These enhance the beauty of any structure by complementing the architectural texture and design. Some examples of foundation plants are Spreading Junipers, Yews, Barberry, Holly, and Spiraea.

Hedge and Screen Plants - These provide privacy when planted in masses. They reduce noise, act as a wind break and provide protection. Upright Junipers, Hicks Yew,RoseGlow Barberry, Pyracantha and Privet are just a few examples.

Low Growing or Dwarf Plants - They can prevent erosion, are low maintenance, slow growing and mature in a small area. Liriope, Carex, Hosta, Blue Chip Juniper, Crimson Pygmy Barberry are just a few.
