Our client was wanting to renovate her boring backyard.   A person who loves plants and likes to garden wanted to update the back yard with a new layout to where season long color could  be    grown.  She picked out some of her favorite shrubs, trees, and perennial flowers and we helped to define the garden shape and add the plantings  into a cohesive design.  We based our design on ease of maintenance and used tried and true plant material that would mature properly over time.
