Do you fertilize plants?
We fertilize all plantings at the time of installation. We offer regular fertilization plans as an additional service.
How often should I water my plants?
Newly installed plants should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out to the point of wilt. This will vary depending upon the time of year and the soil conditions and the size of the root ball. Rule of thumb would be daily for the first 2 weeks, odd days over the next 2 weeks then 2-3 times weekly until established.
Is the labor cost included in the price of the plant or is it separate?
Our pricing includes the cost of the plant and installation. Additional cost for delivery sometime applies.
Do you bring in new soil?
Depending on the soil conditions at the site we may or may not add soil amendments like topsoil, sand, potting soil, overburden, compost and mulch.

What’s include in a maintenance visit?

Which time of day is the best to water my lawn and landscape?
We recommend that sprinkler watering takes place in the early morning hours 1AM – 5AM. Watering at night allows the water to sit overnight which may increase the development of fungus and other disease.
