Landscape Beds: How Professionals Choose What to Plant

Choosing the perfect plants for your landscape beds in Jackson, Cass, and Johnson County requires expert knowledge and an understanding of local conditions. Kohler Pool and Landscape Construction professionals take a comprehensive approach to ensure that your garden looks beautiful and thrives throughout the seasons.

Soil and Climate Adaptability

When picking the best plants for your landscape beds, you first need to evaluate your soil’s pH and drainage capabilities. For example, heavy clay soils common in the region may benefit from plants with deep root systems that can handle wet conditions, while well-draining soils might support more drought-tolerant species.

Climate considerations, such as the average high and low temperatures and when the last frost is expected, also play a crucial role in plant selection. Experts often recommend native plants, as they are naturally adapted to local conditions and more resilient.

Understanding how much sunlight each area of your landscape bed receives throughout the day is essential. Plants are then selected based on their light requirements to ensure they grow optimally and are categorized into full sun, partial shade, or full shade zones. For example, hostas thrive in shaded areas, while coneflowers and daylilies are ideal for sunny spots.

Landscape Beds that Pop Year-Round

To maintain visual appeal year-round, professionals incorporate a mix of plants that provide different textures, colors, and blooms throughout the seasons. This might include evergreen shrubs for winter greenery, spring-blooming bulbs, summer perennials, and fall foliage plants. This approach ensures your landscape beds remain dynamic and engaging throughout the year.

To make your landscape beds beautiful and manageable, experts often choose low-maintenance plants requiring minimal pruning, fertilization, and pest control. This allows you to enjoy a lush garden without a significant time commitment.
