Flowering Dogwood

If you hope to bring a wow factor to your landscaping, consider adding a flowering dogwood tree to your landscape. Flowering dogwoods grow 20 to 40 feet in height and offer a single or multi-trunk base. This tree provides beautiful views with its famous white and pink flowers blooming from March through October. In addition to their long-lasting beauty, they also contribute significantly to the environment around them. Flowering dogwood is a great feeding source for birds, small mammals, and deer that can eat their blooms. 

Bottlebrush Buckeye

The bottlebrush buckeye grows throughout Georgia in the summertime. It is often considered one of the best summer shrubs for shaded areas. The bottlebrush buckeye grows rapidly and in dense quantities. Additionally, the bottlebrush buckeye does not attract insects or lawn diseases, making it a staple and safe choice for your home’s landscape.

Coral Honeysuckle

Coral honeysuckle is a staple in southeastern landscaping. The coral honeysuckle brings diversity to your landscape with vines that can climb from three to twenty feet. The coral honeysuckle is a favorite of local hummingbirds and bees, bringing life to your land. This native plant does take five or more years to reach its full growth potential, so you must be patient while first planting this great addition. 

Red Maple

A popular and native tree to Georgia is the red maple tree. The red maple is most famous for its vibrant red colors showcased in the fall. They thrive in humid and sunny environments, making them popular throughout Georgia. Due to its fast-growing nature, the red maple is an easy addition to any landscape. The red maple adds beauty and strength to your Georgia home’s landscape. 

Native plants can thrive in their natural elements and incorporate a personal touch into your landscaping. Choosing native plants for your landscaping is a unique way to celebrate your hometown and personalize your property’s landscaping.

Have used Simply Green for over a year now for weed control & fertilization. Their service & products have helped improve the appearance & health of my grass in this short time. Taffari has been the technician the last few visits and he is great - super knowledgeable & able to answer my questions. On the last visit Taffari had the service manager reach out on a concern and it was addressed & resolved the same day.
