Foundation Planting & Gardens Are Landscape Camouflage

Foundation Planting & Gardens Are Landscape Camouflage
Foundation planting refers to the plantings—usually bushes—that are arrayed up close to the house. It is a term that started when many homes were pier-and-beam construction and homeowners needed landscaping to camouflage that visual distraction. However, foundation planting need not be a series of stiff bushes hugging the house. Instead these plantings can be an elegant part of your Houston landscape.

At Exterior Worlds, we recommend that the best place to start in planting gardens of any location is to plan first. We can help you choreograph the layout on paper to determine how much to plant and where. Together we establish a thoughtful approach to your landscape design, including foundation planting, that truly enhances your home.
