Steps to Keep Your Landscape Thriving
Happy Spring! Springtime in Texas is one of the most celebrated as we welcome longer days, sunny skies, and wildflowers in bloom.
As you know, Texas winters can bring a blend of hard freezes, dry, rainy spells and windstorms. During these months, neighborhoods and commercial properties may experience some disorder as the winter weather can wreak havoc on landscapes, commercial properties, and amenities. A well-maintained landscape not only enhances curb appeal and property value but also fosters community well-being and happy, satisfied customers. As we welcome springtime in Texas, let’s dive into essential guidelines for seasonal landscape care. By taking these steps, you can ensure a smoother transition into spring with a beautiful landscape to greet residents and customers.
Debris Removal to Create A Clean Canvas:
Get ready to embrace the vibrant season with a scheduled post-winter clean up. This includes clearing fallen leaves, branches, and debris, ensuring a clean canvas for your common areas, entry ways, and other outdoor space. Say goodbye to pesky weeds by removing them from gravel areas, sidewalks, and flower beds. Edge hedges and pathways to give your property a polished and pristine appearance.
Spring Planting for a Fresh Start:
Dive into the new season by rejuvenating outdoor spaces with vibrantly colored plants and flowers. Start by assessing your current plants and inspecting shrubs, trees, and flower beds. Tidying up by pruning and removing any winter-damaged plants. Embrace the vibrancy of the season by introducing a variety of annuals and perennials, including native species for eco-friendliness. Enhance growth and sustainability by mulching around new plantings to retain essential moisture.
Irrigation Check-Up:
Springtime is a perfect and important time to evaluate sprinklers, drip lines, and timers. Test water flow and coverage of your entire irrigation system to assess damage. Repair leaks or damaged components. Additionally, if your irrigation was off for the winter, it’s time to adjust your watering schedule. Gradually increase irrigation frequency as temperatures rise and monitor soil moisture to prevent overwatering. Proper watering represents one of the most important tasks associated with the protection of your landscape investment. In Texas, we endure some very hot, dry weather each year and cannot rely on consistent rainfall to nourish our flowers, plants, and trees. Modern commercial irrigation systems are intelligent and adaptable. Terry’s licensed irrigation technicians install, inspect, optimize, and repair all types of commercial irrigation systems.
Mulch to Protect and Nourish:
Spring is the perfect time for a fresh and new application of mulch. Spread a fresh layer of mulch around plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Proper mulching techniques include avoiding piling mulch against tree trunks (creates a “mulch volcano”). Spread mulch evenly, leaving a gap around plant stems.
Professional Tree Trimming for Aesthetic and Safety:
Trees contribute so much to the overall appearance and functionality of a landscaped property. Their beautifully aged character, sometimes achieved over hundreds of years, provides a unique connection to history. Trees also dramatically enhance curb appeal and deliver effective protection from the sun and wind. Spring marks an important time to inspect tress and to trim overgrown branches to maintain safety and aesthetics as well as promoting healthy growth and preventing hazards.
