Have
you seen the tulips lately? Spring has in Pennsylvania! That means it’s time to
get outside and begin sculpting the perfect new landscape for your home. As the
weather warms throughout the season, your garden and grasses will continue to
bud with new growth. Root’s Nurseries is ready to tame, design and guide your yard
into a relaxing outdoor oasis to enjoy all summer long. As a trusted landscaper
for Mt Joy
and surrounding areas, we’ve put quite a bit of thought into landscape design.
So, here are a few tips to consider when designing a new landscape:
Start
Spring Cleaning
Now that the cold weather has lifted and the snow has melted,
you will likely be able to see the marks left behind by winter. You’ll notice
broken branches, bare patches and some additional cleanup that needs to take
place in your yard. Here are some tasks you or a landscaper can perform:
- If you notice any bare patches, loosen the surface and spread a mixture of grass seed and compost or fertilizer over the bare spot.
- Carefully rake up all of the dead leaves, debris and pine cones that have gathered on your lawn over the last several months.
- You or your landscaper should apply a new layer of mulch to help your plants retain moisture; helping them to grow throughout the spring and summer.
Find Inspiration
Start online! Gather a few ideas and photos of your dream
landscape you can show to your landscaper. Look for landscaping inspiration in
the area or find some examples of properties that you think are done well. This
may help you in presenting our team with a good idea of what you’re looking for.

the area? A landscaper at Root’s can answer those questions for you!
Make
Plans
Setting things up in proper proportion is one of the most
daunting tasks associated with designing the ideal home landscape. Your plants
need to be proportionate to each other as well as to whatever plot they are
being installed into. A trained,
professional home landscaper from Root’s can step in here, take measurements
and help you visualize the scope of your project and what the outcome should
look like.
Get Colorful

starting point and the experts at Root’s can help build from there.
