How To PLan Your Own FounpaTION PLANTING. The planting in front of the house 
should be kept simple in color and line, with not more than two or three different 
textures and forms. It should be used to frame the house and to unite it with the 
rest of the garden. In planning your foundation group, choose one or two high 
points. Accent the doorway with tall, narrow evergreens. Balance these by 
shrubby masses at the corners. Note where you must keep your planting low to 
get light to basement or other low windows. Evergreens may frame the view 
from the house windows, but never hide it. Use some low plants to get variety 
of mass. Don’t let your plantings consist of a line of jigsaw peaks—keep them in 
a softened line that gradually meets the lawn. At least once on every building 
face, let the foundation show through to retain the feeling of solidity, and let 
lawn meet fotindation in several places. Plant in spring or fall.
