Plants for Moist Locations

Landscaping in areas with consistently moist or poorly drained soil requires plants that can tolerate wet conditions without compromising on beauty or performance. Moist locations, such as low-lying gardens, near-water features, or rain-prone areas, offer a perfect setting for specific trees, shrubs, and perennials that thrive with ample water. These plants not only adapt well to soggy environments but also contribute to a lush, vibrant landscape that feels alive year-round.

At LANDFRAME LANDSCAPE STUDIO, we specialize in selecting water-loving plant varieties that flourish in damp soils while adding depth, color, and natural interest to your garden. From ornamental trees to flowering shrubs and moisture-loving groundcovers, we create designs that embrace the site’s natural hydrology transforming wet zones into thriving, visually captivating outdoor spaces.
