Tuscan landscapes carefully blend charm and Old World beauty with modern flair and elegance. The style originates in the central coastal region of Italy known for its breathtaking scenery, relaxed farming culture and stunning vineyards. We like to combine the old with the new for our clients. We can give your garden a very contemporary feel while still capturing the essence of the Southern European countryside.
Our designers begin the process of customizing Tuscan landscapes with a little “tree talk”. The right selection of plants, trees and other flora will define your style as Classic Italian, Tuscan. As you stroll through your garden, expect to see some very unexpected plants.
- Olive trees
- Tuscan shrubs such as Italian Cypress
- Topiary
- Palm trees
- Fountains
- Italian herbs
- Rosemary, sage, basil and thyme
Olive trees are signature plants in Tuscan landscapes. Kona Land and Water Escapes uses Swan Olive trees which is a non-fruiting (non-falling fruit) variety. Don’t like olives trees? A pistachio tree is another common tree that makes a great substitute.
Over two thousand years of garden history and expertise have resulted in a rich variety of plant-shaping possibilities. Tuscan landscapes often include topiary sculptures. Ask our sales representative about the possibilities.
Tuscan shrubs usually grow low and are wonderful plants to line walkways and paths. Palm trees, which are already native to Arizona, should be another staple in your garden. The Canary Island Date palms, European Fan palms and Pindo Palms are a few of the more popular choices. We provide you with all of your plant, tree and flower needs, so go as exotic with your selections as you wish.
A Tuscan environment would not be complete without the cooling effect of a fountain. Fountains are a pronounced feature in Tuscan and Italian landscaping. Either attached to a wall or free standing the fountain could be decorated with mosaic or colorful glazed tile for borders.
Tuscan landscapes are no doubt very beautiful, but also very functional as well. Cooking is a favorite pastime of the Italians. Ever since ancient times Italian gardens were used for growing herbs and spices and that tradition is still alive and well today. Tomatoes, eggplant, colorful bell peppers, rosemary, sage and basil are all herbs and plants you can add to your garden. Be sure to take care of them with regular watering and they’ll take care of you by providing delicious food for the whole family. In your consultation let us know which veggies and spices you prefer and we will incorporate them into the plans.
If Tuscan landscapes seem a little too far south for your style, we can build you an English landscape. The difference is in the flowers and stone. The English design is a little more formal with lush flowerbeds and rock features (such as stone walls, gazebos and archways). Also, you will want to choose a focal point when building an English garden. This can be as simple as an artistic plant grouping or as elaborate as fountains or trellises or an English Rose Garden. Ask our designers to show you samples of both styles before you make up your mind. Both are equally breathtaking and easy to maintain, so there is no wrong choice.
Now that you know all about European landscapes, bring a little bit of Tuscany (or the English countryside) to your home today. Call us and we can start designing a plan specifically tailored for you and your family.
