Shade Landscaping

We also need to remember that some of the areas in our landscape may receive full sun in summer but during the spring and fall they will receive We still have a choice here by trimming back the trees and shrubs to create more sun or plant shade landscape plants. Our sun loving plants are having a difficult time staying alive so we need to move them to a better area and we need to have some shade tolerant landscaping planted in that area. Many of us have been living in our houses for 15, 20 or even 30 years and many of those shrubs and trees have given us plenty of shade. Our landscape requirements will change over time; what was sunny two years ago has now become very shady.

We need to figure out which areas of our landscape get the sun and how much it gets per day.Once we determine that our plant buying will become a lot easier. Usually when we visit a garden nursery we forget to consider that what we need are shade loving plants and we end up purchasing plants that need more sun than our yard has to offer. When a plant dies in our dim backyard it is because it was probably a plant that could not handle all the shade. Planning ahead before planting is the key to success. Shade landscaping will work in a dim backyard that has many areas that do not receive much sun.

To plant some shade landscaping effectively research is needed for shade tolerance plants.
