Trees & Shrubs

Trees provide the basic structure for an effective landscape plan.  In addition to framing and serving as an attractive background, trees conserve energy by providing summer shade and reducing the severity of winter winds.

When selecting trees, you need to consider size, hardiness, form, growth, tolerance of soil, water needs and maintenance requirements.

Shrubs, with their almost unlimited variety of sizes, shapes and colors, add a distinctive touch and enhance your landscape.  Carefully selected shrubs are ideal as a beautiful way to blend the yards of homes into their surroundings.  In addition to their aesthetic value, shrubs provide privacy and a feeling of security.

Perennials vs. Annuals

Flower perennials are typically non-woody plants that die to the ground in the fall and come up again in the spring.  For the sake of simplicity, a number of evergreen types are often included in this definition.  Perennials are defined as plants that live three years or longer.  Annuals, conversely, are non-woody plants that only live for one growing season and have to be replaced each and every spring.

Perennials can be planted alone in beds and borders or combined with annuals and woody plants in areas such as foundation plantings.  Certain low-growing perennials make effective ground covers.
