A: Grasses, lavender and other planted on berms and hills
A: "One-off" planting
A: "One-off" planting with planting that grows in our hardiness zone. This is where there is an assortment of many types of plants dispersed throughout the site. Often this is done in phased design or if it is preferred to have a multitude of a variation in planting.
A: More naturalistic planting style. A complex massing of native-style planting

A: Good examples of mass planting with shade tolerant plantings. In the Coastal BC region, plants like hostas and ferns thrive in shady environments.
A: West Coast planting with tree uplighting and yew hedging
A: Monoculture planting. When you only use 1 or a select few plants throughout the landscape. It can have some really cool effects, though we don't usually recommend this option as everything is beautiful for a time, but then everything looks bad / dead at the same time as well
A: Neutral grasses and low groundcover plantings to make feature trees, boulders, or other larger plants really pop out.
A: Modern grass planting on layered retaining walls
A: This is mass planting. A bit to the extreme extent where they are really large masses and even the same height. Typically we encourage mass planting to a bit of a lesser extent than this image with more varying interest throughout the year.
