Shade, Slopes & Smart Design

Every landscape tells a story, and this one starts with a unique set of challenges.

This week on Wednesdays with Wayne, Wayne joins Nick from Ricci's Landscape Management as they walk through a landscape currently under construction. With more than 25 feet of grade change, a dry, shaded hillside, and existing materials worth preserving, every decision had to be carefully planned.

As they tour the site, Wayne and Nick discuss why specific plants were selected, how they approached the difficult growing conditions, and the thought process behind the hardscape elements, including materials reclaimed from the property and incorporated into the new design.

If you've ever wondered how professional landscapers turn a challenging property into a functional, beautiful landscape, this episode offers an inside look at the planning and decision-making that happens long before the project is complete.

Watch this week's Wednesdays with Wayne and see how smart design begins with solving the site's biggest challenges.
