Habitat Garden
A energy efficient home, a lovely lot on the end of a cul-d-sac and owners wanting to surround themselves wirth nature.

An 80 ft long planting was installed to provide a privacy screen frorm a nearby house. The installation created a beautiful natural backdrop with the added bonus of attracting birds and butterflies to this otherwise open site.
The original planting was installed in the spring of 2011


A view of the plantings 2 years after installation. The owners were so pleased with the planting they chose to expand it by 50% to create more habitat.

The fourth growing season after installation the shrubs have filled in. The privacy screen is functional and the birds and owners love it.
