    If the bud is damaged by a late cold snap and the buds are damaged will delay the buddying process and when finally breaks buds will the new leaves be deformed ?

    • Rebecca Oberman Reply

      The buds that are already out may get damaged, but new buds should continue to grow that should not be affected.

    Hi, my mom’s been really into gardening lately and she’s planning a big landscaping project in our backyard. She’s looking for a bark mulch supplier because she wants to add a layer of mulch to her flower beds to help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay. I hope she knows how to take into account the following aspects when selecting mulch for your garden: price, availability, simplicity of application, and mulch appearance. As you said, dense enough to prevent weed development, yet loose and light enough to let air and water into the soil, is the perfect mulch.

    It’s excellent that you went into detail about how the landscaper would evaluate any drainage problems you might have and offer advice on how to move water from your downspouts and ensure that it doesn’t leak into your foundation, along with a plan for repairing any low spots. To address any problems, the design can be modified to include French drains, dry river beds, and other strategies. I need to make architectural changes to my commercial property to draw in tenants and increase available space. I appreciate you providing these useful suggestions; I’ll bear them in mind while I search for the top landscaping firms in my region.

    Good article about invasive plants. (I still love my butterfly bushes, but I know why they have been added to the list.) Thank you for stocking many native plants and helping to highlight their importance.

    It’s so cute that my mom has been into gardening lately. I think this is a good hobby and interest to adopt now that she’s retired and has lots of time on her hands. Anyway, she’s looking for a mulch delivery at the moment. I need her to know that over mulching (more than 3 inches) can bury and smother plants because the roots are cut off from water and oxygen. She will be happy to know how two to three inches of mulch is plenty. Thanks for this.

    • Rebecca Oberman Reply

      That is so great that your mom is into gardening! We are always happy to help with any tips needed (:

    I love the idea of installing a water feature. It can make the outdoor space feel more like a resort and create a fun environment for the whole family. While I also believe that installing a swimming pool can be a great idea for those willing to invest more, the concern often arises regarding maintenance. However, it’s worth noting that saltwater pools offer a great solution in this regard. These pools use a salt chlorine generator to produce chlorine from the salt already in the water. This means you won’t have to deal with the hassle of manually handling and adding chlorine, which is often a routine task in traditional pools.

    I finally have a patio area constructed on my residential property in Los Angeles, so I was thinking of working on the hardscaping of my backyard next to give my patio a good garden view. It was quite helpful when you recommended that we use rocks to cover up neglected yard space since we can use this to create a captivating rock garden design instead if we don’t have ample time to take care of a grass lawn. I’ll be sure to bear this in mind while I look for a gravel supplier working in LA to hire for my garden project soon.

  16. Lily Bridgers Reply

    Thanks for the warning that you must exercise caution while mulching your garden since, if done incorrectly, mulch may potentially be damaging. You explained how over-mulching (more than 3 inches) may bury and smother plants, preventing water and oxygen from reaching the roots, and harming your garden. This may be the reason behind my aunt wanting to hire a professional for mulching her yard before her huge landscape renovation project.

      Unfortunately, our deadline for our vendor sign-up form was September 1st. All of our vendor spots are full at this time, but we hope you consider us for next year!

    If there’s one thing I love in my house: it’s my luscious lawn. I really think it’s the perfect addition to our property so I’m keen on hiring a grass service that’ll help me maintain it. Thanks for talking about how if your property has an automated sprinkler system, watering in the rain is a simple error to make. Instead, you said to keep your watering schedule flexible. Thanks again for this.

    • Rebecca Oberman Reply

      We do not have any currently, but we may have them in the spring!

  18. Clare Martin Reply

    It caught my attention when you told us that we should start our fall lawn care with two rounds of fertilizing at the end of September if we want to successfully maintain our lawn in the fall and expect it to be unbeatably healthy once spring comes. I have a house in Boca Raton that I just moved into recently, so I wanted to get some work done on my front lawn since it looks quite barren and ugly in contrast with my beautiful new house. I’ll keep this in mind while I look for a landscaping company in Boca Raton to hire for lawn maintenance soon.

  19. Lily Bridgers Reply

    Last month, I moved into a new home with the biggest yard that homes some of the best oak trees I have seen in my entire life. I want to have it maintained so I feel like hiring a tree pruning service. As you said here, selectively removing branches from your trees and shrubs is the procedure of pruning. In order to optimize the structure of your plant and promote new, you even explained that healthy development removes any waning or congested branches. Thanks.

