Plantings
Provide as rich a variety of plantings - trees, shrubs, groundcover, and grass areas - as possible. Anticipate mature sizes and avoid crowding trees, shrubs and buildings. Use hardy, native species of trees and plants that are well suited to the project location and are easy to water and maintain.

The trees planted along the sidewalk of this Richmond, Virginia project provide a nice balance to the houses and the shrubs in front of them. Note that the trees have been placed far enough apart so that they will not crowd each other once mature.
