Increase Profits by Adding Landscaping

Before the landscaping additions.

Color! Color! Color! This is a relatively small pond, but the colors of the perennials and the annuals make it appear larger than life.

Before the landscaping additions.

Having a few existing, mature trees doesn’t hurt. To enhance the waterfall, we chose to frame it with more shrubs and accent it with some color, as seen in the Firecracker in the foreground.

Using Realtime Landscape Photo, I took the “pile of rocks” and showed the customer how the project would look with properly placed landscaping.

These are the "after" results using the Realtime Landscape Photo software.

Without additional landscaping, the pond looks very spartan.

Making a perfectly flat backyard look like a stream belongs can be a challenge. But by bordering the sides of the waterfall with large bushes and grasses, a more natural appearance comes out.

Landscape design 101: Be sure that the plants in the foreground do not block the focal point behind them. Here dwarf daylilies and lilyturf will stay low so that the view of the waterfall and pond are not obscure.
