Ever wonder whether you need to be doing landscape planting for your trees, perennials, grass and various other plants in the spring or the fall? Most of the people don't think about this. Actually, the most typical thing our landscaping company hear from our clientele when it comes to planting is "we are going to hold off until spring to plant."
The fact of the subject is that autumn is the absolute best time to lay down your sod and take care of all of your landscaping. The drought of This year showed the importance of fall landscape planting a lot more than any other year we have seen in a really long time.
Some have called it the year "Landscaping Apocalypse of 2012." We observed landscape clients who had been highly committed to watering their landscaping and undertaking what must be done to keep everything living lose a lot of the plants. Even the heavily determined landscaping enthusiasts ended the season seeing a lot of the landscaping die.
Something that everyone did observe is that all of the landscaping which had been dying was landscaping which had been planted during spring. A fascinating factor is the fact that there weren't any problems with those who planted in the fall time of 2011. There is a quite simple answer why this is.
Planting in the autumn permits all of your landscaping to build a powerful root system. Getting a solid and penetrating root system is vital for the landscaping to flourish. If your landscaping only has a trivial root system it will be striving in the high temperatures to get the water it needs to endure.
Putting together their landscaping in springtime doesn't mean the landscaping will die however. Should we end up having a good year you will likely be fine. The crazy high amount of heat we have experienced this season has proven the fact that landscaping in the fall will produce very strong plants.
Just imagine how well your autumn planted landscaping will do if we do have a really good 2013. With that said, if you invest in your landscaping now just before winter, you'll have a lot less required maintenance and watering next spring and summer because the deep soil moisture will be doing most of the hard work for you.
To conclude, the regular misunderstanding that springtime landscape planting is the best way to go just isn't true. If you desire a much healthier landscape at your place for the summer pre-winter landscape planting is the approach to take. And it's also always a definite plus to not need to water and perform landscape maintenance as much as you'll have to with spring planting. It's a win win circumstance for everyone.
