Landscaping May Follow Trends
But Basic Guides Are Reliable
Americans seemed to be land
scaping their homes more now than
ever. According to some industry- es
timates, the average residential land
scape will be "changed" or re-land
scaped once every seven years! 1 am
not convinced these figures apply to
eastern North Carolina but they cer
tainly arc not too far off.
As a horticulturist, I see landscape
design in terms of plant epochs, pe
riods of time in which plants of one
species totally dominate home or
commercial landscapes. These plant
epochs began when a plant is intro
duced and for one reason or another
catches the fancy of homeowners,
commercial nurseryman and land
scape designers. A plant epoch usu
ally ends when folks get tired of see
ing the plant or a cold spell, disease
or insect problem so damages planti
ngs that maintenance becomes im
practical.
The Jate '60s and early '70s were
highlighted by the Arborvitae Epoch
in which arborvitae and junipers do
minated the landscape scene. The
"Redtip" Epoch began in the mid
1970s continues into the 1990s but
plantings arc declining rapidly due
to the spread of cntomosporiurn
blight. The present "Leyland Cyp
ress Epoch" is under full steam and
based upon past history will last an
other 10 to 12 years.
Clothing, architecture, and land
scaping (including plant selection)
styles change with the times. How
ever, a landscape carefully designed
for your needs will function and en
dure regardless of plant fads.

most N.C. Extension offices or by
sending me a SASE.
Here arc some tips that should
help in designing that home land
scape:
?Design for maintenance. A land
scape design that cannot be ade
quately maintained is a mess. Keep
the design simple.
?Divide your outdoor space into
discrete use areas (For example, the
front lawn is the public area, the rear
yard a private area, etc...). Think of
your yard in terms of use.
?The landscape design should com
plement and soften the architectural
design of the residence. The land
scape should never become the cen
ter of attention at the expense of the
residence.
?The front door should be the pri
mary focal point in the public area.
Any plant, planting or pink flamingo
that distracts the eye from the front
door is too strong a focal point.
?Use form, color and texture to
your advantage. Conical shaped
plants arc more attention getting
than softly rounded plants. Hot col
ors, like red, attract more attention
than the blues or pastel colors.
Coarse textured plants such as mag
nolia, aucuba and fatsia attract more
attention than fine textured plants
such as junipers, yaupon holly and
boxwood.
?Use "cool' colors like whites,
blues or pastels around decks,
porches and patios. Cool colors gen
erally work best around leisure areas
in which people will be sitting or re
laxing. Hot colors work best if used
for "attention getters" or to empha
size a focal point in the landscape.
?Ever try to hide a utility box or air
conditioner? The most successful
landscapeis use fine- or medium
textured evergreen foliagcd plants
such as junipers, elacagnus or
yaupon holly to hide ugly utility
structures or similar structures).
Never use a flowering plant to
hide something. A showy planting
such as azaleas will draw special at
tention to the objcct you are trying
to hide when the plant is flowering.
The best camouflage is to set up a
strong focal point adjacent to or
away from the objcct you arc trying
to hide.
?Planting dircctly around the base
of pine trees causcs the base and
vertical trunk of the pine tree to be
come a very strong focal point. Plant
in large "amoeba-like" islands
around pines if plantings are needed.
?Always use curvilinear lines for
defining walks, flower beds or mass
plantings. Straight lines have cor
ners and edges which can become
undesirable strong focal points.
?Use native or naturalized plant ma
terials whenever possible.
