Selecting plants in professional nurseries, and only !
The success of a landscaping intervention strongly depends on the design, but also on the selection of plants.
Therefore, it is important to spend enough time at the nurseries in order to tag the right plants. Eventually, a design doesn’t mention the name of the trees, but only their shape, their color, or their particularities (deciduous, evergreen, lush foliage, shady, tone of green, shape of leaves, …). And it’s only at the nursery that the choice is made depending on what plant material is available at the time of the project. Tagging trees should be considered as an important matter.
We only order plants in professional nurseries, where plants have been well shaped by a regular trimming, and properly watered and feeded. They are too many nurseries that go too fast on the growing phase in order to sell quicker. As a result, branches are weak and tree structure is badly formed. Money wise, it is cheaper to buy through a landscape contractor rather than buying by yourself in the ‘next door nursery’ or the garden center of your area such as H… D… for instance. So, Trust the professional landscape contractor. Don’t make the mistake of buying plant material by yourself. You would be loosing the investment you put in the design, and would get an average result: twisted trees, slow growing hedges, smaller plants, unprofessional tree shape, weak foliage, …
Professional nurseries are opened to professional landscapers.They will bring you the best plant material.
