Getting Ready for Spring

March 21, 2014 by

SilvermanDenver Landscaper Blog-How To Get Your Yard Ready For The Spring 

Spring is a time of the year that many people look forward to because of the warm weather. If you are like a lot of people, then you probably spend a lot of time outdoors during the spring months. That is why you will need to start preparing your yard for the spring right now.

You will need to rake all of the debris away from winter and fall. This includes things such as sticks and leaves. The leftover debris on your lawn can get in the way of planting seeds, watering and mowing the lawn. Raking not only helps remove debris, but it also helps loosen the surface of the soil. This helps encourage healthy airflow.

You should mow your grass with a sharp blade. Cut off about 1/3 of the grass blade. This will encourage your grass to grow healthier and thicker. How often you need to cut your grass is dependent upon how fast it grows. However, you will probably need to cut your grass once a week during the spring months.

If you are looking for a landscaper in Denver, then you should consider contacting Wild Irishman. Wild Irishman has been in the business for 15 years and offers a variety of services for a great price.

Adding Soil for Xeriscapes

March 17, 2014 by

When xeriscaping a lawn, landscapers and homeowners need to be aware of the needs of the plant life used. Many areas designed with xeriscaping will benefit from composting. Compost materials help the soil to retain water. However, some plants commonly used in xeriscaping actually benefit more from gravel-based soils containing fewer nutrients.

In the Denver area, most native plants will benefit from composting. Although minimal composting is required, most plants will thrive with one to two inches of compost material spread over the area. After composting, the clay-based local soil up to six inches deep, landscapers can effectively plant low-maintenance native flora.

Homeowners who have large patches of land in full sunlight might prefer to landscape using cacti instead of native flora. This type of vegetation provides a viable alternative for those wishing to use xeriscaping techniques, but soil preparation will be considerably different. Sandy soil is best, and a cactus garden requires only about 10 percent organic material. The average rainfall in the Denver area should provide about the right amount of moisture to cacti grown outdoors.

Xeriscaping in Denver can be done using a wide variety of plant life, and those choosing this earth-friendly technique can select from several different looks to find what most appeals to them.
