fOR THE diyER
Shrub Appeal is very DIY friendly. We can provide education, consultation, and design services for DIYers.
Do you...
...have the tools but not the know how?
...have the know how but not an eye for design?
...have a particularly difficult design challenge (like a small area, too much shade, steep terrain)?
...need a new look but want to save money?
...want to learn something new?
We are happy to teach skills and provide garden design plans to individuals and companies who are DIY minded. Contact us to chat.
An Eye for Design
Don't settle for boring!
There's a big difference between a landscaper and a designer. Shrub Appeal gives you the best of both worlds. We can create focal points and give you a look that contrasts color, texture, weight, and form. Because we can offer specialty plants, the sky is our limit!
Design is even more important if you can only afford to install a few plants. If this is you, let's make sure those few plants give you maximum impact! New breeding programs are creating plants that are better than ever. Don't settle for "a green bush" because it's all you can find at the store. Let us find you something glorious.
Ultra Low Maintenance
Plants that stay small and don't ever need pruning?
Yes! They exist and we'll help you find them.
Tired of watering over the summer? (Or tired of your plants dying because you couldn't water?)
We'll pick out shrubs and flowers that love the heat and perform even in dry conditions.
Fighting a losing battle against weeds?
We can design a space where weeds can't thrive or we can provide you with a management plan that requires minimum effort and is healthy for the environment.
Expensive plants keep dying?
Whether it's due to disease, pests, or ill-suited conditions, we'll identify the problem and find replacements and solutions that will last.
Services Customized to your budget
Working with a tight budget? No problem. Shrub Appeal can help you save money by:
Providing materials at cost
Incorporating your current established plantings into the final design
Designing a high impact look with fewer plants
Helping you figure out how to maximize your budget by identifying areas that don't need plants or landscaping
Showing you what you may be able to do yourself and how to do it
Knowing when you can save money by buying baby plants
About
Shrub Appeal is a garden maintenance and design company that provides landscaping services to both commercial and residential clients. Founded in Kentucky, the business has recently moved to Crawford County, IL.
As a scientist turned gardener, Erica Shannon (Owner) brings a data-based perspective to landscaping. Her philosophy, designs, and plant choices are driven by university publications, research, and experience cultivated in gardens across Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee. There's no need for guesswork when you can measure, assess, and pull information from databases. There's no need to settle for a partial solution when you have access to new innovations in tools, technology, and plant breeding.
