Have you taken into consideration whether or not you'll want to be doing all your landscape planting for your bushes, perennials, grass and other plants in the spring or the fall time? If perhaps you just didn't realize, it really is fine because most people don't. In truth, the most frequent thing our landscaping company pick up from the customers when it comes to planting is "we'll just hold off until spring to plant."

The fact of the matter is that fall is the best time to lay down the sod and do all of your landscaping. And the drought that we have encountered this year has shown that to be true.

This year turned out to be very harsh for landscaping all together. A lot of people are calling 2012 "Landscape Apocalypse." There seemed to be a great deal of plant lose for a lot of our landscape clientele. The extremely committed landscaping enthusiasts ended the summer having a great deal of their landscape die.

It turned out to be the springtime rooted landscape that had been taking the hardest hit. Customers which had planted within the fall time in contrast didn't have issues with keeping their landscaping living. So you want to discover why that is? Let's talk about it.

You need a solid root system for your plants and fall time planting does just that. If you'd like your landscaping to flourish and live, a deeply rooted root system is essential. The truth is, the further you go into the dirt, the more water you will find. Landscape with shallow roots will probably have difficulty staying alive during the burning summers.

Putting together their landscaping in spring doesn't mean the landscaping will absolutely perish though. Should we have a very good year you will probably be fine. The crazy high level of heat we all have experienced during 2012 has shown the fact that landscaping during the fall delivers very good plants.

Just imagine how well your fall planted landscaping is going to do if we end up having an outstanding year in 2013. With that said, if you invest in your landscaping now prior to the winter season, you should have a good deal less needed maintenance and plant watering next spring and summer since the deep soil water will be undertaking a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

It's simply not the case that planting in the spring is the ideal season to do your landscaping. If you want a much healthier landscape at your house for the spring and summer pre-winter landscape planting is the path to take. And it's always a major plus to not need to water the lawn and do landscape maintenance as much as you would need to with springtime planting. It's always a win win situation for everyone.
