"Landscape layering uses a wide variety of plants arranged in a staggered foreground, middle ground, and background, creating a regular, mixed plant"

"When designing a four-season landscape, repetition, scale, flow and depth are design principles used to create a intentional and dynamic garden design. Layering plants, trees, shrubs, grasses, vines and groundcovers in multiple rows using design principles as a guide is what sets magazine-worthy gardens apart from the average home garden."
