Have you ever wondered whether you need to be doing all your landscape planting for your shrubs, perennials, sod and other plants in the springtime or the fall season? Most people just wait around for early spring to return to get the landscaping started. It is a pretty typical misunderstanding.

Planting your landscape during the fall season is ideal. The drought of This year showed the need for fall time landscape planting more than every other year we have witnessed in a really long while.

2012 has been exceptionally hot and dry for Olathe landscaping. There seemed to be a great deal of plant death for a number of our landscaping clients. The extremely devoted landscaping fanatics ended the season having a large amount of their landscaping die.

It was the springtime rooted landscape that had been taking the hardest hit. An interesting factor is the fact that there had not been virtually any issues with people who planted during the fall season of 2011. Do you want to discover the reason why? Let's talk about it.

Planting during the fall time permits all your landscaping to build up a solid root system. If you'd like your landscaping to succeed and live, a deep root system is essential. The truth is, the further your root system goes in to the dirt, the more water there is. Landscape with trivial roots are going to have trouble staying alive during the high temperature.

Bare in mind, the 2012 Landscaping Apocalypse we experienced has been a one off heat spell. Putting together their landscaping during spring doesn't mean the landscaping will perish however. An excellent season can do wonders for springtime planted landscapes. The high level of heat we have experienced this year has shown the truth that planting your landscape in the fall time will produce very secure plants.

This is a question though, if autumn planted landscape managed to get through the high heat, how well will fall time landscaping do throughout a year of flourishing? If you want a smaller amount servicing and plant watering, making certain the plants have strong and deep root systems will allow the moisture in the soil to do a lot of work for you.

In summary, the typical misconception that spring landscape planting is the best way to go just isn't legitimate. If you want a healthy landscape at your house for the spring and summer pre-winter landscape planting is the way to go. And it's obviously a major plus to not be required to water the lawn and perform landscape upkeep as much as you'll have to with spring landscape planting.
