Shade landscaping is a very important part of Houston landscaping design. With our city experiencing some of the highest temperatures in the country, it is essential that we create areas of shade in people’s yards that will allow them to enjoy outdoor living in comfort. There are many ways to create these pockets of shade with plant life, trees, and structures that will work with any style of landscaping.One of the most important places to create shade is in the garden. Gardens are meant to be enjoyed from the inside as well as from the outside. Many types of garden design involve building a patio that functions as a central seating area. Shade can be generated here with something as simple as erecting trellises on the west and east sides of the garden to block the sunlight and generate a dappled shade effect on the area below.
Shade can also be created with outdoor buildings like gazebos and pergolas.
