Tuscan
Imagine stepping into your backyard and enjoying a glass of fine wine and Italian cuisine under the subtle sway of elegant fruiting Olive trees and palms native to the Mediterranean. You can appreciate the excellent and stately privacy provided by your tall Italian Cypress trees. Maybe you’ll take a stroll through your own Pomegranate, Lemon, and Fig trees and relish in the sweet tastes of the Italian countryside.
If you’ve ever wanted your yard to take on the charm and grace of a Tuscan vineyard, or to enjoy the most authentic homemade Italian food possible, the Tuscan landscape style is your ticket.
