FORMAL GARDENS
Formal Gardens are a centuries-old concept of shaping hedges into crisp lines and patterns to create breathtaking, intricate designs. They are typically a defined space with paths radiating out from a central focal point, like a fountain or sculpture. They can have traditional, renaissance-type designs or they may be very modern. Both styles use the same principles of clean lines and patterns, so they blend well together.

Hedges are also an effortless way to add curb-appeal. They can be used thoughtfully to make a small space more useful and seem larger by creating garden “rooms” around plantings and lawn spaces. Hedges are also an excellent way to highlight flowers and other plants in the landscape. Driveways and patios are given instant peace, beauty, and privacy when lined with hedges.

Urban Gardens present special challenges, as they require all plants used in the limited space to be multifunctional and versatile. Plants that thrive in containers are important, and tolerance of pollution and foot traffic are huge bonuses.
