When it comes to planting a border, we offer a range of options to suit different needs and preferences.

For gardens that get a lot of sun, they recommend planting a mix of perennials and annuals that can handle the heat. Some of the most popular options for sun-loving plants include coreopsis, echinacea, rudbeckia, and salvia. These plants thrive in well-draining soil and should be watered regularly during the summer months.

For shaded borders, we recommend a mix of plants that can handle low light conditions. Some of the most popular options for shade-loving plants include astilbe, ferns, hostas, and heuchera. These plants prefer moist soil and should be watered regularly to keep them healthy.

In addition to providing advice on the best plants for your soil type and light conditions, we also offers a range of design services to help you create a garden that’s both beautiful and functional. From selecting the right plants to designing hardscaping elements like paths and patios, they can help you create a space that’s perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the beauty of nature.
