When it comes to important landscaping questions, you shouldn’t tackle them on your own. Aside from the standard questions people ask about yards, being able to answer some of the more difficult questions takes years of experience and education. If you live around the Twin Cities of Minnesota, our team at BDI Outdoor Solutions should be your encyclopedia for landscaping! Recently, our staff has been asked what a homeowner should do that wants a garden, but their backyard is wooded with old oaks. Well, the simple answer is to let our team handle this project on your behalf!
Low Sunlight Necessary Plants
The key to creating a garden where you have tall oak trees is to do some research before you begin to dig. Those tall oak trees are beautiful, and there should be no reason for you to cut them down! Instead, our team at BDI Outdoor Solutions can recommend some low sunlight necessary plants that can survive in the shade. A sample of these shrubs and plants include:
- Bleeding Hearts
- Virginia Bluebells
- Impatiens
- Begonias
- Ferns
- Azaleas
- Rhododendrons

Other Shaded Garden Tips
While each landscape is different, our team at BDI Outdoor Solutions has some other tips to turn your shaded area under the old oak trees into a jaw dropping landscape that will make your neighbors jealous. Other tips we can implement into your garden include:
