Trees & Shrubs

Trees and Shrubs Are Year-Round Players

Trees and shrubs are an invaluable part of our landscape. The environmental benefits of trees and shrubs is unsurpassed, and the species are numerous. Selecting the right species for the right environment is the key to success.

While perennials and annuals will introduce a profusion of color to all Vivid gardens, trees and shrubs should be considered the foundation plants that are a perfect solution to our desire for year-round interest. Plus, your trees and shrubs are undeniably the "conscience" players of your garden.

Providing shade while warding off the harshest elements, trees and shrubs not only perform an important environmental duty, they add balance, flow, color, intrigue and dimension to your garden environment. Complementing showy flower beds, trees and shrubs are perfect for defining borders, providing privacy and graciously hosting birds and other wildlife; conifer trees are especially effective in these areas.

Because they work well in every garden design and, can last a lifetime, some of our favorite trees and shrubs are:

Azalea (Rhododendron)
Eastern Red Bud (Cercis canadensis)
Flowering Cherry (Prunus)
Gold Dust (Aucuba japonica)
Big Leaf Hydrangea ( Hydrangea macrophylla)
Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana)

Given their natural ability to absorb harsh heat effects and urban pollutants, your trees' root system also prevents soil erosion. Trees are among the most valuable assets within your landscape.
