The Design Challenge
The client required an extremely low-maintenance garden that would:
Stay visually appealing year-round
Be easy to manage during winter snow piling
Use only evergreens and grasses
Maintain the existing garden shape for functional reasons
Our Solution: Low-Maintenance Evergreen Garden Design
After multiple design renderings, we created a balanced planting plan featuring contrasting evergreen textures and heights, complemented by ornamental grasses for softness and movement.
To make the greenery stand out, we topped the garden with river rock, allowing the varying green tones to pop while also improving drainage and reducing maintenance. The garden scale was slightly increased to create a stronger focal point without impacting winter functionality.
Results: Year-Round Curb Appeal with Minimal Maintenance
The finished front garden delivers drainage-friendly performance, visual interest in all seasons, and virtually maintenance-free upkeep. The result is a clean, modern landscape that enhances curb appeal while remaining practical year-round.
