Landscape Maintenance
Efficiency by Design
The best place to start landscape maintenance is with the landscape design itself. The last thing in the world you want is for the landscape design to be determined by the people that cut the grass. With proper planning, spacing and choice of plantings, overall maintenance costs can be greatly reduced.
Common Mistakes
The most common mistake homeowners make is placing their plantings too close to the building or to each other, not realizing how much room they will need to grow.
Peace of Mind
The greatest advantage to having your landscape professionally maintained is the peace of mind associated with knowing your plantings are being taken care of by individuals who are familiar with their growth habits. The knowledge of when to prune, how to prune, when to fertilize, or the removal of unwanted vegetation from the plant beds all serve to enhance the aesthetics and value of the landscape. However, most people don't mind doing minor things to their landscape for exercise. Maintenance is unavoidable, and can provide an improvement on both mental and physical health. You may be surprised by the desire to get your hands dirty. |
