Discover the Benefits of Expert Planting Design: Enhancing Aesthetics, Functionality, and Property Value

Nothing enhances your property more than thoughtfully chosen and meticulously planned plantings that define the space and boost its aesthetic appeal. Landscape design and plantings not only improve curb appeal but also increase property value. Depending on the intended use of the space, plantings can be arranged to create an attractive landscape that complements its purpose. Plantings can offer privacy, promote relaxation, provide space for entertainment, or add visual interest to your property.

To appreciate the benefits of landscape planting, it’s crucial to first consider how you plan to use the space. Well-planned plantings incorporate retaining walls, water features, brick paver patios and walkways, boulders and ledge stone, plants, perennial gardens, and trees. Plantings can help keep your property updated with evolving styles and looking beautiful throughout the seasons. Plantings also have the potential to add structural integrity to your yard, as various elements can prevent soil erosion. When you work with MF Landscape & Design, we will take the time to understand your vision for your plantings and customize our designs to match your style and requirements.

Enhance Your Property with Strategic Plantings: Boosting Aesthetics, Functionality, and Year-Round Visual Interest

A fantastic landscape not only serves a functional purpose for a property but can also be a work of art for property owners and visitors to enjoy. Plants and colors can be used to bring your garden to life in every season. Consider the appearance of your garden as seasons change; the types of plants selected can add height, variety, and visual interest. A mix of plants and flowers can also change with the seasons, ensuring that something is always in bloom and colors complement the season and surroundings. MF can plan and design plantings that are either annual or perennial, depending on the style and function of the space. Another advantage of successful landscaping is the added functionality it can bring to your yard.

Our designers understand how to use plantings to achieve various purposes such as screening, erosion control, dividers, shade, noise control, focal points, and aesthetics. Choosing the right plants is just as important to the success and function of your landscape as the placement and spacing of the plantings. Understanding how each plant grows, the space it needs, and other plants that complement its growth will create a dynamic landscape. Plantings can be used to create a manageable landscape that fulfills both function and visual appeal.

The Planting Checklist

To ensure the success of your new plants, trees, and/or shrubs, we ask that you review this pre-installation checklist:

1. Are drainage, climate, and exposure (sun, shade & wind) conditions appropriate for the plants being installed? If you’re unsure, please ask us for advice.
2. Is the area clear of all stumps, ground cover, and debris?
3. Mark all lines if they’re in the planting area. Are there gas, power, cable, drain, water, sprinkler, or invisible fence lines in the area? If you’re unsure about public utility lines, call Dig Safe for free marking services.
4. Have you staked the area to clearly identify where the plants go? Write the name of each plant on each stake.
5. Is the planting area easy to find? Are all gates unlocked? Can the area be reached with a wheelbarrow?
6. Do you have a dog? Make sure to notify us if so.

Taking these steps will help ensure a smooth installation process and the long-term success of your new landscape.

Maximize Plant Health: Essential Plant Care After Installation Tips and Guidelines

WATERING

After planting, trees and shrubs should be watered thoroughly. After the first initial watering, water when the soil is dry to the touch – about 1.5-inch or knuckle deep.

Watering will usually be needed every two days; however, check regularly and only water when necessary. Too much water or lack of water are top reasons plants fail to grow. Water more frequently during long periods of hot and dry weather. Try to water before noon during warm weather. In the fall, be sure to water any new plants once a week until the ground freezes. It might not be necessary to water when a week’s rainfall is at least 1-inch.

If plants are in clay soil, be sure they do not sit in water.

To encourage a deep root system, let a slow trickle of water soak into the soil at the plant base for 10-15 minutes.

MULCH

Keep the soil cultivated and grass-free around trees, or mulch with 1 to 2-inches of organic material such as pine, fir, or cypress bark, or soil conditioner.

FERTILIZING

We recommend using Bio-tone Plant Starter Plus at planting time. This should be sufficient for the first year.

PROTECTION

Trunk-wrap young trees the first winter season to prevent sun-scald. Remove wrap in warm weather. Evergreens should be screened from wind and salt spray.

Following these guidelines will help your newly planted trees and shrubs grow successfully and maintain their health in the long run.
