Q: What are the advantages of hardscaping?
A: Hardscaping requires very little maintenance in comparison to landscaping elements. Once the project has been designed and installed, there is little to no maintenance required for years. You are not responsible for mowing, watering, pruning, or trimming. Depending on the type of installation, you may occasionally need to pull weeds from the patio paver or slabs of concrete. Occasionally, you may also need to sweep or clean your hardscaping to keep it looking its best. However, this requires minimal effort, especially when used in place of landscaping features.
Q: Should I regularly apply mulch to my lawn?
A: Regular mulching conserves moisture, protects plant roots by maintaining a more uniform soil temperature, prevents soil compaction from heavy rains, and reduces erosion, particularly on sloped beds.
Q: When is the best time of the year for landscape installation?
A: Landscaping occurs throughout the year in cycles. Spring is typically the optimal time for preparing and planting flower beds and initiating hardscaping projects. During the summer, the majority of large landscaping and hardscaping projects are completed. Fall is a great time to plant trees and bushes due to the cooler temperatures. In the fall, hardscaping continues until the ground freezes or it begins to snow.
Q: What is the distinction between hardscaping and landscaping?
A: Modern landscaping refers to the design, planning, and construction of gardens and other features that create usable space for outdoor activities and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area surrounding a home. Landscaping includes both hardscaping and softscaping, although softscaping and landscaping are often used interchangeably. Hardscaping refers to the use of inorganic materials such as stone and woodwork, retaining walls, brick patio pavers, decks, and fire pits, among others.
Q: How do I effectively eliminate weeds from my lawn?
A: Conditions favorable for plant growth are also favorable for weed growth. However, there are measures you can take to prevent early weed growth and eliminate weeds that do appear. Use landscaping fabric to cover the soil in your flower beds and garden where you don’t want weeds to grow. Then, apply a herbicide such as Preen to further inhibit weed growth. If weeds do appear, remove the entire weed, including the root, as soon as possible to prevent it from returning.
Q: What is sod landscaping, and why do I need it?
A: Sod lawns are an option for homeowners who want attractive grass landscaping but don’t want to start from scratch. Sod installation is the process of applying a thick layer of grass to a new or existing landscape. Using sod, homeowners can have the yard of their dreams without investing time and money in purchasing and maintaining trees, plants, seeds, and other landscaping elements.
