The Landscape







Whether you have on old home or a new one you will benefit from trees and shrubs. Deciduous trees such as maples shade your property in the summer from intense heat and in the winter allow the sun to warm your home. And evergreens planted as windbreaks allow you to use your heat more efficiently.

Landscaping and landscape design goes beyond just creating beautiful designs. And while most elements will remain what they are for years to come, the one thing that most do it yourselfers and some professionals overlook is the space that tiny little sprouts will occupy when they become mature plants and trees.

You need to keep in mind the mature size of trees in proportion to the size of your home and other landscaping elements. Large trees can dwarf a small home and small trees can look like shrubs placed around a very large home. Know the mature size of trees and keep them in perspective.

Here are some favorites we have available here in our Nursery:
