If you have a beautiful landscape design and you want to make sure to maintain it properly, there are a few things that are absolutely essential. Here’s a look at what landscape maintenance generally includes.
The Basics
First and foremost, regular lawn care is an important part of keeping your landscape looking its best. This means mowing the lawn on a regular basis, as well as fertilizing and watering it properly. It’s also important to keep an eye out for any weeds or pests that might be threatening your lawn, and to address them right away.
In addition, you’ll need to regularly trim any bushes or trees that are part of your landscape design. This will help them stay healthy and looking their best. You’ll also want to remove any dead branches or leaves from time to time.
Finally, it’s important to keep your landscape clean. This means sweeping up any leaves or debris that accumulate, and making sure that your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris. By taking care of your landscape, you can enjoy it for many years to come.
Professional Landscape Maintenance
There are, of course, many things that go into landscape design that are better handled by the professionals. For one, this work can require technical skills and machinery that most homeowners don’t have access to.
For another, landscape design can be very time-consuming. This is especially true if you’re starting from scratch or making major changes to your existing landscape. If you don’t have the time or patience to do it yourself, hiring a professional can save you a lot of headaches.
Here are some of the main services Spring Falls Landscaping provides when it comes to maintaining landscape designs.
Fertilization & Weed Control
Fertilization is important to keeping your lawn and plants healthy. It’s also important to control weeds, which can take over your lawn and garden if left unchecked.
Aeration
Aeration is a process of punching small holes in the ground to allow air, water and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass.
Drainage Systems
If you have a problem with standing water in your yard, installing a drainage system can help. French drains, for example, are a type of drainage system that can collect and redirect water.
Tree & Shrub Care
Trees and shrubs need to be pruned and trimmed on a regular basis to keep them healthy and looking their best. While you can do much of this yourself, large trees with loose branches should be handled by a professional.
Sprinkler Head Adjustments & Repairs
If your sprinkler system isn’t working properly, it could be because the sprinkler heads need to be adjusted or repaired. This is something that a professional can do quickly and easily.
Water Feature Maintenance
If you have a water feature on your property, it will need to be maintained in order to keep it functioning properly. This includes things like regularly cleaning out the pump and keeping the water level topped off.
