Main Features:

The front foundation is a beautiful, welcoming, and artistically designed garden. It features evergreen plants that provide green all year long with a variety of textures, growth habits, and four-season interest. Flowering shrubs frame the evergreens.

There is a visual treat provided every season of this front foundation garden, and it is never bare in the winter. The Encore Azaleas bloom in the spring, summer, and fall, and the fall blooming Camellia provides an additional splash of color just in time for the holidays.

The hydrangea, azaleas, perennials, and grasses provide a traditional, colorful style.

Nellie Stevens Holly were used to create a dense and attractive year-round green ‘screen’ providing privacy and a border in the backyard between properties. Some transplants and enhancements were completed in the backyard.
