Have you ever wondered whether you need to be performing all of your landscape planting for your trees, perennials, turf and various other plants in the spring or the fall? If you did not realize, it is alright since most people don't. Actually, the most typical thing our landscaping company hear from our clientele when it comes to putting together their landscaping is "we will wait until early 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.

2012 has been very hot and waterless for Olathe landscaping. We've observed landscaping clients that were rather dedicated to watering their landscaping and performing what it takes to keep everything alive lose a lot of the landscaping. Sad to say, the tough summer time of 2012 wound up eliminating a great deal of landscaping for even extremely committed homeowners.

A very important factor that we did see is that most of the landscaping that was failing was landscaping which had been planted in spring. Customers that had planted during the fall on the contrary had zero difficulties with keeping their landscape alive. There is actually a quite simple reason this is.

You need a solid root system for your plants and autumn planting does that. Making sure you have a solid and deep root system is critical for your landscaping to flourish. The truth is, the further you go into the ground, the more water there is. If the landscaping only has a superficial root system it will be barely surviving in the heat to obtain the water it needs to make it through.

Don't be overly afraid that if you don't plant during the falltime of 2012 the 2013 landscaping will absolutely die. If we wind up having year you will probably be fine. This high level of heat we have encountered this year has shown that planting your landscape in the fall produces very secure plants.

Think about how good your falltime planted landscape will perform if we do have a really good year in 2013. If you would like a smaller amount upkeep and watering, making sure the plants have deep root systems will permit the water in the soil to do a lot of 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.