  21. Clare Martin Reply

    I’ve always enjoyed looking at rock gardens like those in Japan, and now that my new house has a wide backyard, I was thinking of setting one up here soon. It’s great that you brought up how gravel gardens are a good idea if we want to place a ground cover for our neglected yard space but do not have enough time to take care of a grass lawn ourselves. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind and contact a gravel supplier for the rocks I’ll be needing for my gravel garden at home soon.

    Your tips on protecting pavement with fire blocks and knowing the location of utility lines are crucial. I also appreciated the step-by-step instructions for both above-ground and in-ground fire pit construction. The maintenance tips, such as scooping out ashes and using seasoned wood, will help readers keep their fire pits in good condition. Overall, a comprehensive and helpful guide for anyone looking to create a cozy outdoor gathering space. Keep up the great work!

    Excellent article outlining the advantages of expert landscape design. I like how the design can increase the property value of our home by boosting the curb appeal.

    I appreciate that you mention that a landscape plan should address light conditions, wind direction, drainage problems and how the homeowner plans to use the different yard areas. I like the idea that landscaping is one of the few investments guaranteed to raise the property value of your home. Trees and shrubs only increase in value as they mature, and a well-landscaped home will sell for more and faster than similar properties in the area.

  34. Mats Wolff Reply

    It’s astonishing how landscaping is one of the few investments that will increase your home’s property worth without fail. We recently purchased a new home, and my wife and I want to employ a landscaping company to help us design our outdoor area. We would need to consult a specialist who could work with us to create a stunning garden. I appreciate the article.

    Thank you recommending the use native plants – something that every homeowner can do. Creating a new garden where there was previously turf grass is a win for the Bay and all of the birds and pollinators that live in the watershed. Non-native plants have little to no benefit while native plants support all kinds of life!

  39. Amy Saunders Reply

    Wow, that’s great! Thanks for letting us know that expert landscape designers would always try their best to get all the relevant tasks done within the designated budget. My next door neighbor has been thinking of beautifying his backyard by planting a few short shrubs. I think it might be smart for him to hire professionals to help make sure everything gets planted and grows correctly.

    The best part of your blog for me is when you said that landscaping could raise the value of your property and improve its curb appeal. My husband and I will take note of this because we are planning to sell our house later this year, and we want to easily find a potential buyer. Maybe, it will be best for us to hire a landscape designer within the week.

    It was really helpful when you mentioned that it is a good idea to remove weeds that are growing near your trees. I would imagine that there are landscaping companies that have plant sprays that can prevent weeds from growing. If the weeds aren’t growing, you won’t have to worry about pulling them out.

    • Sarah Smith Reply

      True! But, we would caution anyone to select weed killing sprays very carefully if at all: those chemicals could harm the young tree if not applied correctly. Mulch or landscaping fabric are great ways to prevent weeds without chemical sprays.

  47. Mats Wolff Reply

    Its amazing when you said that landscaping is one of the few investments that is guaranteed to raise the property value of your home.

    Good thing you mentioned spraying your wooden furniture with a simple spraying solution or recommended detergent soap will do wonders for them.

    I found it interesting when you mentioned that plants are one of the last things to consider when it comes to landscaping. My husband and I just moved into a new house, and we want to make some changes to the yard, but I was mostly thinking in terms of what plants go where. Maybe it would be best to leave the design to a professional so they consider things in the right order of importance.

  69. Joseph Shaw Reply

    Sanseveria is the best. These plants tolerate neglect and poor light. But, give them half a chance and they are performers. I put mine out on the patio for summer and they love it–a little morning sun and warm temps. In winter they go dormant and decorate my living room window.

    The article brings up some very good suggestions about plant selection for your landscaping project. After all, not every plant can survive in any given environment that they find themselves in. Before you buy any plants for the project you want to talk to your landscaping contractor about whether or not the plant in question can even survive in your local area.

    My husband and I are in the process of building our dream home, and the next step is to design the landscaping. We have been trying to decide the different materials we want to use, so I appreciate this information about mulch. I like how you point out that mulch helps increase soil nutrition as it decomposes, which provides better drainage and better use of the nutrients within the mulch itself. Something that is very important to my husband and I is getting the most out of everything we spend our money on, and it sounds like mulch really is a material that would help us accomplish that in our yard. Thanks again for the information!
