This is an evergreen hedge with flowering plants acting as a boarder. Some plants that were used here are: begonias, hicks yews and azaleas.
There are hundreds of varieties of plants and shrubs available, and choosing varieties that suit the environment is a primary concern. Trying to grow a poorly adapted variety will result in poor results. For help in choosing a variety that is right for your location, visit our local nursery .
Container grown plants are sometimes rootbound, with a mass of roots on the outside of the soil ball. Prior to planting we remove the plant from the container, make four or five ¼-inch deep cuts from the top to the bottom of the soil mass with a sharp knife. Space the cuts evenly. This will encourage root growth outside the root ball and allow better water penetration.
We own our equipment and we meet our deadlines. We don't rely on contractors or rent or borrow equipment from other companies. This is a representative sample of one of our projects.

SHRUBS AND PLANTS
We choose plants that are sturdy and well-branched. Weak, spindling plants may indicate a poor root system. The best size for planting is 16 to 18 inches. Smaller plants are easily injured by harsh winter weather. We recommend watering newly planted azaleas as an essential, The root system is relatively shallow, so frequent watering may be required. Rhododendrons need the equivalent of one inch of rain every 7 to 10 days. Continue the watering schedule until early winter rains begin, but be careful not to allow the plants to become waterlogged. Keep in mind that backfills dry out much faster than the original soil around the plant.
