Residential Landscape Maintenance Tips
Posted By Ervin in Gardening
Most of the residents have a dream of having a magazine worthy Lawn and Landscape design. They try hard to maintain the lawn but fail in doing so. It’s not an easy task to keep a good Lawn correctly. Even they are dreaming of it; they don’t have time and energy to invest on the lawn. The beauty of a home increases by having a residential landscaping, but many of us just lack the knowledge, skill and time to achieve it.
Below are some tips to have that fantastic residential landscape design without dealing with hours of stress.
Check the Soil
Before planting anything in your lawn, just check the soil conditions. Choose the plants based on the type of soil that you have. Also, check the weather and light throughout the year, this helps in choosing the right plants for your lawn.
Create a Design First
Take a sketch of your garden and indicate where you would like plants, trees, herbs, grass and other hedges. You can take the help of a local nursery guy, who has experience in this work. Work out with a Landscape Designer to choose the plants that best suit in your lawn space.
Plant more shade trees
Plan for the trees that give more shade. More shade-giving trees provide you with space for relaxing on the Lawn. Also, select plants that are native to your area helping them to grow quickly with less maintenance. Plant these items in their sun preferred area and you will find that little to no work will be required for them to look fabulous.
Grow Grass
Grow the grass variety that suits the local environment. Be careful in mowing the grass. Cut the grass often, but minimally. Use the rule of thirds: never mow grass more than a third of its height. Cutting grass like this might be time-consuming, but the grass can be used for preparing natural compost, which in turn helps us to grow the lawn healthily.
Put Similar plants together
Always see that similar plants are planted together in the same place helping the plants to grow efficiently. Like this, it is also easy to maintain them and look fabulous.
Build a Walkway
Always built broadways or walkways on the Lawn. It adds to the beauty of the Lawn but also keeps grass from creeping into the garden area.
Proper Residential Lawn Maintenace not only adds beauty to your house but also increases the value of your house. A neighborhood full of nicely manicured and cared for lawns will improve the overall land values, and make you proud to come home.
