About This Project

The Tropical Paradise project transforms a corner of a backyard in Southern Louisiana into a vibrant oasis that showcases the region's lush sub-tropical landscape. Utilizing the unique climate, the design incorporates a variety of tropical plants that thrive year-round, creating a layered effect that enhances both aesthetics and privacy. The strategic placement of Oleanders and Bird of Paradise along the fence line provides an effective screen while adding height and drama to the overall composition. In the middle tier, a careful selection of variegated and tri-color Ginger, 'Xanadu' Philodendron, Hydrangea, and Banana Plants introduces a rich palette of textures and colors, creating a harmonious visual experience. The craftsmanship involved in arranging these plants demonstrates a keen understanding of landscape hierarchy, ensuring that each layer complements the others while standing out in its unique way. The inner and lowest layer is designed to bring movement and vibrancy to the space, featuring annuals like Coleus and Impatiens that weave through the garden, offering a lively burst of color that animates the landscape. The project also emphasizes the importance of a cohesive border, which frames the entire design and enhances the feeling of unity within the space. This bright border not only ties the elements together but also draws the eye throughout the garden, encouraging exploration and appreciation of the diverse plant life. Completed in 2015, this project was showcased at the Southern Garden Festival, where its thoughtful design and meticulous execution garnered attention and admiration. With a cost range of $7,501 to $10,000, the Tropical Paradise project exemplifies the potential of backyard landscaping in New Orleans, creating a stunning retreat that invites relaxation and enjoyment in a beautifully crafted tropical setting. This landscape design serves as an inspiration for homeowners seeking to enhance their outdoor spaces with vibrant, year-round beauty.
