PLANT LISTS

Wondering what plant or tree would be perfect in your yard?  You can imagine that we get asked that question quite frequently.  That is why we have compiled the below lists of trees, shrubs, ground covers and lawn substitutes based on water usage and need fulfillment in the landscape.
DROUGHT TOLERANT SHADE AND PATIO TREES
These drought tolerant shade trees are perfect for low-maintenance,
low water usage gardens that could use some extra shade.  They are
also great for taking center stage on patios.
DROUGHT TOLERANT SCREEN PLANTS
These screen plants will provide privacy from neighbors while being a low cost and low-maintenance alternative to fencing.  Once established, all of these screen trees and shrubs are deer resistant and require little water.
