Light shaping of up to (5) shrubs, or structural pruning of up to (3) shrubs

A light, intentional cut used during establishment to maintain access and clarity while a lower-growing plant community takes hold.

Landscape plugs are small, well-rooted plants (primarily perennials, with some trees and shrubs) selected for efficient, large-scale installation. Plugs are cost-effective, quick to establish, and well-suited for creating diverse, resilient plantings over time.

Spacing, site preparation, and early care (watering and weed management) are critical to successful establishment and full coverage.

Three perennials that thrive in the same conditions and offer complementary flowers, form, and foliage.
