The Importance Of A Native Lowcountry Landscape Designer

Lowcountry Vistas Charleston Landscape Design BlogBy Seth MasonJune 1, 2017

  I’m proud to be a Charleston native. After all, we’re a rare breed: According to the Charleston Regional Development Alliance, the population of the Charleston metropolitan area is growing at 3x the national average, relocation the primary driver of the impressive growth. The rapid growth of the Lowcountry has made “Charleston native” a unique…

Busy Having Fun Designing and Installing Landscapes!

Lowcountry Vistas Charleston Landscape Design BlogBy Seth MasonJune 13, 2016

  I apologize for the long period between posts. Lowcountry Vistas and my Spanish tutoring side business have been keeping me busy, to say the least! I wanted to take this opportunity to describe a couple of projects I’ve completed since my last post. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to build colorful…

Sometimes, I’m impressed by what I see. Other times, I’m disheartened by the number of elements some…

Evergreens and Perennials in Residential Landscape Design

Lowcountry Vistas Charleston Landscape Design BlogBy Seth MasonSeptember 10, 2015

  I like to use evergreens and perennials as much as possible in my residential landscape designs so that yards look good year-round and maintenance remains minimal. (Annuals, on the other hand, must be replaced each year.) On this project, I used plenty of coastal grasses and sabal minors (look like dwarf Palmetto trees) to…

Charleston Landscaping Diamonds in the Rough

Lowcountry Vistas Charleston Landscape Design BlogBy Seth MasonSeptember 10, 2015

  Sometimes, Lowcountry yards are a diamond in the rough. They don’t require a complete redesign to look good; they just need a good eye and plenty of tender-loving care. For this yard, I removed a significant amount of overgrowth to create a view from the street that revealed it at its full potential: a…
