Ventura Landscape Design – Foliage: Vibrant Color and Striking Texture

A well executed design will bring drama to any space by considering not only plant choices, but careful plant layout as determined by a number of factors. If you want a striking landscape that draws attention and admiration, it’s not only about flower power.

Sure, flowers are beautiful, but there are other means to bring attention to your landscape. Plants with contrasting foliage color and texture will bring drama to your garden. Massing, by grouping similar plants together with similar water needs will bring interest and sustainability to your garden while keeping in mind the layering of differently grouped plants depending on the plants area width. Lower planting up to two feet high is great near a lawn or landscape edge, while taller plants work well deeper in planter beds or near the house or wall. This will create a graceful transition from the low landscape to the tall house or property wall.
