Upland Plantings


Materials and Tools needed varies by project.
Trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses in the upland landscape can serve many purposes from shade, to access control, to framing views, to providing wildlife habitat. Upland planting can provide:
• Wildlife Habitat & Food
• Shade
• Access
• Views
• Fall Color
• Erosion Control

You may choose to plant trees, shrubs, flowers and seed or sod on your property for a variety of reasons. You may want to define your property boundary, or maybe you want to provide shade over a patio. Regardless of the reason, there are some considerations that you should take into account. Always consider using native plants when possible as they are suited for survival in your area and they are much less likely to become invasive.
