Review Our Landscape Care Instructions
You can always trust Pro-Mow Landscaping to help your landscapes thrive. Between our visits though, you can take care of your landscaping using these tips. Read the following to learn more about what you should do.
Plant and Tree Watering
Watering is vital for the livelihood of your perennials, shrubs, and trees, especially during their first two years of life. This is when the root systems are maturing. Different soil types require different watering amounts.
The top killer of plants and trees is not watering at all or waiting too long to water. The second biggest killer is overwatering in clay soils. You will need to do a water check to see the moisture levels of your soil. The water check is recommended weekly until you establish a watering schedule.
Water Check
The water check helps you determine how much water your plants need. Start by watering one to four times per week, depending on the soil type and time of year. Then, before you water each week, check the moisture of your soil by placing your hand 4 to 6 inches below the surface just outside of the plant's root system.
If it's too dry, you need to increase your watering. If it's too wet, then you need to reduce how much you water.
Sandy and Clay Soil
Your soil type has a big impact on your plant health. Most properties have sandy or clay soil.
Sandy soil drains well and typically needs more water, depending on the time of year and overall sun exposure. Clay soil will often appear dry on the surface, but it holds moisture below the surface.
Start by watering two times a week. You can vary this based on what you think your plants need. Once a hole is dug, clay soil often becomes like a bowl that does not drain. Many properties with clay soil will have plants with withering leaves. In this case, more water is not needed. To determine this, do a water check and adjust your watering amounts accordingly.
Evergreens and Trees
Most trees and evergreen plants do not like to be overwater or to sit in wet, clay soil. Complete a water check to see if the soil is wet or dry 4 to 6 inches below the surface. You can adjust your watering habits based on that.
