Experimenting with Color
Glenview, Illinois
Every year for more than two decades, the Van Zelst team has counted on a new challenge from this long-term client. A lover of color, she has been continually excited about trying new palettes and plant combinations, often based on her whatever might be catching her eye this year.
The mutual trust that developed over this enduring relationship led to many beautiful landscapes. Occasionally, our team would take on a major renovation or upgrade, such as raising the rear beds to make them easier for her to reach or replacing overgrown evergreens, but most years were focused on adding to the already spectacular color with new annuals, perennials and shrubs.
In addition, the Van Zelst maintenance team has been responsible for keeping the landscape healthy and lush, as well as repairing and maintaining hardscape elements.
Knowing that there isn’t a plant this homeowner didn’t like, the Van Zelst team has delighted in creating colorful, texture-rich environments that evolve from May through November.
