🌿 Design delivery day! 🌿
Sometimes you just need to keep it simple. Mostly shrubs with a few screening trees allow this home's mountain views to be the focal point.
The primary issue and Phase 1 for these homeowners is screening the view of their neighbors along the fence line. The existing row of arborvitae is failing. Most companies will suggest a solid row of green as a screen. Most often, the ubiquitous Green Giant arborvitae. 😒 So boring, so lazy.
A screen doesn't have to be a solid mass to do its job. Primarily, it should draw your eye away from what you don't want to see. Let's create something much more beautiful to look at. A variety of textures, plant types, shapes, and colors create interest as well as habitat.
For the rest of the landscape, we are keeping the planting simple, in shades of orange and purple, with easy to mow bed lines. These homeowners have busy lives and they don't need to be deciding if something is a plant or a w**d; low maintenance is key for them. Masses of a single species makes landscape care simpler. I've provided space for a future covered deck and raised vegetable garden area as well.
