Landscape Designs Combines Plants, Hardscapes & Natural Features

Making Memorable Plant Landscape Designs

With your plant landscape design, you have an opportunity to combine plants, hardscapes and natural features in an artful way. The best Houston landscapes develop interesting design concepts that are vibrant and in balance. They are landscapes that serve both form and function. At Exterior Worlds, we are cognizant of three basic areas of your landscape when thinking about creating a memorable plant landscape design. Public spaces, like the front yard, are on view by the public. This includes everyone from the postman to the mom on her way to the grocery store to potential buyers arriving with their real estate agent. Private spaces are most notably the back yard, side yards and any other space shielded from casual view. Utilitarian spaces comprise trashcan, compost heaps, a/c units and pool equipment areas and are best screened from view. In considering the placement of plants within a landscape, we always acknowledge that plants have personalities. Some are soothing and hardworking, while others are showy and flashy, and still others are here today and gone tomorrow. And just like with a good party, you want a mix of these types. Invite only the quiet ones and you have a totally forgettable affair. Too many show-offs and the place gets overwhelming.
