Low-maintenance landscape choices
for your smallest spaces
More and more people are asking about trees and shrubs that fit a tight space or fill a hole in their landscape. They’re looking for hardy, native varieties that are slow-growing and/or compact, cutting down on prune time and the sprawling, leggy look we’ve all seen in neglected landscapes.
We turn to these trees and shrubs for their blooms, four-season interest and drought tolerance as much as their compact size and shape. Here’s what you need to know to fight the right ones for you:
