Planters are simply mini-gardens you can place virtually anywhere in the landscape: Whether they're on a balcony, at the front door, or on a back patio, they're are great for softening hard spaces and making an ordinary space look extraordinary and inviting. Annuals bridge the gap that occurs in bloom throughout the Gainesville, FL lawn, providing lots of color through the entire season. Best of all they can be done for each season! Spring Spring Planters are a warm way to welcome the summer. By early spring we are all anxious for the fresh colors of summer. Planters can bring that pop of color when the rest of the landscape has not yet awoken from it's winter slumber. These creative planters can welcome Easter dinner guests or be a great gift for Mother's Day. With a mix of spring blooms, they are sure to bring a smile to you and your guest's face.  Summer Summer planters and bedding plants will last the longest for seasonal plantings. Your planters and beds will be allowed to grow and fill in to be luscious and impacting displays. Bedding plants can be used to fill in the areas of your landscape that lack color at any time throughout the season. Need to bring attention to a business sign? Plant annuals underneath it! With proper Gainesville lawn maintenance and landscape care you can create a breath-taking landscape display from June to August!

Fall

Summer is winding down, but that doesn't mean you have to give up your beautiful annual displays! Replace your summer bedding plants with hardy and cold-tolerant fall landscaping flowers. They provide a burst of color from early fall until frost. Creative fall planters are sure to be the envy of the neighborhood with a mix of mums, pansies, false floral, real pumpkins, and gourds! What a great way to celebrate the harvest season and compliment the stunning display of fall colors created by the natural landscape.

Winter

Celebrate the holiday season and bring warmth to your home or business with a winter planter. With a mix of petunias, pansies, and flowering kale, guests are sure to have a warm and cheery welcome. There are endless holiday decorating ideas to incorporate: wreaths, garland/roping, planters, and lighting can be used indoors and out! 

Any of these can make a wonderful and inviting addition to your Gainesville landscaping! Don't think you have a green thumb to plant annuals so they'll thrive? Call your local Gainesville Landscape Service at 352-378-LAWN to schedule a free landscape consultation.
