Project Spotlight: Creating a Modern Double Hedge with Low-Maintenance Elegance

At Legacy Landscape Group, we love bringing unique visions to life. Recently, we worked with a homeowner who wanted a sleek, low-maintenance landscape featuring a modern double hedge and white drift rose ground cover. The design emphasized the walkway as the focal point, creating a welcoming flow to the front door.

The Vision

Our client sought a clean, modern aesthetic with:

• A double hedge for structure and symmetry.
• White drift roses as a soft, colorful, and low-maintenance ground cover.
• A layout that guided focus to the walkway.
• Natural-colored mulch to balance modern and traditional elements.

The Challenges

• Soil Preparation: The garden beds needed to be built up by 8 inches for proper drainage and plant health.
• Design Balance: Combining modern structure with a timeless feel required thoughtful planning.
• Walkway Focus: The layout needed to highlight the walkway while maintaining a cohesive flow.

The Process

We started by preparing the space and elevating the garden beds with a custom soil blend. The double hedge, created with neatly pruned evergreen shrubs, added structure and order, while the white drift roses provided year-round color and required minimal maintenance. Natural-colored mulch tied the elements together, and the plant layout emphasized the walkway as the centerpiece.
