Yardzen designs everywhere in the U.S. and the Bridgeport area is one of our favorites. Landscapes in Bridgeport often favor the traditional: hedges, foundation planting, evergreen accents, and plenty of lawn space.

These traditional features nod to the colonial history of the region, and complement the mostly traditional architecture found throughout Bridgeports’ neighborhoods.

Plants

At the same time, you’ll find individual expression voiced through plant selection in yards throughout the city. Plants love Bridgeport’s humid climate and long growing season, and tropical species, including Southern Magnolias, Needle Palms, and Crape Myrtles, have been known to make appearances alongside evergreen shrubs and bold floral perennials.

BRIDGEPORT LANDSCAPING FAQS

What are popular design styles in Bridgeport?

Bridgeport designs are traditional and no-nonsense, leaning heavily on English Colonial design features like hedges, large lawns, floral rows, and vertical shrubs. Planting is commonly used to frame doors and windows, and spacious lawns are a standard foreground to foundational planting arrangements.

What are some favorite plant species in Bridgeport?

Boxwoods are a staple, though we recommend inkberry (Ilex glabra) as a tough, native alternative that fares better in the Bridgeport climate. Little bluestem is a handsome native grass, while eastern purple coneflower, blue-stemmed goldenrod, and New England aster are all excellent native floral options. Serviceberry and witch hazel are solid options for large shrubs/small trees that can be positioned as focal points, particularly in yards where space may not allow for larger trees.

What factors do I need to pay attention to with Bridgeport landscapes?

Designers must take care to choose species that can handle Bridgeport’s broad swing in temperature from summer’s heat to winter’s chill.

With frequent rain through the warm season, designs should offer shelter, welcoming in cooling southern breezes while keeping folks dry and shaded.

When should I get started on my landscape project?

Now! Any time of year is great to begin work on a landscape project.

Utilizing the winter to work through the design phase sets you up to get on contractors’ books early in the build season, so you can have your design installed and ready to enjoy in time for summer.
