Foundation planting

Foundation planting help soften the straight lines on the perimeter of the house and give a natural move from the house to the flowerbed or lawn. For cold climates, evergreen plants will add color with their foliage, and trees offer enough privacy from prying eyes when arranged neatly across the border. It is important to ensure that they are not planted too close to the house as the roots may hurt the foundation and the branches may grow into the window.

Shrubs

Shrubs can be classified as evergreen or deciduous and can be grown to cover the landscape flowers, greenery and fragrances. Their height can vary from a few inches to 15 feet and can be pruned into beautiful shapes. You can cover the entire garden with shrubs or plant them as border as they are low maintenance.

Perennials and Annuals

Perennials and annuals add a great deal of color to the landscape and while perennials keep coming every year, annuals have a life-span of one year. Perennials are more expensive than annuals initially, but since they last longer, they more than make up for the cost. Flowering perennials can bloom for two weeks or for the entire season, while annuals begin blooming in late winter or early spring.
