Landscape Planting Design — Trees, Shrubs & Perennials

Good planting design works in layers: trees for the frame, shrubs for the structure, perennials and groundcovers for the color and change. Done well, the layers hold interest through all four seasons — flowering cherries and smokebush over monarda, hydrangeas against evergreens — and settle a house into its site.

These plantings each began with a plan — see the master plans & planting plans behind work like this, or browse the perennial planting design gallery for the ground layer up close. Call 610.530.8752 to talk plantings.
