Congratulations on your new landscape!
A landscape is a living thing... Much like a baby coming home from the hospital, it requires loving care to ensure that it is healthy and grows.
Here are a few tips to keeping your landscape healthy and beautiful for years to come!
Softscape
All new plantings need to be watered daily for 15-20 minutes for the next two weeks. After the two-week period you can adjust your irrigation to water normal settings. In the summer and spring, we recommend watering 3 times a week and in fall and winter 2 times a week. This may vary per your HOA. If you see any signs of stress in your plants, please take a picture and email it to your designer for advice on care. - Please see your signed contract for warranty information.
Sod and Seed
All new sod and seed installations need to be watered daily for two weeks for 30-45 minutes. After two weeks the settings can be adjusted back to normal. It is normal to see a little browning and yellowing during this process but if you see signs that are concerning, please send a picture to your designer. All new sod should be treated for sod web worms which may come from the sod farm. Your turf/pest company can take care of this, or you can contact us to have our sister company Turf Organix treat. Please see your signed contract for warranty information.
Hardscape
All our hardscape installations come with a Lifetime warranty unless otherwise specified. Please allow 30 days for any sanding or settling. Warranty covers first visit at no charge, any visit after that will come with a $150 service call charge unless waived by management during review of claim. If you are looking to seal your hardscape, please wait 60 days before doing so.
Lighting
All our lighting installations come with a 1-year warranty on fixtures, transformers, and wires cut due to not being buried properly. The warranty does not cover bulbs. Any service needed outside of the previously mentioned covered issues will have a $150 service call fee associated with a tech coming out.
Mulching:
Re-mulch to a depth of 2-3” annually to maintain root and soil health, insulate roots from heat and cold, and keep weeds down.
Fertilization:
Fertilize around the base of all plantings with a general, granulated, slow-release fertilizer twice a year, in fall and spring. Palms will need specialized palm fertilizer applied as per the products guidelines. Although all plantings are installed with a two-year slow release fertilizer, additional fertilization is recommended starting at the 6 month- 1 year mark to ensure best growth and plant health.
Pruning:
Plants (like people) need haircuts and maintenance. Regular and appropriate pruning depending on plant variety helps keep plants in their best shape. Ask your designer about appropriate pruning methods for any of your installed plants.
Irrigation:
All irrigation work has a 30-day warranty that only involves improper installation. Such as heads not set to correct height, pressure issues, or coverage. Any pipe breaks or damaged heads due to third parties will not be covered under the warranty.
