Deer Resistant Plantings

February 1, 2016Andrew SavinsonSeasonal Tips

deer resistant plantingsWe have had considerable success designing deer resistant plantings of shrubs, trees and flowers.

Deer have become an immense problem for many homeowners living in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery Counties, and the Main Line, PA.  Over the last 20 some years we have developed techniques that can prevent deer damage to your plantings.

Deer tend to eat evergreens in the winter, and soft wooded deciduous shrubs as well as flowers in the spring, summer and fall.

There are three main approaches to preventing deer damage: Coexistence, Exclusion, and Discouragement.

Exclusion involves erecting 8′ high fences at considerable expense.  Discouragement involves spraying plants continuously, or installing appliances that emit sprays or sounds.

The coexistence approach is the least expensive in the long run, it does not intend to prevent deer from entering an area, but to design plantings which are deer resistant, plants that they do not like to eat.

Creative Landscapes can design a landscape for you with plants that, from our experience, can co-exist with Bambi, but take precautions before it’s too late!
