To determine the width of this type of landscaped area, Bernskoetter recommends incorporating an area about as wide as the mailbox is tall.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The area around residential mailboxes can be an exciting landscape design project according to Mark Bernskoetter, a member of the Master Gardeners of Greene County.
With any landscape project it is important to keep the conditions of the growing site in mind. Does it get sun or shade? How much water does it get?
"With any landscape project you have to select plants suited to your growing conditions. Then select the plants you like, keeping things like color, texture, shape and size in mind," said Bernskoetter.
