Picking plants is where a lot of homeowners get stuck. That's where we come in.
“We need help figuring out what plants would look good” is one of the most common things we hear. Cole makes plant recommendations based on your light, your space, and the look you want, then places each one with its mature size in mind, so beds look full and balanced for years instead of crowded in two.
If you've just built a house and need landscaping, plantings are usually where the property starts to feel like home. We look at the whole lot, recommend a plan for foundation beds, trees, and privacy, and help you decide whether to do everything at once or in phases.
For established homes, a planting refresh can replace tired shrubs, fill gaps, and add the year-round structure that makes a landscape look intentional in every season.
Planning
What we consider in every planting plan
- 01
Light & exposure
Sun, shade, and wind shape which plants will thrive in each part of your yard.
- 02
Mature size & spacing
We plant for how things will look in five years, not just on installation day.
- 03
Year-round structure
Evergreens and boxwood carry winter form, while perennials and hydrangeas bring seasonal color.
- 04
Privacy
Screening rows of upright evergreens can soften property lines and create a more private backyard.
- 05
Beds & groundcover
Rock or mulch, and the edging that keeps bed lines clean, are chosen to suit the plants and the home.
