Flowering Decorative Trees
Front Entry Landscape Design

While a good portion of flowering trees only create a display of blooms in the Spring, it's still an added plus for some seasonal interest, beauty, and that "new life" feeling that comes with Springtime. Of course, a good portion of flowering trees are also fruit trees which can be another plus for some folks and a problem for others. Fortunately, a lot of the new hybrids are fruitless or non-bearing. Just check with your nurseryman to be sure. If you're depending on the plant tag for information, do a little more homework in your plant encyclopedia to make sure.

This flower bed design appears in a lot of the pictures in this directory. Instead of just a straight border bed that outlines the entryway sidewalk, an expanded curved bed defines the entry and makes room for some larger accents or a focal point. And at the same time gives the lawn area a more interesting shape than just straight lines. In my own designs, I rarely start by trying to create lawn shape. Creating the necessary elements for the rest of the landscaping usually sets most of the shape of the lawn.
