Layered plant heights create depth and dimension, drawing the eye through your landscape with a natural progression from ground covers to shrubs to taller trees. This layering hides structural elements and softens transitions between lawn and beds. It also supports biodiversity by providing multiple habitats for wildlife. Combining varying heights enhances color and texture contrasts, enriching curb appeal. Use taller border plants or small trees as backgrounds, mid-height shrubs as focal points, and lower plants near walkways for smooth flow. This technique creates an inviting, balanced outdoor space that feels lush and professionally designed.
