First, be sure to trim your plants to get the most out of them. Those that are dormant over the winter should be manicured so they look amazing once the weather begins to warm up.
Next, take a good look at how your flower beds are shaped. If they are all just straight lines, consider adding curves to the edges, or putting in boulders to help break up the flat lines.
Take a look at your plants trees and start applying some mulch to them. This helps your plants and trees retain water and keeps them warm during cool spells. If you aren’t sure what type of mulch is best for your yard’s needs, visit us to learn more.
Once the weather really begins to warm up which will be very soon you will want to start watering your home landscaping. The rule of thumb is to water deeply but only when your home landscaping really needs it.
Try shade trees. Large shade trees planted on the east, west, and northwest sides of your home create soothing shade from the hot summer sun and reduce summer air conditioning costs by up to3 5%. Maple trees are a great option and will be gorgeous come fall. Their root systems tend to be a bit shallower than other trees, so you should watch where you plant them.
And finally, plant some perennials. Perennials help stabilize ecosystems, like forests, and in that way, they help sustain wildlife. And thanks again to their deep roots, they don’t require as much fertilizer and water.
These are just a few of the great tips you can expect from one of our gardening professionals. So, when you’re ready to get started on your Pennsylvania landscaping, contact our landscaping company and we will get your projects underway!
