foundation plantings

Curated planting that frames your home beautifully, softens architecture, and creates a polished first impression from every approach.

THE SERVICE

Where architecture meets the garden

Foundation plantings are the visual connection between your home and its landscape the shrubs, grasses, perennials, and small trees that frame the architecture and soften the transition between building and ground. Done well, they elevate curb appeal dramatically. Done poorly, they detract from even the most beautiful home.


Clerici designs foundation planting schemes that are scaled correctly to your home, selected for year-round interest, and planted to remain beautiful as they mature without overpowering windows or encroaching on the structure.
