Here are a few reasons why not to cut back your plant material in the fall!  Also, by adding art into your landscaping is a visual treat all year long.

  • Plant Material Provides Color and Texture throughout the Long, Cold (But Beautiful) Winter Months!
  • Art Added in Your Landscaping is a Piece of You and Your Personality!
  • Art is an Investment but it Usually Symbolizes and Sparks a Memory or Feeling, so Why NOT invest?

I took a road trip out to the Minnesota Countryside this winter and capture the beauty and texture of this Winterscape!

Enjoy our Wintescapes!

If you are interested in planting for year-round color be sure to discuss that with your landscape designer!  Letting several plants die off for the winter and show their winter colors isn’t always a bad thing.  They continue to add color and texture throughout our long winter months.

Also, think about art as a lifelong investment.  It should represent something meaningful that evokes emotion.  If you are interested in a custom piece for your landscape, ask one of our talented designers or visit our favorite outdoor supplier and showroom, Twisted Elements in Eden Prairie, MN.
