Trees, Shrubs & Hedges for Your Home: Secrets for Selection and Care (Landscaping)
Landscape professionals regard trees, shrubs, and hedges as the "bones," or essential framework, of any landscape design. The trick is to select the best plants for your growing conditions - plants that also look good together.
This book shows you how to
- Select plants that will improve your property's appearance and value
- Design for four-season interest, color, and beauty
- Create harmonious relationships of color, scale, and texture
- Save money over the long term by selecting cultivars engineered for your conditions
- Improve soil and growing conditions
- Plant and transplant with confidence
- Prune and shear plants for beauty and long life
Full-color throughout, this comprehensive guide clearly illustrates all procedures while also providing descriptions of over 1,000 of the best plants - "best" because they're beautiful, low-maintenance, pest- and disease-resistant, and available at local nurseries and home centers.
