Mature Weeping Cherry	Classic Elegance The simplicity of the boxwood planting accents by small flowering dogwoods is beautiful	Nandina and Hydrangea Nandina provides gorgeous spring green followed by steely green then brilliant red and orange in the fall. The Hydrangeas will bloom from early summer to frost in blue, pink, and purple.

Boulder Perennial Garden Boulders and sun-loving drought tolerant perennials make an easy care colorful garden	Mugo Pine and Dwarf Hameln Grass River Jack, boulders, dwarf grasses and dwarf Mugo Pine combine for a nautical theme	IMG_1768.JPG
Perennials This newly planted perennial garden will soon fill in to soften and anchor the huge boulders	Green Giant Arborvitae Green Giant Arborvitate are wonderful screening plants. A much better choice here than the often over used Leyland Cypress.	Foundation Planting Clean and traditional. These dwarf evergreen shrubs provide color year round and will never overpower the low profile of the porch, even at full maturity.
Entry Planting This lovely semi dwarf tree under-planted with low growing Blue Star Junipers and perennials will provide color in all seasons for visitors.	Perennial Foundation Planting This client requested a low maintenance perennial and annual garden instead of a traditional foundation planting. Specimen evergreens anchor the planting year round. As these plants mature and fill in the garden will provide loads of color as you step in the side door, and the garden will literally maintain itself.	Perennial Foundation Planting Annuals provide constant color in this newly planted garden from spring to frost as the perennials fall in and out of bloom. Located in the foreground, they are easy to plant in the spring.

Foundation Planting A lovely flowering Crape Myrtle softens the corner of this house while providing year round interest. The simple line of Beauty Berry anchors the structure to the landscape.	Renovation The addition of a new walkway, steps and refurbished plantings transformed a once tired entry to a beautiful welcoming space.
Curving Classic Replacing an old cracked straight concrete walkway with a simple smooth curving paver walk adds impact and appeal to this homes entry.

Welcome to Garden Song Design

Hello,

I'm Paula Simons, Landscape Designer and Professional Horticulturist. Garden Song Design was created as a natural progression following my many years of work and education in the Garden and Nursery Industry. I have experience with all types of landscape improvements from perennial gardens and foundations plantings to walkways and water features. Helping people combine the appreciation and beauty of nature while enhancing the value and appearance of their property is the driving force in all of my designs and projects. I love working with people and enjoy finding creative solutions to their everyday landscape issues.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the amazing transformations that can be achieved by using plants, mulch, and hardscaping while following a carefully planned design. Creating a landscape that reflects the homeowners needs and desires is my specialty. Over 20 years in the nursery industry has enabled me to form lasting working relationships with premium quality nurseries, suppliers, masons, electricians, and contractors. It is these connections that allow me to produce superior quality work. No job is too small or large when you have the right team. When you hire Garden Song Design you know that your best interests and preferences are a priority. I am with you every step of the way, from choosing the highest quality plants, supplies, and contractors, to spreading that last yard of mulch.

Hardscaping

"Hardscaping" is the term we use in the landscaping industry for any work involving stone, pavers, concrete, block or gravel. From a simple walkway to an expansive patio, no single element makes a more dramatic change in the appearance, functionality, and value of a landscape than hardscaping. The task of successfully installing a walkway, patio, or retaining wall requires careful planning, high quality supplies and expert craftsmanship.

Let Garden Song Design help you complete your hardscaping project correctly for the first and last time. My contractors have years of experience in all phases of hardscaping and all of the work is guaranteed. With careful planning, using the best install team, high quality supplies and your input, the finished project will be everything you dreamed of at a competitive price.
