Site Context Summary The primary soil type is Kinton silt loam which is considered to be moderately well drained, with silty clay loam at 17-38 inches on average. Based on the home’s orientation and the established trees on-site, the backyard has filtered sunlight through most of the day, with mostly shade under the canopy of the conifers.While the front yard receives full sun throughout the day. Conceptual Design Summary Sunny Section: The goal is to create a natural meadow aesthetic with low maintenance plant selections that can thrive in the clay-loam soil and full sun. Brightly colored perennial flowers are selected for their good cut flower qualities, while matching the client’s prefered color scheme, and desire to attract birds and support pollinators through the year. Shady Section: This plant selection includes good options for a natural aesthetic and seamless style created by repeating specie combinations. Increase seasonal interest with shade blooming plants throughout the year. .
