we don’t need the house to be built before we start the design. 

What happens here

Select specific plant varieties and decorative elements to enhance the entire landscape design, adding texture, color, and visual interest. This involves choosing a mix of shrubs, perennials (such as hydrangeas for their vibrant blooms), and ornamental grasses (like Karl Foerster Grasses) for various planting beds. Additionally, consider designing a planting berm along the property lines to provide privacy, buffer noise, or create a visually appealing backdrop.

Goal: Complete the landscape design with appropriate plantings and decorative details.
