Groundcover is fast growing Cotoneaster Dammeri/Bearberry. These grew from 4" in small containers to 18 to 24" spread in one season. Hardy, drought resistant, and able to tolerate weed controls.

Scott & Catherine Buley, HTT&T, High Tech Turf & Trees, LandscapeMakeover.biz, Rain Garden Nursery. The theme garden Yucca needed help. We reduced and cleaned it out, and added an equally drought tolerant groundcover in front of it, Bearberry (cotoneaster dammeri). Evergreen, drought tolerant, tough, and with the bonus of white Spring flowers, and Summer thru Winter red berries.

Granite cut stone pavers creating patio and path leading to concrete pathway. Plantings in photo: Lavender, Salvia Hot Lips, Rosemary and Cotoneaster lacteus.

Front door steps, walkway and garden by Tough Oaks Landscaping. Creative natural stone accents pull the colours of the interlocking stone into the design with the colours of the plants creating a pop of life. Cotoneaster, dwarf balsam fir, and fruiting elderberry bring life to the garden.

Design ideas for a southwestern landscaping in Phoenix.

This custom water feature, bluestone slab stairs and bluestone chip pathways are softened with various textures and colors. Plants include Cotoneaster, Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa), Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus), Astilbe, Lamb's Ear (Stachys 'Hummelo'), Allium 'Summer Beauty,' Salvia and Catmint (Nepeta). Boulders throughout the planting area helps to retain the changing grade.

This site was graded to hide the view of the circle driveway from the house.
This is an example of a traditional partial sun front yard landscaping in Columbus.

New York fieldstone steps were intricately placed, creating a comfortable transition from the bluestone terrace to the ravine and beach. The steps and boulders are lined with a mix of astilbe, hosta, hydrangea, sedum, and cotoneaster which soften the landscape by adding color variety and an array of textures.

A photo of the far back yard, where we planted Heritage River Birch, a Rain Garden with native plantings, and the Bearberry (cotoneaster dammeri) groundcover you see here. These were installed as 4" pots, two to three feet apart, and grew to cover the ground in no time at all. Dense green with pretty white flowers and red fruit.
