Shade trees are large deciduous trees that form a major part of the foundation of your yard. Serious thought should be given to the placement of shade trees as they are an investment in the future of your home. Consider shade trees on the south side, where they will shade your home from summer sun but let the light shine through during the cold winter months.
Ornamental trees are generally smaller than shade trees and are considered understory trees. These trees can provide flowers, fruit or berries, foliage color and other interesting characteristics. They usually grow between 10-30 feet in height and width.
Evergreen trees, like pines, Spruces, Fir trees become large specimens and provide screening, windbreaks and structure in the landscape.
Deciduous Shrubs loose their leaves during the winter but provide flowers, berries and leaf color during different times of the year. The different varieties can grow to sizes from 1-15 feet tall and from 2 to 10 feet wide and everything in between. This category of plants lets us be the most creative when designing landscapes.
Flowering evergreen shrubs are plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, and Andromeda. These shrubs come in many different color flowers and grow a lot of different sizes.
Evergreen shrubs that do not flower are used as foundation plants, backgrounds, specimens, or groundcovers. Examples are yews, Japanese hollies, arborvitae and junipers.
Herbaceous plants include many other types of plants like perennials, annuals bulbs and tubers.
