Summer Landscaping Tips

Summer has arrived in Central PA! While you're outside enjoying the warm weather, you can also spend more time enjoying and working on your landscape. This season is a good one for completing some of those landscaping projects you've been hoping to tackle, and also a good one for sitting outside, surrounding yourself with your hard work, and relaxing. We've put together a few summer landscaping tips for those who are ready to make some changes to their property.

Add more foilage. Flowering plants can be very visually appealing. Adding some to your yard can instantly upgrade the look and increase your curb appeal.

Fertilize your lawn. If you want your grass to grow to its potential, start up regular fertiziler treatments, and be sure your lawn is getting the right amount of water. Both will go a long way in making sure your lawn is healthy and beautiful.

Experiment with layouts. Not a big fan of traditional landscaping looks? Come up with some of your own ideas, test them out in smaller sections of your property, and if you like the way they look, expand them to include your entire landscape.

Ready to transform your yard? Stop by our Manheim garden center to look at our selection today!

Finding a Good Lancaster Nursery

It's Spring, and if you're the green thumb type, you've probably been itching to dig around in the garden or flower bed.

Here are a few questions you should ask of yourself and of the nursery.

  • Is there good plant variety?
  • Is the staff good at what they do? Are they knowledgeable about their plants?
  • Are the plants at the nursery in good condition?
  • Do the employees help you find what you're looking for?
  • Are the prices reasonable?
When you take all of these things into consideration and start searching, you're bound to find Root's Nurseries, the Manheim-based nursery and landscaping company that those in the Lancaster area have trusted for over 100 years. Interested in learning more? Give us a call today at (717) 898-0041.

Sod Sofas: Landscaping Works of Art

The Department of Agriculture at Cornell University has Sod Sofa creation down to a science.

Oh, you've never heard of a Sod Sofa? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. Take a look.


By shaping soil in a particular way and planing grass or moss, you can put something together that eventually takes the shape of a sofa. The grass or moss becomes the upholstery, and on sunny days, you can have a seat or lay down on your sod sofa and read a book, or chat with friends.



Since 1895, Root's Nurseries has helped residents in Central Pennsylvania create their own works of art. If you have a landscaping dream that you'd like to have fulfilled, give us a call and tell us more about it. We'd love to help! Our number is (717) 898-0041, or you can get in touch by completing our FREE landscaping estimate form.
