Landscape selection is one of the most important decisions made when designing your property or development project. The concept of planting the right plant, particularly “the right tree in the right place” is critical to creating a sustainable landscape design. Since most trees have the potential to outlive the people who plant them, the proper selection can have a significant influence on the success or failure of the design.
