Hedges and shrubs can be used to create beautiful and functional landscapes. Thomas Elliott and Co.’s landscape design team has plenty of ideas:

Create a formal hedge: Use a low-growing, tightly trimmed hedge to create a traditional border around a garden bed or walkway.

Create a living fence: Use taller hedges or shrubs to create a living fence that provides privacy and security around your property.

Mix and match: Combine different types of hedges and shrubs to create a layered look that adds depth and interest to your landscape.

Create a focal point: Use a large, dramatic shrub or hedge as a focal point in your landscape. Consider using flowering shrubs like hydrangeas or azaleas to add color and interest.

Define outdoor rooms: Use hedges or shrubs to define outdoor spaces in your landscape. For example, you could use a low barrier to separate a dining area from a lounging area.

Create a natural screen: Use hedges or shrubs to create a natural screen that blocks unsightly views or noise.

Use as ground cover: Use low-growing shrubs where grass won’t grow or where you want to create a low-maintenance landscape.

We choose plants that are appropriate for your climate and soil conditions and consider the ultimate size and shape of the plants when selecting them for your landscape.
