We had put in this stacked stonewall in October.  Happily for us all the client was ready to move on in December with plants!

For this installation, we met the clients at Colesville nursery to pull specific conifers.  We had looked on line, but there are so many new hybrids and variations of color, texture, and growth habit that it is best to actually see the plant up close and personal for a good architectural blend.

Their space on the side of their house is narrow and hot.  While the front hs a bit of shade.  We used conifers, some hollies, and large pots to create a stunning look. The blue conifers in the pots will be pruned each spring like a large bonsai.

Drive by and see what you think.  You can’t miss it.
