Seasonal Planting and Color

Seasonal annuals, bulbs and mums that refresh beds and pots for spring, summer, fall and winter around your outdoor space.

Seasonal color gives a yard a fresh look several times a year. Spring bulbs and pansies, summer annuals, fall mums and winter greens keep entries, patios and beds lively through the calendar. Planting in the right season, with fresh soil and a little feeding, makes color last. Nashville owners plan color around entertaining seasons and holidays.

Your designer plans color for each season based on sun and style, choosing plants that bloom and last. The crew removes spent plants, refreshes soil with compost, plants for the new season, mulches and sets up simple watering. A seasonal program can be scheduled so beds are refreshed on time, and the scope lists the plants for each change. Color planning starts with the view. We think about what you see from the kitchen window, the front door and the patio, and we plant the strongest displays there. Repeating colors across beds and containers makes the yard look planned, and a few evergreens or grasses as a backbone keep things from looking empty between seasons. Fresh soil and mulch with each change help new plants establish, and we leave a short schedule of watering and feeding to keep color going. Some owners choose a seasonal program with changes in spring, summer and fall, and others prefer a single large planting in spring.
