Landscape Design - Choosing Plants

Choosing the right plants and ornamental trees and bushes are essential in creating a front or backyard landscape that is both long lasting and sustainable. At Go Green we understand that plant choices can be manipulated accordingly to achieve the desired look and feel for each client. Plants can be combined and used in several ways providing solutions to specific problems such as noise control and erosion control. When choosing plants we consider every aspect of your yard in order to ascertain the best choice. Tall trees give shade while a series of sheared shrub can serve as a screen or a hedge for privacy. A wide variety of ornamental plants can be used as a focal point promoting a backyard theme or a pleasant garden ambience.

Whether plants are meant to be useful or simply as a decorative accent, proper landscaping techniques are essential to achieve a perfect balance of colors, textures and structures.
