Landscape Design - Flowers Plants

The arrangement and display of flowers is the central focus of garden landscaping for many homeowners. However, garden landscape design should take all four Massachusetts seasons into account. By mixing a variety of flowers that bloom at different times of the summer you can have flowers displayed for a sizable part of the year. Tulips in the spring to late blooming daylillies can mean your garden will always be alive with the beauty of blooms. Of course summer ends and you'll want a variety of plants that stay green throughout the winter.

At SLDA, we enjoy envisioning your garden landscape in all its glory. And, we'll delight in bringing out your vision of your garden landscape. You can choose from hundreds of possible plants and flowers and create any shape and style of beds to put them in. There's perennials that you'll want to have and they might be joined by a variety of shrubs and small trees to provide contrast and a little protection from severe weather.  Consider your favorite colors and how you'd like to see them show in your garden. We'll plan the best combinations and ensure the soil and drainage are right. All this to keep your garden landscape healthy.

If you're into herbs and berry producing trees, we'll create a special place for them as well. Protection from bugs and animals is an important consideration in ensuring your crop survives. To create an even greater sensory effect, plan your inclusion of fragrant flowers and plants such as roses, petunias, sweet peas, veronica, jasmine, hyacinth, and thyme.

Your garden beds and borders might employ brick, plastic, or wood, and use scented mulch to discourage pests. Whatever collection of plants and flowers you prefer, they should exist in harmony with the rest of your landscape design.
