Starting Fresh or Doing a Refresh
We have 6 Key Landscaping Principles to creating a landscape and garden that beautifully complements your home. Follow these principles from Art That Grows:
-
Use Flanking and Framing to complement your home’s architecture
-
Showcase Larger Plant Types in a way that doesn’t compete with the home’s architecture, but rather creates an inviting and welcoming “hug” to the home
-
Create Tiers and Layering of different plants beginning in the foreground with grass or ground cover and finishing as a backdrop with large shrubs or trees. Then fill the space between with varied-height plantings
-
Use Evergreens at the back and up-front, and deciduous or perennial in the middle
-
Consider the style of your home, its color and your landscape’s color, and natural and artificial lighting levels
-
Choose a Plant Palate that ensures success, one that will endure the extreme weather conditions of North Texas
