Our Auburn landscaping guide

In October 2025 we published a guide to landscaping in Auburn. It covers the conditions Auburn yards share with the rest of the Fort Wayne area, which is clay based soil in hardiness zones 5b to 6a, and then moves on to the parts of a yard people ask about.

  • Understanding Auburn's landscape conditions
  • Front yard impact: the walkway, foundation shrubs and seasonal color
  • Backyard living spaces
  • Sustainable landscaping practices

Planning an Auburn yard

Clay soil holds water and gets compacted, so we start with how water moves across the lot before we pick a single plant. Beds that drain well and are planted with adapted species need less watering and less replacing later.
