Q: I'm thinking of waiting until Spring to begin my landscaping project. Isn't this the best time?
Well, it's common to begin thinking about outdoor project in the Spring. Local plant nurseries often stock heavily in the months of April, May, June, and July. However, nature operates on a fairly inflexible schedule. You can stick any plant in the ground, but will it grow ... or thrive?
The 2 main concerns, or criteria, for successful landscaping are temperature and soil conditions. Both of these break down even further to ONE criteria: moisture! Most people don't think about landscaping work in Winter, as plants are dormant and the soil is quite soggy. However, virtually all plants "root establish" in Winter, so it can be an excellent time to stick things in the ground – it's all a matter of soil conditions, and choosing the correct time to do the work.
Q: Can I hire anybody to do my landscaping work?
Professional landscaping is one of the few investments you can make that is guaranteed to appreciate over time. A well designed and properly installed landscape can increase your property value by 10 to 20 percent. Your investment with a landscape professional ensures proper plant selection and placement, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and greater enjoyment of a yard that truly fits your lifestyle.
Q: Why is having your property professionally landscaped important?
A professionally installed and maintained landscape not only looks beautiful, but it also raises the value of your property.
It is important to have a professional landscape designer who understands the importance of using the correct plants in the appropriate places on your land. This will maximize the beauty and function of your land for you to enjoy for years to come.
Q: What should I expect from my initial landscape appointment?
You should expect to meet with a dedicated landscape professional who will discuss your particular landscaping needs. The professional that you meet with will listen to any suggestions, needs, or concerns that you may have and take them into account. Upon completion of this meeting the design and/or proposal phase of the process will begin.
Q: How do I take care of my newly installed plants?
The best time to water your plants is in the early morning hours. If using a sprinkler, allow it to run until approximately 1 inch of water has accumulated. It is important to not water broad leaf shrubs in intense sunlight, as water left on the leaves can scorch the leaves. Infinity Landscapes also offers custom built maintenance packages in order to meet your individual needs.
