Landscaping Plants

Plant selection is a very important factor for landscaping installations. Increased maintenance and failure to flourish are consequences of improper plant selection. Even the best planting practices will not help a plant to thrive if it is poorly suited for a particular site. Both site conditions and aesthetic considerations must be carefully considered to ensure proper plant selections.

Site conditions must take into consideration for appropriate plant selection include light availability, water availability, wind vulnerability, soil considerations, and both above and below ground conditions and obstructions.

Assessment of aesthetic considerations of the plant prior to selection include water and light specifications, growth habits, shape, foliage color, maintenance requirements, and insect and disease resistance
