Freshening up an old landscape project

August 28, 2016 by

This landscape renovation project started in 2008 with a total hardscape renovation of the front landscape. After the hardscape project was completed Unique came back in and landscape to accent the architectural of the home and the new sidewalk area.

Over the years the landscape has matured and this spring we went back and did little bit of touchup of the original project to further extend the life of this landscape.

If you need a makeover or an update of your existing landscape call Unique (404-691-9310) and let our creative and experienced staff bring your landscape back to life.

This colorful landscape installation is a combination of perennials, annuals, conifers and flowering shrubs. Balancing structure, color and texture are important ingredients when planning a year-round landscape. From a formal planting to a more eclectic relaxed landscape installation plant selection is important to bring you the year-round interest.

If you have full sun in your garden here are some great perennials and ornamental grass to brighten up the landscape and some. We incorporated these perennials in with the spring seasonal color for the entryway of this subdivision which added a further layer of summer color.

Summer Perennials – Little Bunny Dwarf Fountain Grass (Pennisetum a. “Little Bunny), Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicfolia), Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia f. Goldstum)

 

These are the perennials you see in the photo:

1.Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia f. Goldstum) this is the orange flowering perennial.
2. Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicfolia) this is the bluish flowering perennial.
3. Little Bunny Dwarf Fountain Grass (Pennisetum a. “Little Bunny)
We also incorporated in some dwarf conifers and accent boulders to carry the perennial bed through the winter months giving it some interest.

Other perennials, we recommend for full sun that take very little care:
Shasta Daisy: (Chry. x Becky)
Coreopsis: (Coreopsis v “Moonbeam”)
Coneflower: (Echinacea) “Big Sky Series”

So if you want to add a pop to your landscape, think of adding perennials!
