Landscaping Under a Deck

Posted by New York Landscaping    

Landscaping under a deck Marketing Design

Did it ever occur to you that landscaping under a deck design marketing was something that was essential to your business as are a good aesthetic sense and a knowledge of horticulture? Chances are, if you are someone who puts a lot of time and love into their work, you’ve never really thought about why you need to think about marketing. Shouldn’t your work speak for itself? Shouldn’t people be able to look at your design and figure out why your work is the best? The problem is, the answer is a most emphatic “NO!” With plenty of friends in the business and with an eye towards helping them make money, I’ve seen a lot when it comes to this business, and one of the first things I noticed is how few people are making the most out of their marketing opportunities.

When you are thinking of landscaping under a deck design marketing, you’ll find that the first and foremost thing that you need to do is think about how people are going to find your work. Think about your web presence. More and more people are searching online for all of their landscaping needs, and because of this, you’ll find that if you aren’t online, plenty of people will never find you. If you’ve never put together a website before, and aren’t sure what makes a good one, it’s time to talk to a website designer. If this is your business page, you don’t want to leave it to amateurs; hey, you wouldn’t let a kid with a weed whacker remodel your lawn, right?

One of the nicest things I ever saw a landscaping firm do was send a thank you note to my neighbor after she had her lawn professionally landscaped. It was a very charming gesture, and they happened to include a cute little flower magnet as well, which just happened to have their name and number printed on it. If I think about it, I can still see her magnet on the refrigerator, and you can bet that when she wants to recommend landscaping to someone that she’ll just read off the name and number on the magnet. Have you done anything to make yourself that accessible to newer customers and older ones?

If you are interested in landscaping under a deck design marketing, take some time to get some pictures of what you have done. Take some pictures immediately after you finish your work and ask the people you did it for if you can use it in a brochure or on a website. You’ll find that nothing attracts people like pictures of what their lawn could look like, so make sure that you can give them an idea. Remember that you should always explain what you have done and why; this is when a good website will come in handy.

Planting Trees - Where To Place Landscape And Fruit Trees

Posted by New York Landscaping    

There are many criteria to consider when choosing a landscaping or fruit tree for the garden. When the choice has been made, the question then arises as to where they should be planted. While this may seem obvious, and simply a matter of common sense, judging by the number of needless mistakes one sees both in private and even public gardens, it is necessary to be aware of some basic guidelines on this issue.

Planting trees near paths and entrances

It is unfortunately not uncommon to find a young tree planted a couple meters from a path. The usual rationale is that branches which in the future are liable to disturb passers by, can “always be pruned.” This is absolutely the wrong attitude to take towards the tree. It cannot be cut, severed and butchered at will, without exacting a price, most probably a heavy one, in terms of its future health and longevity. Furthermore, chopping branches short (as opposed to pruning them back to their base) ruins the natural flow and direction of the branch, as well as leaving a permanently ugly wound. The correct distance therefore between the tree and the path, should be a couple of meters at least, added on to the approximate radius of any particular species. (The radius being the distance between the edge of the tree’s canopy and the trunk).

How far should shade trees be planted from the house?

It is generally accepted, although not absolutely essential, that shade trees in hot, dry, and Mediterranean climates be deciduous, that is bare of leaves during the winter. While the shade provided by the foliage cools the house down during the summer, the absence of foliage allows the sun’s rays to warm the house in the winter. To be most effective, the tree’s canopy should rise above the house. This is not always desirable though, as dark, gloomy, claustrophobic conditions could be unintentionally created, while the height of the tree could be out of scale with the building. It is also inappropriate of course where solar energy units have been installed on the roof.

In such circumstances, the shade tree should be planted far enough from the house so that it does not tower over it, yet be close enough so that the shadow from the hot afternoon sun does help to cool down the house, at least to some extent. So again it’s necessary to know the radius of the mature tree’s canopy. The tree should ideally be planted therefore on the south west side of the house. If an evergreen species is used, then it should be tall enough to allow the lower angle of the winter sun’s rays to warm the house somewhat.

Check the requirements of your particular tree to see if it needs to have a great deal of sunlight or if it prefers more shady areas. The dogwood tree is one tree that enjoys partial to mostly shady areas. Determine what tree will work best in your particular area.

The Right Soil and Area
Soil that drains well is a necessity for trees to thrive. Ensure that your planting area has sufficient drainage. You will also need to consider the locations of walkways and entrances to ensure that tree roots will not cause problems and wet leaves will not cause a hazard, such as slipping, on your sidewalk.

Tree Maintenance
When choosing a tree to plant, you need to find a tree with a root ball that is the same size as the trunk’s thickness and the crown size. Check to ensure that no cuts are in the tree’s bark, as well. The hole that you dig should be approximately the same size as the tree trunk.

Using Trees as Borders
