I am often asked by clients, what is the best way to address areas that have extensive tree growth? Many homes and cabins in Minnesota have these areas in the landscape where there is a grove of trees, deciduous or evergreen and not much else other than weeds and sticks. These areas are called woodlands and can often have an unkempt look. Woodland areas generally have several obstacles to overcome when deciding to dress them up. One is that they generally do not receive vast amounts of sunlight due to the dense foliage of the trees. This limits the choice and scope of plant material you can use. Second, woodlands are generally located toward the back of the property. This provides a beautiful backdrop or nice view, but when looking up close it leads us to our third obstacle, the woodland often looks messy and unorganized.
There are several ways that one can dress up a woodland garden. You want to start by coming up with a plan on how to tackle the area. You can do this on your own or hire a professional. You want to figure out the size of the area you will tackle, what is there? What do you want to enhance? What do you want to hide? Decide on parameters for the project and then decide on a budget. The budget does not have to be huge, you could just decide that you want to spend a weekend clearing out some of the debris and then spend $100.00 on annuals to add some color. Or you could decide that you want to add some unique features like a patio or bubbling fountain, the choice is yours.
We all have that area in our landscape that completely bakes in the Minnesota summer heat all day long. It is almost impossible to grow anything there and if it happens to be turf, it looks dead 2 months out of the year. Well no more brown grass and half dead plants, there are simple things you can incorporate to give a more pleasing effect to those high heat, full-sun areas. Again you want to start with a plan. Ask yourself some questions, how large is the area? Is it close to a water source? (meaning can a hose reach or is there irrigation) do you want to establish a bedline or do you want a more natural look?
Once you have established the goals of your project there are some simple things you can do to add interest to the area. One easy way is to incorporate drought tolerant perennials and shrubs. These plants are adapted to high heat and often do very well after established with little maintenance. Some of the best choices for perennials are black eyed susans, ornamental grasses, and sedum. These plants have unique flowering and foliage characteristics that when used in combination can add color and interest to the area. Drought tolerant shrubs are a good choice in combination with the perennials to add more visual attention to the space. Some good ones are barberry, spirea, and junipers.
