A Guide to Winter Landscaping 

1. Bright Fruit & Berries

Many fruit trees and bushes don’t lose their bright adornment as the weather grows colder. As a bonus, fruits and berries of this type often attract birds and wildlife which will keep your yard cheerful. Winterberry holly is a classic option, with red berries which provide a beautiful counterpoint to green leaves and white snow. Other examples include members of the crabapple family.


2. Colorful Branches

Even without fruit, many trees and plants stand out in the winter. The lacebark elm offers a beautiful palette of tans and greens instead of fading to grey or black as some trees do in cold weather. Redosier dogwood bushes and sequoia are also vibrant options, producing striking red tones. Trim these trees and bushes into attractive shapes for added flair. 


3. Evergreens

Another classic choice, evergreens maintain their foliage all year long and can provide a captivating patch of green against a snow-covered landscape. Blue spruce and jack pine are just two options from this family of trees.
