Why does a rock garden work as part of landscape remodeling in Phoenix?  First off, there is aesthetics.  Rock gardens look natural, and add a touch of nature’s beauty to any garden.  Second, as rocks make up part of the garden, there aren’t as many plants used, which makes watering easier.  Another thing that’s a nice touch about rock gardens is the fact that they don’t just make a garden, they make a mini ecosystem.  Plant some xeriscape plants like a hummingbird plant, or any other plant that will draw pollinators.  You will see bees, butterflies, and birds gathering around your rock garden which adds a charming touch to either a front or back yard. In Arizona, you can even get boulders that have a pretty aqua vein of chrysocolla.   Rock gardens with plants can still offer a relaxing and beautiful space.

You want to call in a service for this particular landscape remodel Phoenix.  Rock gardens take a lot of work to set up.  You want to pick the right size rocks, as well as the plants that will work between them. Make sure that your design has the right amount of drainage as well as your  soil level.  Once you set up your rock garden, how much work does it need?

Rock Garden-Landscape Remodeling in Phoenix the Easy Way

Landscape Remodel Phoenix Part 2: Ideas for Spring

Posted on by Larry

Part two of a series on getting a landscape remodel Phoenix explores ideas for spring.  What flowers should you plant in the spring? Well read on to find out!

Landscape Remodeling:  What Flowers You Should Plant in the Spring?

First off, it is fall, slowly entering into Arizona’s all too brief winter.  Right now, you want to think about planting bulb flowers such as tulips, amaryllis, crocuses, and irises.  You want to make sure that the last of the frost is off the ground.   Most bulbs that you buy in a garden shop were probably dug up in the early summer.  As long as they are not withered, and look full and plump they’re ready for planting.  Be sure to get your bulbs into the ground as soon as possible. Storing them out of soil too long cause them to wither and die.   When in doubt call in a landscaping service for a landscape remodel.  They’ll be able to plant them for you as well as tell you some pointers.

One such tip for a landscape remodel Phoenix is to put your bulbs on top of the ground and surround them with a mound of  potting soil kept in place with a bit of chicken wire.  In the spring, remove the chicken wire, and after your blooms have gone, wait about 4-6 weeks and then cut the stalks up and dig up the bulbs.  However, it isn’t just bulb flowers that you want to plant in the spring.  You want to start looking at seed too.

Seed Planting and a Landscape Remodel Phoenix

As landscaping pros, we are kind of ambivalent about seed planting.  So many times, when customers are keen to do a bit of landscape remodeling, they cut open a seed pack, and plant the seeds hoping for a bunch of pretty flowers, just like what’s on the package, only to have nothing happen.  A lot of seeds are rip offs.  A good way to get seeds started is to either put them into pots, or soak them for up to a week before you plant them, depending on the species of course.

Some seed based flowers however, just will not grow in Arizona.  Even though the back of the packet shows that you can grow them here, ask around.  And again, when in doubt call in a professional service for a landscape remodel Phoenix.

Let’s start with bulb flowers.  There is an old saying “to get tulips in the spring,  you need to plant bulbs in the fall.”  Okay, there is no old saying, we made that one up.  It is true however, that you want to plant bulb flowers such as tulips, irises, daffodils, crocuses, and narcissus, as well as amaryllis in the fall. If you buy your bulbs in advance of  your planting time, keep them in a cool dry place.   Temperatures higher than 70º F. can damage the small seedling inside the bulb.  A lot of spring blooming flowers grow from bulbs that must be planted in the fall, while annuals that prefer cooler temperatures are planted in early fall. Some example of non-bulb flowers that grow in the autumn include mums, zinnias, and petunias.  Consult a landscape design professional for tips on what flowers to plant in the fall.

Depending on your needs, you can either grow fall annuals in containers or plant them directly in your garden. Container displays  are easy to clean up when the season is over, while you’re going to have to do a bit of digging to take out fall flowers. Regardless of whether you’re looking at bulbs or seeds, you want to make sure that the location you’re looking at is suitable for the type of flowers you’re planting.

Flowers for The Fall:  Light, Temperature and Soil Types

In selecting a site for planting bulb flowers,   be aware that  bulbs need full sun. Pick a  site with  at least five hours of direct sunlight each day. In Arizona, make sure that you either consult a landscape service regarding how much water you’re going to need, or look up information about the amount of water they’re going to need.  When in doubt, a good rule of thumb is once a week.

You want your garden to be beautiful.  Flowers are a definite morale boost.  So start out with a bit of knowledge.  Know what flowers to plant in the fall.
