Choosing a landscape contractor in Santa Barbara like SB
Evolution Landscape Company to maintain your landscape means you care about how
your property looks. We do too. That is why we want to help you make the most
of your service in between visits with these simple, interim maintenance tips:
Water
Check your local drought restrictions as well as your plants’
watering requirements to determine the best watering program for your Santa
Barbara landscape. Fruits and vegetables
should typically get first priority while some plants are more drought tolerant
and can withstand longer periods between targeted watering.
Deadhead blossoms
Many prolific flowering plants leave spent blossoms that can
detract from the look of the plant or can contribute to littering on the ground
below. Try to deadhead your flowering
plants daily to encourage blooming and to best showcase these garden accents.
Prune
Once flowering trees and shrubs have completed their bloom,
pruning can help maintain their shape and size and keep a neat appearance in
the garden. Consult with your
landscaping company to find out which plants might benefit from pruning and at
what time of year. Agencies like SB
Evolution may offer to make pruning a part of its regular landscape service.
Weeds
Even the most diligent landscapers cannot keep after the
weeds that pop up seemingly overnight during Santa Barbara’s peak growing
season. Plucking errant weeds as you see
them prevents them from stealing the soil’s nutrients and water from prized
plants and keeps the garden looking well kept.
Finally, just as it’s wise to keep after spent blooms and
weeds, picking up fallen fruit and large leaves will likewise maintain your
garden’s orderly appearance and prevent root.
Your California landscape contractor is your best resource
in determining the right program for maintaining your landscape. Keeping a tidy appearance in between service
visits will not only help your garden look its best, it will benefit the health
and vitality of your plants.
