A Look at Landscape Design

This new condo development took a unique approach to Landscape architecture. After removing the existing vegetation from the former rental property, they added this lush paradise. Here we have countless plant species of varying shapes and sizes. They are all contained within the tight boundary of this planting strip and with the wonderful backdrop of one of my favorite new colors, light brown! I love seeing this desert color up here in the Northwest. This building also has a darker shade of brown as well! This wonderful palette has been appearing all over and I hope to capture some images of its proliferation soon. In a few short years, the conifers, spaced approximately 12 inches on center, will grow to provide aple shade from the sun and protect the north side units from the summer wind.
