Transform Your Yard with Professional Plant Installation

When you think about adding plants to your landscape, it’s not just about how they look, though that’s very important. It’s also about creating a space that they can thrive in; it should be welcoming and functional. Choosing the right plants, trees, or shrubs can do more than improve your curb appeal. They can provide privacy, create comfortable, shady spots to relax in, or pair beautifully with a hardscape feature, like brick walkways, to really create a harmonious outdoor space.

The key to making your ideas a reality is professional plant installation. At Summit Scapes, we don’t just plant and leave. We want to make sure that every plant we install has the right foundation to thrive. From using the right soil to making sure your yard has proper drainage, we’ll make sure that your plants don’t just look good after they’re installed, but that they’ll grow strong and healthy. 

Our Favorite Plants for Local Yards

The climate in Central New York can be tough on plants because of the fluctuating temperatures, harsh winters, and occasional summer droughts. But with over 13 years of experience, we’ve learned which plant varieties are best suited to thrive in our area. Here are some of the plants that we work with:

Trees

Shade Trees

If you have a larger yard or if you want to add some shade to your property, shade trees like Red Maples or Autumn Blaze are perfectly suited for Central New York homes. These trees provide plenty of shade, offering some relief during hot summer months.

Ornamental Trees

These trees add an element of beauty and charm to your home. Flowering Dogwoods or Japanese Maples have some of the most beautiful blooms in the spring and vibrant fall colors that will create a stunning focal point for your yard. These trees also work really well for smaller yards or gardens if you’re working with limited space.

Weeping Trees

If you’re looking for a more dramatic visual effect, weeping trees like Crimson Princess or Weeping Willow trees fit the bill. These trees are also great for shading, but also have a unique flowing effect that makes your yard feel more tranquil and elegant.

Shrubs

Boxwoods

These incredibly versatile shrubs make perfect hedges or borders for your landscaping. They’re very low-maintenance and hold up well through the winter, and keep their shape year-round.

Hydrangeas

These shrubs are some of the most recognizable by their lush blooms in vibrant colors. Hydrangeas are very popular with homeowners because they add natural character, texture, and color to any property. These are some of the easiest shrubs to grow and the most resilient in different conditions.

Azaleas

Azaleas are perfect for homeowners who are looking for a more natural, woodland feel for their home. These shrubs have beautiful flowers that brighten up any space. They also thrive well in partly shaded areas.

Perennials & Annuals

Coneflowers

Coneflowers come in beautiful, bright colors of pink, purple, and white. They tend to draw in more pollinators and are perfect for areas that are more prone to droughts.

Bee balm

Bee Balm can thrive in full sun or partial shade and does best in moist soil. These unique, tubular flowers bloom in red, pink, and purple, and attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.

Daylilies

These flowers are perfect for low-maintenance gardens and come in a variety of colors, including orange, red, pink, yellow, and purple. They thrive in full sun environments and bloom all summer long.

Hostas

Hostas are beautiful accent plants that thrive in shaded or partially shaded areas. They're perfect for lining walkways or bordering flower beds.

Asters

Asters bloom in the fall in shades of white, purple, and pink. Their leaves bring beautiful texture to any garden.

Sedum

Sedums have very succulent-like leaves and fluffy, star-shaped flowers that bloom in pinks and reds. They thrive in full sun and do well in drier, drought-prone areas.

Grasses & Ground Covers

Ornamental Grass

Ornamental grasses like Feather Reed Grass or Switch Grass are great for adding body and beautiful texture. They love full sun environments and are great for filling in empty spaces in your garden or landscaping.

Pachysandra

This low-growing plant is ideal for flower beds or for framing trees. Pachysandra provides a thick, green carpet that also prevents soil erosion.
