It’s that time of year, in which many homeowners are working towards improving the look and functionality of their yards. We are often asked what should we work on first? Our suggestions always include starting with the basics to enhance curb appeal and creating a lush and beautiful outdoor space.
Importance of Mulch
Placing new mulch in your garden beds is a quick and easy way to enhance the look of your home. But it also serves an important function to your flower beds! As mulch starts to decompose, it allows important nutrients to go to the roots of your plants! It also helps to keep the roots moist and cool on hot Florida days. Some homeowners prefer to place rock in their garden beds. Although this can look appealing, it often harms the plants as it dries up the roots and does not hold moisture.

​Feeding and Watering

Another important item to complete every 3-4 months is feeding your plants! Providing your plants and trees with some fertilizer will help them grow and flourish throughout the year. When watering your plants, we suggest watering trees and shrubs everyday, and ensuring all flowers receive a one minute shower to keep the roots wet.

Weeding

We recommend weeding your garden beds as needed. This instantly improves the look of your garden. You can also cut back overgrown plants and trees for a fresh look.

Plant Location
Another thing to consider is plant placement in your yard. Make sure you pick the right plants for the right place! Some plants love full sun, while others only require partial sun. Placing plants in the correct location will determine their longevity and adaption to your overall yard design.

I like your landscaping tips. I need to get a contractor for my backyard. I'll have to hire someone who does well with hedges.

I didn't know that mulch had such an enhancing effect. I need to get a landscaper to redo my lawn. Much of it has died and needs to be revived.

Thanks for pointing out that having fertilizers for the plants and trees will ensure that they will grow well throughout the year. In that case, we need to include this for the landscaping products for the backyard when we hire landscapers this year. It will definitely help me achieve the lush garden that I always wanted for the front yard of my property.

Proper weeding could make a big difference to our landscape this year, especially with how rough summer has been so far. I can bet that properly weeding things out and fertilizing the soil afterward could really help us keep the entire place healthy and orderly. I'll start looking for a residential landscape expert that can help us with these kinds of processes as early as now.

It's interesting to know that plant placement ensures that they can last for a long time and will be able to adapt to your design. I should probably hire landscape services here in Maui instead, since I have no idea with what plants have to be under the sun or not. So it's better to let the experts work for my while I give them the vision I have on how I want the backyard to look like which is inspired by a photo I saw on a magazine before.

It's interesting when you said that installing a new batch of mulch could help provide more appearance to your home. My aunt told me last night that she was hoping to find a reliable landscaping service that could upgrade the look of their garden, and she asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. Thanks to this helpful article, I'll be sure to tell her that she can try to consult well-known landscaping services as they can provide more information about their services.

It captivated me the most when you shared that mulching provides a quick and easy way to enhance a landscape. My mother wants to upgrade the look of our landscape. I should advise her to seek help from a store that offers and supply high-quality landscape products.

I appreciate your mentioning that feeding your plants should be done at least once every three to four months. I'm upgrading my landscaping so I can host an event in my garden. To assist me with upgrading, I'll seek out a residential landscaping specialist.

It's great that you described how we'd create a wonderful landscape design and keep it looking good all the time. My sister has tried to start a garden way too many times, so she just decided it's time to call for professional help, but I think she'd learn a lot by reading your article too. Thanks for the advice on weeding a garden to make it look fresh and clean.

I liked it the most when you shared that fertilizers allow r plants and trees to grow and flourish throughout the year. My friend told me that their landscape is no longer inviting. I think they should get landscape maintenance to restore its beauty.

Thanks for elaborating on how important it is to water your landscape garden to prevent drought. I want to help my mom with her plans to create a lush and green garden around her retirement home. I think finding a grass lawn service that can look after her garden when she cannot do so is a convenient service.

Thank you for explaining how important the location of the plants is. I wouldn't have thought about how this would affect their growth. I'll be sure to keep this in mind when going over which plants we would like in out landscaping's design.

I loved how you said that you can enhance the look of your home with mulch! My husband and I want to look into redecorating the landscape at our new home next month after the holidays are over, so I wanted to learn more about what we can add to it.

It helped when you said that you could enhance the appearance of your home by installing mulch. A couple of days ago, my mother told me she was hoping to find a reliable landscaping service that could upgrade the appearance and efficiency of her garden. She asked if I had any thoughts on the best option to consider. Thanks to this enlightening article. I'll tell her we can try to consult well-known landscape design services as they can provide more information about the design process.

There are a few simple landscaping ideas you can use to improve your home's curb appeal. First, make sure your lawn is mowed and that all the weeds are pulled. This will give your yard a neater appearance. Next, trim your hedges and bushes so they are nicely shaped. You may also want to add some color to your landscaping by planting flowers. Be sure to choose flowers that will bloom in the season you are trying to improve curb appeal for. Finally, make sure your walkway and driveway are free of any cracks or stains. A clean and well-maintained home will have much more curb appeal than one that is neglected.
