Landscaping Supplies
When taking on on a landscaping project, having the right landscape supplies is crucial for success. Here’s a breakdown of some essential supplies and where we recommend stopping by to look at their inventory.
Plants and Trees:
· Trees: Choose trees that are suitable for your climate and space. Consider factors like size, growth rate, and aesthetic appeal.
· Shrubs: Shrubs can add structure and color to your landscape. Select varieties based on their size, bloom time, and maintenance requirements.
· Flowers: Annuals, perennials, and bulbs offer a variety of colors and textures. Consider factors like sun exposure and soil conditions.
· Groundcovers: Groundcovers can fill in gaps, suppress weeds, and provide a low-maintenance ground cover. We always caution ground covers can cause long term problems there may be better options. We like Kenemore Nurseries, Stovall Nurseries, B. L. Mullinax Nursery
