Planting

Plants that like it here.

A planting plan for Nashville has to survive clay, shade from big hardwoods, and an August that can go weeks without rain. We plant for that, and warranty it.

What we plant.

Shade

Under the oaks

Oakleaf hydrangea, native ferns, wild ginger, sedges. Plants that evolved under hardwoods.

Sun and clay

Tough and beautiful

Coneflower, little bluestem, aromatic aster, black-eyed Susan. They handle clay and drought once established.

Structure

Through the winter

Boxwood where it suits the house, native hollies, serviceberry and redbud for spring.

Soil first

We test the soil on every planting project. Clay is fertile, but compacted clay drowns roots in spring and bakes them in summer. Amending the beds properly is the difference between a garden and a replacement order.

The warranty

Plants we install are warrantied through the first full growing season, on the condition that they’re watered as the plan specifies. We include irrigation in most plans for exactly that reason.
