Landscaping Tips & Tricks
-
Always make an effort to consider coloration, bloom times, deciduous or evergreen nature, growth habits, soil and sun requirements, and any disease or pest concerns when choosing the plants for your landscape design. Try to keep in mind when certain plants bloom, produce colorful seed, or display fall color so that your landscape can always have a beautiful focal point during all seasons of the year. Also, be mindful of when certain plants produce the most clutter and try to design your plan to adequately account for any maintenance or access concerns.
-
As you choose plants for the sides of your foundation landscape, a good rule of thumb is to select a gradually decreasing height of plant, creating a multiple level visual effect around the exterior of your home.
-
When considering a foundation plant layout, remember that slow growing shrubs and trees with a low or short growth habit can make ideal corner foundation plants. Visually anchoring the edges of your landscape, larger corner plants are often used to obscure the “harsh” vertical lines of building corners.
-
In conjunction with the above point, large “sweeping curves” are also recommended when considering how to design any lawn edging or mulching. This rule of thumb is also used when proposing any landscape designs to be implemented throughout the lawn itself.
-
Always make proper considerations of growth habit and rate when determining the distance a plant should be placed away from the foundation! Imagine the plant at full size and plan accordingly!
-
When choosing mulch colors and types, be especially careful of mulches that may attract termites near your home foundation.
