Often considered the backdrop of your home, your landscape can also very much be the focal point that draws the gaze of every passerby. After all, it is that valuable first impression that gives ‘curb appeal’ its name and often leads to the reputation of your home and its perceived worth. But aside from adding overall value, your landscape can also provide comfort, calm, and everyday charm to your family.

Mind you, everyone’s landscape is different, but most are usually made up of the trees we plant, flowers, and everything in between. But it can also include birdhouses, beehives, pavers, even fire pits. What’s most important is that your landscape fits your taste and lifestyle.

Landscape Options

We mentioned a few landscape features already, but there are many more to choose from! These include planting beds, borders, shrubs, herbs, grass, flowering trees, drainage improvement, pavers, walkways, and more. That’s the true beauty, there’s so much to choose!

Plan Your Landscape

Our team at Garden Supply always stresses to homeowners not to over-plan. You might want all the colors and options all at once. But before long, it’s easy for your landscape to become overcrowded. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to get all your ‘bones’ in first, then come back seasonally and find new things to add. The idea is to achieve harmony over time. For many gardeners, it starts to become a true artform that rewards patience!

Choose Plants Wisely

When it comes to choosing the right plants for your landscape, it’s important to observe the locations closely before making any final decisions. There’s so much science behind plants. There are plants that need to be in the shade but also need to be wet. There are plants that need to be in the shade and need to be dry. There are full-sun plants as well. As we say, it’s always best to be in the know before you begin to grow!

Know the Climate

At Garden Supply Co., we know what works best in our North Carolina climate and will select the correct plants for you and your landscape. We specialize in plantings of all types including trees, perennial and shrub borders and drought resistant plants. There are multiple options for nearly every landscape situation!  We offer a variety of landscape services, from helping you to select the perfect plants, to a full landscape design and installation.

Keep Inventory in Mind

Too often, the plants you want or need to replace are no longer available at your typical landscaping company. Keep this in mind when buying your plants or other gardening supplies.
