Designing with Color

Our landscape designers and installation crews go way beyond planting some "pointers" on the corners and some "setters" in between. The enjoyment and beauty of your landscape should be year round, not just a flash in the spring and then over.

This is done by the proper selection of plant varieties for both foliage and flower color. Some plants, such as flowering crabs and the tri-color Beech (below left), provide brilliant flowers in the spring, as well as small fruit for color and birds in the winter season.

Flowering crab trees       Perennials

Perennials (above right) such as daylilies will provide a variety of colors throughout the season.

Hostas      Dianthus in bloom

Other plants, such as hosta (above left), provide color not only through flowers, but leaf and stem color, as well. Mt. Mist Dianthus in full bloom and sky blue grassy foliage add a burst of color to wide open spaces (above right).
