Shrub Bed Projects
New wall, walk, shrubs, mulch and landscape lights at a new housing plan in Brighton Township
Belgian Block stood on end and buried half-way to create a great border on this bed.
A Perennial Garden in Beaver in its 2nd year.
This hillside was originally just covered in ivy. The large boulders, ornamental focal points, and lots of perennials brought this bed to life.
Garden path through a red river rock bed allows casual access to the back.
A bed designed for color.
A rock bed and plantings. In addition to the bed, the front lawn was sodded by Tuma Lawn Service.
A bed flanking the front sidewalk with small shrubs. The bed blends with the existing shrub bed around the home.
An example of a mounded shrub bed. Mounds are used to break up flat lawns. The most famous use of this technique on a larger scale are the Jefferson Mounds on the south lawn of the White House. Jefferson also used them at his home at Monticello.
A bed made up of both Shredded Bark mulch and stone. Add to that the plantings, this small bed breaks up a normal parking lot.
A colorful entrance bed to a local business. Tuma Lawn Service also installed an irrigation system on this property.
A combination bed that has depth. We used fieldstone to make the wall and red Raven Rock in the bed. Surrounding it all is shredded bark mulch.
We used timbers to hold this bed together along the property line. We then planted Rhododendrons and covered it with Lava Rock.
Small shrubs line this fence in a small back yard.
And for those who do not want a lawn! The front AND back lawn of this home was completely stripped out and re-done in different sizes of stone. This was a huge job but looks pretty good once you get over the initial shock of no grass.
