After Hours Escape

This homeowner wanted privacy and a lush landscape with varying textures and flowers on a year-round basis. We surrounded the property with mature 18-foot Robin Hollies and then created layering by adding clumps of Needle Palms and fall/winter blooming Camillas. Gardinas were added for fragrance and tree-form hollies were added as accent points.
