Shade Gardens Design Constructed Beneath Trees --
A shade garden, by definition, is a garden that is planted beneath trees, in the shade. We have to take great care in designing such a garden, particularly when it comes to soil preparation. A common mistake that many do-it-yourselfers make is to till the soil too much. While it may appear to make sense to dig deep into the earth to give plants as much room as possible to grow, this principle becomes secondary to the absolute of tree preservation. Digging too deep near one or more large trees will invariably lead to you cutting one or more essential roots. In order to plant a shade garden without ruining your trees in the process, it is far better to hire a professional landscaping design firm with expertise and experience in both garden installation and tree preservation.
