Planting Design & Installation at Nichols Elementary School in Stratford, CT


Shannon Landscaping recently completed a planting design & installation project in Stratford, CT at Nichols Elementary School, creating a welcoming and refreshed landscape just in time for the new school year.



Our team began with professional landscape removal, clearing out old, overgrown plants that were crowding the beds. We then prepared the soil and installed a mix of ornamental shrubs, hydrangeas, roses, and hardy perennials for year-round color and interest.

To complete the project, we applied a layer of dark, nutrient-rich mulch to protect the plantings, retain soil moisture, and deliver a crisp, polished finish.

Plants Featured in This Project:

  • Double Knock Out Rose (Rosa ‘Double Knock Out’)
  • Hoogendorn Holly (Ilex crenata ‘Hoogendorn’)
  • Limelight Prime Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight Prime’)
  • Cat’s Pajamas Nepeta (Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’)


The end result is a clean, vibrant landscape that enhances curb appeal and provides a lasting first impression for students, staff, and visitors.
