Save Time in Your Home Garden With Plant Installation

Save Time in Your Home Garden With Plant Installation

“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.” – Luther Burbank

Gardens can add beauty, ambiance, and life to an otherwise bleak landscape. In a residential yard, home flower gardens can also increase the value and curb appeal

But a properly designed and installed home garden requires a great deal of effort and labor. And plan installation is probably the chief component in all of this.

 

Considering Plant Installation for Your Home

Most people tend to think of just flowers when considering a home garden. However, when it comes to your overall landscaping, it’s helpful to think in two broader categories: trees and shrubs, and also flowers.

According to an article from Better Homes & Gardens,

“Trees, shrubs, and ground covers are permanent purchases that increase in both size and value and take little maintenance. You can even use many edible plants to add to your landscape. They present little extra work except for some added time for harvesting.

Flowers take care and often require replanting, but they can fill in the gaps until your woody plants gain enough size to stand alone. Annuals—like kochia, four-o’clock, strawflower, impatiens, moonflower, and angel’s-trumpet—and perennials—like peony, bee balm, and hosta—can substitute for shrubs the first year or two.”

While flowers are typically easy to plant, when it comes to larger, flowering shrubs and other plants, it can be a bit more challenging.

And, if you have decided to add trees to your existing landscape design, or as a complement to your home garden space, these can require a bit more expertise than most homeowners possess. In addition, installing trees can be far more labor-intensive and require more “hands.”

All of which is why considering professional plant installation for many of your home garden planting needs is a far better choice than a DIY approach.

 

Tree Installation Considered

There is an old saying, “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is today.”

While there is a profound truth to that maxim that speaks to much more than trees, installing a tree any time takes quite a bit of work, and planting a mature tree is definitely not a project most people are prepared to take on by themselves.

The proper planting and installation of a tree has several requirements, such as:

 

In addition, the selection of tree species and the location for tree installation are critical, as well. 

Along with the visual and aesthetic appeal of any type or species of tree, the thickness of the roots, the height of the tree at full-growth, and the width of the tree’s canopy are all aspects to be considered.

These characteristics are important to know and plan for to avoid damage to your property such as driveways or cement walkways when the tree begins to mature.
