The Role of Plant Texture and Color in Landscape Design

Plant texture and color play a crucial role in landscape design by creating visual interest, depth, and mood in outdoor spaces. Different textures—from the smooth leaves of a hosta to the coarse needles of a pine—can establish contrast or harmony, while a thoughtful palette of colors can highlight focal points, complement architectural features, and evoke seasonal changes. At Alderland, we specialize in integrating diverse plant textures and colors to enhance the aesthetic and functional value of your backyard. Our experienced team carefully selects and arranges plantings that not only thrive in the SF Bay Area climate but also align with your design vision, ensuring a balanced and inviting landscape that beautifully complements custom pool and outdoor living environments.
