Landscape Planting

No landscape is complete without a little bit of green. Landscape planting can be functional, providing shade, acting as fencing, designating spaces in the yard, providing food, or attracting birds and butterflies. Landscape planting also takes away what might otherwise be the rough edges of a yard, appeasing the eye and even helping instill a sense of zen.

The problem is choosing the perfect plants — edible or non-edible, native or non-native, potted or planted, perennials or annuals — it makes your head spin. The first step is deciding what purpose the plants will have in your landscape whether just to bring you joy or to create boundaries. Next, determine how much time and effort you want to put into watering, pruning, and care. Finally, figure out what plants will fit in each space. This is when using expert landscape designers and contractors really pays off. The years of experience the Grasstains landscape team brings can ease decision-making and assure a yard that brings you joy in all seasons.
