Landscaping care guide
Watering: Amount of water needed for each type of plant differs. Larger balled and burlaped plants and trees require less frequent watering. Smaller container plants and flowers need more frequent watering. Rainfall and temperature determine watering needs. During rainy, cooler weather be careful not to over water. During hot dry weather, plants may require daily watering. When watering is needed be sure to saturate the entire root zone are. Do not use sprinkler or water plants. Trees and plants planted in heavy clay soil are easy to drown. Do not over water.
Fertilizer: All plants and trees should be fertilized after one month. Be sure to use proper type and amount for each particular plant, tree or flower. Continue to fertilize according to manufacturer directions for the life of the plant.
Disease and insects: Closely inspect plants and trees for problems. Follow manufacturer’s directions. When self-treating plants call one of our professional care experts if you have any questions.
