Elevate Your Landscape with Exquisite Planting Design

There’s no denying the impact that well-selected and thoughtfully planned plantings can have on the overall appearance of your property. By defining the space and enhancing its beauty, plantings and landscape design significantly increase curb appeal and property value. Depending on the intended use of the area, plantings can be strategically employed to create an appealing landscape that complements its purpose. Whether you seek privacy, a serene retreat, an inviting space for entertaining, or a visually captivating experience, plantings can fulfill your desires.

To fully grasp the benefits of landscape planting, it’s essential to consider how you envision utilizing the space. Skillfully executed plantings can incorporate retaining walls, water features, brick paver patios and walkways, boulders and ledge stone, perennial gardens, and trees. Not only do plantings bring evolving beauty to your property as seasons change, but they also contribute to the structural integrity of your yard. Elements such as well-placed plants can prevent soil erosion, providing stability and longevity to your landscape.

The Planting Checklist

• Are drainage, climate, and exposure (sun, shade & wind) conditions appropriate for the plants being installed? If you’re unsure, please ask us for advice.
• Is the area clear of all stumps, ground cover, and debris?
• Mark all lines if they’re in the planting area. Are there gas, power, cable, drain, water, sprinkler or invisible fence lines in the area? If you’re unsure about public utility lines, call Dig Safe for free marking services.
• Have you staked the area to clearly identify where the plants go? Write the name of each plant on each stake.
• Is the planting area easy to find? Are all gates unlocked? Can the area be reached with a wheelbarrow?
• Do you have a dog? Make sure to notify us, if so.

Essential Tips for Successful Plant Care: Watering, Mulching, and Protection Practices for Newly Planted Trees and Shrubs

After the planting process, it is crucial to provide adequate watering for newly planted trees and shrubs. Start with a thorough watering and then monitor the soil moisture level. Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, typically about 1.5 inches or knuckle deep. Regularly check the soil moisture and water only when necessary, as overwatering or underwatering are common reasons for plant failure. During extended periods of hot and dry weather, watering may be required every two days. It is advisable to water before noon to allow plants to absorb moisture before the heat of the day. In the fall, continue watering new plants once a week until the ground freezes. However, if there has been at least 1 inch of rainfall within a week, watering may not be necessary.

For plants in clay soil, ensure that they do not remain sitting in water, as this can lead to root rot. To promote deep root growth, allow a slow trickle of water to soak into the soil at the base of the plant for approximately 10-15 minutes.

To maintain the area around trees, cultivate the soil and remove any grass. Alternatively, apply a layer of organic mulch, such as pine, fir, or cypress bark, or soil conditioner, with a thickness of 1 to 2 inches.

During planting, we recommend using Bio-tone Plant Starter Plus, which should provide sufficient nutrients for the first year.

For young trees, protect their trunks during the first winter season by wrapping them to prevent sun-scald. Remove the wrap during warm weather. Evergreen trees should be shielded from wind and salt spray.

By following these watering, mulching, fertilizing, and protection practices, you can help ensure the successful establishment and growth of your newly planted trees and shrubs.
