Although many of our customers over the years have been talented and educated gardeners, most rely on our expertise to consider the following factors in choosing plant material for their property:

• The "structural" purpose of the plant:
  • To provide a "ceiling"

  • To provide screening

  • To divide areas of the landscape

  • To accent a specific space

• The specific requirements of the plants:
  • Their dimensions and habit

  • Their need for light

  • Their optimal temperature and water needs

  • The correct soil fertility

• Additional factors:
  • Whether the color of the plant is important

  • Whether it provides interesting texture and depth to the landscape

  • Whether seasonal shade is an issue [in choosing between large deciduous and evergreen varieties]

  • How quickly the plant grows

  • Whether the plant "makes a mess" on the area below at certain times of the year

  • How much maintenance the plant requires

And last but not least, we make sure that...you like the look of it!
