Annuals

Annual flowers will bring beauty and mark the change of seasons to both a homeowner and commercial property. Annual flowers also bring to life the front entry of a home and create light and excitement to shrub borders. They can also accent a water feature or restful area in your yard. Color can bring a positive image to a commercial building that will make a lasting impression on a potential client. Whether you are a residential customer or a commercial business, annual flowers will complete your landscape design. Regardless of the time of year, at A & H Landscaping, we will create your landscape design that will remain beautiful season after season after season.

When selecting annual flowers it is important that your design make a bold impact. Residential and commercial flowers planted as a mix of all colors often times come across as an argument of different colors. At A & H Landscaping, we approach annual flowers the same as a landscape design. We pay careful attention to their layouts, unique patterning, as well as simplified design. Complimentary colors, simple contrasts of textures and flowers make a great statement. Sometimes just varying two different types of flowers is enough. There is a big difference between an ordinary mix of annual flower borders and annual color combinations that are bold, powerful and simple.
