Planters in your landscape

Planters are an underused addition to the landscape.  They are a great way to dress up a patio, deck or a front door.  Planters can add an architectural element as well as providing you with a low maintenance way to add color and interest to your landscape. One of my favorites uses is to put "fireworks" fountain grass in planters on either side of your front door.  It is a bright red grass that adds a tremendous amount of color and interest to a landscape and they look wonderful in a planter.  They are an annual in our climated and make for a simple and inexpensive way to make a statement in your landscape.  They retail for around $15.00.  If you want to freshen up your front door, pick up a couple of planters from Loll Designs for $114.00 each, a bag of soil, and two "fireworks" fountain grass and you have created a bold new look for less than $270.  It is quick, easy and fun.  The best part is the planters are made from a recycled poly and will last for years and you can put something fun and different in them next year for another new look.  For more ideas or information on ordering planters and plants contact Apex Landscape today!
