Starting with a Fresh Slate
When you are starting with a fresh slate in a new house plan or through revamping the old one, removing the existing vegetation is key to achieving a holistic look for your new outdoor spaces. They can dig up and haul away any plantings and trees that are diseased, struggling, or don’t fit the look you are going for, leaving a blank canvas ready to be filled with vibrant, healthy trees, shrubs, and flowers.
Refreshing One Area
If the entry landscape seems dull or the area around the patio doesn’t offer enough privacy, a landscape professional can remove those plantings to deliver a new appealing planting plan that has all the best planting principles at work. While you certainly want them to look amazing, landscape professionals take into consideration the environmental factors such as shade and sun patterns, wind paths, and soil conditions to ensure the curated plantings will thrive and grow gloriously beautiful.
Using Plantings for Functional Spaces
Plantings can be ideal to create privacy, screen an area from view, and define property borders. Using fast-growing evergreens in a staggered planting plan along the edge of your property makes a living screen that shields the backyard from view and forms a boundary between your yard and the neighbor’s outdoor space.
Boxwoods are often selected to add definition to an outdoor space such as a boundary hedge where they grow close together, forming a thick living wall.
Around Patios
Ornamental trees are ideal to add privacy and blooming beauty to your patio area by placing them at intervals around the perimeter. Accented with shrubs that grow to a mid-size plant, the trees provide height and the shrubs serve as anchors.
Potted planters holding small trees can form a screen for the patio when placed along one edge where the view needs to be made more private. Not only is this practical but when filled with green ferns and colorful blooming flowers, the planters look divine on the patio.
Formal Gardens
Dwarf boxwoods and gravel paths can flank stepping stones that lead from the patio into a formal garden where symmetry and repeated shapes dominate. Each garden bed is anchored with ornamental trees that add blooms in the spring and summer seasons.
Accents for Plantings
Many times, accenting plantings with structural features makes them stand out and have more of an impact in the landscape. Stone retaining walls are excellent to define the planting beds and create contrast to the plants with rough edges, earth-tone colors, and visual interest with stacking many together.
Landscape boulders lend visual weight and add a focal point to a planting bed that should stand out more than those around it. Pairing bold colors with less intense shades can be a way to bring some of the plantings to the forefront for more impact.
