Richard Landscaping is a personal gardening service company that services residential properties, and selected commercial properties; desiring to enhance their image through beautifully maintained landscapes without leaving the standard foot prints in the process. We also design and execute custom gardens that recognize client priorities and bring forth the potential of plants and other meaningful elements to achieve better livings areas and reflect our client's life style. By personal service, we mean our crew and a one person contact for all of your land care service requirements.
This summer we have experienced one of the most unusual weather patterns we have had in many years. Heavy rains, very hot and dry days - all that takes its toll on our gardens, and we need to be prepared. Keep your eyes open, for new pests (lots of scale, grasshoppers, weeds, and fungus) are thriving and are more aggressive than ever! Make sure your property handles the water properly, or you might find your basement flooded! It is important to protect the area where the water moves out of your property with gravel or other ground cover that doesn't get washed away; sometimes you may need to regrade or install drainage ditches to achieve this.
This fall is time to renovate your lawn and the best practice to help the seeds find the best soil to germinate is aerate-over seed-add compost and right watering! Temperatures are cooler and weeds are getting dormant-perfect time to introduce the right seed to your property. Following soil test results, you probably will need to add a fertilizer and amendment to keep your soil in the right pH and keep nutrients in the right balance. This will allow the grass to find the right conditions next year to growth ticker and take over weeds a little more; weeds are more adapted for harder pHs and difficult physical conditions.
