Old Dock Road Foundation Bed Installation in Kiawah Island, SC

A foundation plant installation for a coastal cottage on Kiawah Island was thoughtfully designed to fuse tropical lushness with island practicality. The palette prioritizes tropical shrubs and palms that tolerate the island’s warm, humid micro-climate, along with citrus accents for fragrance and year-round interest. Low-growing groundcovers and compact evergreens frame the foundation, while taller palms and sculptural tropicals provide vertical accents near entrances and corners. Annual flowers are woven into the beds for seasonal color bursts, ensuring quick color change from spring through fall. Pine straw mulch keeps the beds neat and enhances moisture retention, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance, tropical-inspired edge that complements the cottage aesthetic and withstands coastal conditions.
