We often discuss what’s trendy or outdated in home design, from interior decor to curb appeal. While manicured lawns are giving way to more natural designs, there’s one landscaping trend that experts hope will disappear for good.
Meet Adam Millhouse, co-founder of Millhouse Howell Landscape Company, who emphasizes the importance of avoiding overcrowded plantings in your yard. Overplanting may look good initially, but as plants grow, they can become tangled and difficult to manage.
To avoid a messy landscape and potential damage to your home, give your plants room to breathe. Strategic plant placements, a variety of heights, and proper spacing can create a beautiful and sustainable outdoor space.
Overcrowding plants not only affects the appearance of your landscape but can also lead to maintenance issues and additional costs. By following expert advice and allowing your plants space to thrive, you can maintain a stylish and healthy outdoor environment.
