the same area. They can be generously worked into nearly any existing landscape if done with class and thought. Low-growing plants can provide interesting foliage texture and set off the visual appeal of fountains, large rocks, or other flowering centerpieces in your garden or yard. Adding character to blooming flowers and the surrounding lawn, a well-placed border can also significantly reduce the amount of lawn mowing you need to do every week.
