Landscape design is one of the most important components when it comes to creating curb appeal. While most of us strive to create lush flower beds and elegant landscaping around our homes, our busy lifestyles often leave little time for yard work. Lucky for us, professionals are always available to offer top-notch advice on how to create the perfect landscape for our lifestyles.
Jeff Blunkosky, owner of Pittsburgh Stone & Waterscapes says it is important to consider planting trees and shrubs that require low maintenance. “Good privacy trees such as the Green Giant evergreen is a great tree that requires little maintenance and is deer resistant,” he says.
As for landscaping shrubs or bushes, Blunkosky says you can’t go wrong with boxwoods. “The boxwood is such a great foundation plant. It is a slow grower and a great accent plant for bordering a patio or walkway.”
