Horrid landscaping

Following is an example of terrible landscaping here in the Brainerd lakes area. In my opinion this is the worst example of a berm that I have ever seen. Note that the boulders that comprise the edging are perfectly in line and sitting on the surface. The ornamental grasses and evergreens are all perfectly spaced. The evergreens are all one variety, Colorado Blue Spruce, and are all the same height. There is quite simply no landscape interest here and this scheme does not look natural. I would encourage forum members to use fewer boulders in your landscapes and they should appear to be gently pushing up from the ground. You will notice that not all of the trees appear healthy. I would suggest the use of native trees, and varied species and heights. As far as the grasses go, it is preferable to use native species. You can do much better than this.
