garden design basics planting ideas

Ever stopped to marvel at the timeless allure of evergreens in your garden?

Whether sporting needle-like foliage or broad, leafy greens, these stalwart champions bring year-round vibrance to our outdoor space. But if your garden feels a bit, well, blah during the winter months, fret not!

We're diving into three genius ways to sprinkle that evergreen magic and transform your outdoor oasis into a year-round beauty.

Ready to infuse your garden with a dose of evergreen pizzazz? Let's make it happen! 

 

Tip #1: Use evergreens to create 'structure' in your garden, aka the backbone of your yard

Think of evergreens as your garden's trusted best friends - whether they're the majestic conifers or the lush, leafy types. 

Evergreen plants are called structural plants for a reason: they create permanence, mass, and greenery for your garden all year round. Evergreens are like the superheroes of the garden world, bringing that much-needed structure, aka the backbone, to your outdoor space.

You could use evergreens to give your garden height differences from creeping plants to height columnar conifers and everything in between. With these different form masses of green, you'll add lots of texture, form, and visual interest to your yard. 

Are you dreaming of a secret garden nook or want to spotlight your favorite garden spot? Evergreen plants have got your back, creating secluded spots and framing breathtaking views that invite you to meander or let your gaze leisurely explore every corner.

 

 

Tip #2: Engaging blend of evergreens with garden features and structures

Evergreens are your secret weapon when it comes to creating a picture-perfect paradise. It's about striking that perfect balance between sturdy structures and lush greenery.

Picture this: hard landscaping and evergreens work hand in hand to lay the foundation for your garden's wow factor. It's all about finding that sweet spot where rugged meets verdant. Because, let's be real, a garden filled with just concrete and stone? Not exactly inviting! Look for a balance using hard landscaping and evergreens together to create good bones for your garden.

When you pair garden features like trellises, pergolas, or cozy garden benches with trusted evergreens, you're not just creating a summer garden—you're crafting an outdoor space that has a year-round charm. It's all about adding that extra dash of permanent greenery, giving your garden those oh-so-enticing focal points that beckon you to wander and explore all year round.

But wait, there is more: Evergreens are the ultimate wingman for your blooming shrubs and flowers, creating a stunning backdrop that makes those colors pop! Think about an abundant perennial flowerbed in a rainbow of colors against a dark green-clipped yew hedge. Isn't that a marvelous sight?

 

 

Tip #3: Create natural-looking privacy screens with evergreens

Ready to add a touch of privacy to your outdoor space? Say hello to your new best friend: tall, graceful evergreens! Evergreen plants aren't just pretty—they're your ticket to year-round privacy that's as natural as charming.

Evergreens are highly valuable as privacy screens, standing tall and proud regardless of the season. And here's the best part: Unlike their deciduous counterparts, evergreens are in it for the long haul, keeping those needles and leaves intact year-round. 

Evergreens look natural and charming all year round. You can also use them with other plants or garden structures or as a sleek clipped hedge.

So, when choosing your evergreens to guard your private paradise, choose hardy plants you can trust in the long run. With the correct picks, you'll add a layer of privacy and a hefty dose of green goodness to your outdoor haven.
