There are 70 species of the genus Buxus that are collectively known as boxwoods. Some are very small, growing only inches tall. Others, such as the American boxwood, can reach heights of up to ten feet. Most of the smaller boxwood shrubs typically have a very dense texture composed of very small, tight foliage, which makes them ideal for formal garden design. What many people do not consciously realize, however, is that boxwoods are perhaps even more important to custom garden design. We like to think of a custom garden as one built along the principles of form-follows-content.
The huge diversity in the boxwood shrub family of plants makes it an ideal source of plant material for any number of garden types that we create for the individual homes and yards of our Houston landscaping clients. They are so versatile, in fact, that they can be used for everything ranging from borders and ground cover, interior pattern décor, and even the garden’s primary organic material.
