Planting Services Designed to Root Beauty and Growth
When you're considering plant selection and tree planting, professional guidance can make all the difference when it comes to ensuring a thriving, low-maintenance yard that looks great year-round. A few things that your landscaping designer will discuss with you before choosing plants:
- Climate compatibility - The Irvine area has warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters, so choosing drought-tolerant plants that can stand up to the heat and deliver the perfect sun-to-shade ratio is important.
- Water conservation - Plant selection is key in xeriscaping, which is a landscaping technique that minimizes water usage by installing drought-resistant plants and efficient irrigation systems.
- Soil conditions - Installing plants that work with your soil type and ensuring that drainage conditions are suitable will support healthy plants and year-round blooms.
- Resistance to pests and diseases - Selecting plant varieties that are naturally resistant to pests and diseases can reduce the need for pesticides and other treatments.
- Aesthetics and functionality - Incorporate native plants that complement your Irvine home's architecture and align with your needs for shade, privacy, and erosion control.
- Maintenance and future growth - It's important to consider the upkeep required and the size of mature plants and their growth habits to make sure that the plants fit your space and your lifestyle.
