Landscaping tips for Home Improvement



Home of Texas  A&M, the city of Bryan College Station has become a favorite place to live among Texans looking to get away from the bigger cities. With home sales performing well at this time, it can be easy to overlook a few good landscaping tips that can bring out the best of any home and push your listings into the “sold” category. The central to southeast Texas climate can be from one extreme to the other and here are a few really good hearty plants for landscaping that not only look great but thrive in the climate as well.


For hedges, you can’t beat Evergreen or Japanese Boxwoods for their durability and drought resistant qualities. Both only grow to about 3-4 feet in height and width and trim up nicely. Japanese Boxwoods even make great anchor plants if you wish to plant smaller plants in the area as well.


For homes with longer driveways, you could give it a touch of Tuscany with a column or two of Italian Cypress trees. These trees only grow about three feet per year and can survive in even the harshest of conditions.


If you have a few places that would look really nice with a touch of shrubbery but get too much direct sunlight, you could use Indian Hawthorne to give the area that perfect touch of greenery as well as the beautiful flowers they produce.


Finding the perfect landscaping plants and flowers can often turn an ordinary home into an easy sale with just a few easy touches. Just make sure your selections can survive the often harsh central Texas climate.
