Custom Landscape Planting Project in Stratford, CT

Creating a beautiful, cohesive landscape requires more than adding new plants. It takes thoughtful design, strategic plant selection, and detail‑oriented finishing work that brings the entire property together.

For this Stratford residence, Shannon Landscaping completed a full planting installation and seasonal pruning project designed to add color, structure, and long‑lasting curb appeal. By combining vibrant perennials with established trees and fresh red mulch, we transformed the front landscape into a clean, welcoming, and visually balanced space.

A Tailored Planting Design

This planting project focused on blending high‑impact color with low‑maintenance structure, using plant varieties chosen specifically for their performance in Connecticut’s climate.

Plant selections included:

• Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ — compact, long‑blooming purple color that softens bed edges

• BloomStruck Endless Summer Hydrangeas — reliable reblooming hydrangeas with bold blue tones

• Perovskia ‘Blue Jean Baby’ (Russian Sage) — upright, airy texture that adds movement and contrast

• Premium red mulch — a fresh, clean backdrop that highlights the plant colors and defines the beds

Each plant was placed intentionally to create depth, balance, and season‑long interest while complementing the home’s existing landscape features.

Seasonal Pruning for a Cohesive Finish

To complete the project, our team performed summer pruning on the property’s mature red maple trees. This selective pruning:

• Cleaned up overgrowth

• Improved structure and airflow

• Enhanced visibility of the new planting beds

• Helped tie the entire landscape together for a polished final appearance

The combination of new plantings and refreshed tree structure created a unified, well‑maintained look that elevates the property’s curb appeal.

Attention to Detail, Start to Finish

Every step of this project was completed with the same level of care we bring to all residential landscapes. From soil preparation and plant placement to crisp bed edges and final cleanup. The result is a vibrant, cohesive planting design that will continue to grow fuller and more beautiful each season.
