Shrubs
Certain shrubs are the perfect choice for planting near your home's foundation. Their compact size requires less maintenance, and adding the right shrub can bring pops of color next to your home exterior materials. Some shrubs even produce berries, which we love! But before you choose, make sure the shrub will have plenty of space to grow in the area allotted. So do your research and know where your shrub will be located.

Once you add a mix of these shrubs, perennials, and trees—take time to give each plant a considerable amount of water. While we're moving into the fall season, it is still warm in many parts of the country, so plants need plenty of moisture to stay healthy and hydrated. To help with hydration, consider adding mulch. This will add an extra line of defense and help your plants retain water.
