Bush and Shrub Landscaping

Bush and Shrub Landscaping

Lawn care through bush and shrub landscaping is a smart way to increase the beauty of your property.

The difference between a bush and shrub is their foliage.  A shrub can be taller than a bush, but not as tall as a tree and have thicker foliage than a bush. A shrub can be groomed, pruned, and shaped while a bush is usually left to grow wild.

Along with trees, shrubs are considered the backbone of landscaping because they provide structure.  The good news about shrubs is you can plant them in more areas then trees, and you can transplant them easier should you change your mind on how your lawn should look.
