Eden Landscaping and Lawn Care

Modern landscaping is the process of designing, planning, and building gardens and other features that provide usable outdoor space while also improving a home's aesthetics. Landscaping includes both hardscaping and softscaping, and many people use the terms softscaping and landscaping interchangeably. Non-organic materials such as stone and wood, as well as retaining walls, decks, firepits, and other features, are examples of hardscaping. Softscaping ideas include planting, generating burms and grading, and mulching.

Landscaping is done throughout the year in different seasons. In general, spring is the best time to begin hardscaping projects as well as prepare and grow flower beds. During the summer construction season, the majority of significant landscaping and hardscaping projects are completed. Because the weather is cooler in the fall, it is an ideal time to plant trees and plants. In the fall, hardscaping is also done until the ground freezes or snow begins to fall.

Before you begin aerating your lawn with a tool or a machine, make sure the soil is sufficiently moist. Aerating your grass after it has been rained or watered is a good idea.

While we can work in most circumstances, there are instances when a successful treatment is simply not possible, such as when there is severe wind or snow. You will be notified and a new appointment will be set if this is the case.

Ponds are something we create and design. The staff has a lot of experience with garden aquatics and can propose aquatic plants that will help your new pond grow quickly. In addition, we install fountains and water features that can be used to create modern, traditional, or contemporary gardens.

To minimize over-fertilization, it is not suggested to fertilize every two weeks. Fertilizing every two weeks or more will almost likely cause lawn burn, excessive grass growth, and tainted water, all of which can promote harmful algal growth.

Landscaping is done in seasons throughout the year. In general, spring is the greatest season to start hardscaping projects and prepare and grow flower beds. The majority of significant landscaping and hardscaping projects are completed during the summer construction season. Because the temperatures are cooler in the fall, it's an excellent time to plant trees and plants. Hardscaping is also done in the fall until the ground freezes or snow starts to fall.

Make sure your lawn's soil is moist enough before you start aerating with a tool or a machine. It's a good idea to aerate your grass after it's been rained on or watered.

Modern landscaping is the process of designing, planning, and constructing gardens and other features that provide usable space for outside activities while also improving the aesthetics of a home. Hardscaping and softscaping are both included in landscaping, while many people use the terms softscaping and landscaping interchangeably. Hardscaping refers to non-organic materials such as stone and wooden, as well as retaining walls, decks, firepits, and other features. Planting ideas, generating burms and grading, and mulching are all examples of softscaping.

Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and stonework are just a few of the options for your new garden. For driveways, we also lay block pavers.

Ponds are something we design and construct. The staff has a lot of experience with garden aquatics and can make recommendations for aquatic plants that will help your new pond get started. We also install water features and fountains that can be used to create modern, traditional, or contemporary gardens.

The temperature on the ground should ideally be around 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Apply a spring fertilizer three weeks after the grass begins to green up, or after the first two or three mowing.

The trick to making the entire landscaping look nice is to create a focal point around the front door. The focus point is where the eye is drawn when gazing at the scenery from the street. The main entrance should pull the eye naturally, providing a welcoming tone for the entire landscape. A front entry focal point can be created by clustering floral pots on the front steps, planting flowering shrubs as an eye-catching feature, or combining bushes in a curved line that leads the eye toward the front door.

Any decent residential landscape should complement the home. The trees, bushes, lawn, and other vegetation around the house should give the sense that it is part of the natural environment.

3-3.5 inches is the recommended lawn cutting height. Taller grass is better able to tolerate the impacts of heat and drought. Most importantly, taller grass provides ground-level shade, which inhibits weed development. As a result, fewer herbicides are required to control weeds.

Remove the weeds, clean up the mess, and make repairs. Salt, animals, and other external influences can wreak havoc on your grass, causing holes to appear once the snow has melted. Fill the holes with new soil mixed with compost or sand to encourage roots to catch on fresh ground and renew the lawn.

Yellow or yellow-green grass, as well as poor growth and low grass density, are some of the most evident indications of a nitrogen deficit. In this case, a nitrogen-rich fertilizer is required, and grass cycling or the application of chicken manure are frequent solutions.

Snow protects your lawn from being exposed to the cold winter winds. Fortunately, the snow acts as a windbreak, allowing the grass to continue to store moisture and other essential nutrients.

Landscaping is done at different times of the year depending on the season. In general, the best time to start landscaping projects and prepare and plant flower beds is in the spring. During the summer work season, the majority of big landscaping projects are performed. Fall is also an ideal time to grow trees and plants because the temperatures are milder.

Spring through fall is the ideal time to fertilize your lawn. Fertilizing your lawn in March is vital because it will jump-start grass and root growth after a long, cold winter in Northern NJ, when essential nutrients are depleted. Always use a slow-release, mild, or organic fertilizer that won't cause your lawn to burn. Because vital nutrients are absorbed by the roots, early fall fertilizer will help protect your grass during the winter. We can recommend fertilizing regimens based on your grass kind and existing soil conditions.

The key to making the entire landscape appear pleasant is to create a focal point at the home's front entry. When looking at the landscape from the street, the focus point is where the eye is drawn. The main door should naturally draw the eye, setting a welcome tone for the entire landscape. Clustering floral pots at the front steps, planting flowering shrubs as an eye-catching feature, or grouping shrubs in a curving line that draws the eye toward the front door can all be used to create a front entry focal point.

Any good residential landscape should blend in with the residence. The trees, bushes, lawn, and any other vegetation should give the impression that the house is part of the natural environment. The lawn serves as a blank canvas for the rest of the landscape to be displayed.

Every lawn has a distinct personality. You could be dealing with different soil types, shade versus full sun, or grass varieties. Shade versus full sun, as well as soil type, are usually the most important factors in dry conditions and lawn health. Different grass types, as well as insects and disease, can appear during dry weather, as some grass types have a natural resistance to lawn pests.

Weeds compete for space, water, nutrients, and light with grass. They can be very aggressive and quickly take over a lawn if not kept in check. More than anything, proper mowing, watering, and fertilization help control weeds; a thick lawn has a better chance of choking out weeds. Because there are no preventative broadleaf weed products on the market, we must monitor them as they emerge throughout the season (spring and fall).

-Inkberry (zones 5-9) -Button bush (zones 6-9) -Summersweet (zones 4-9) -Black chokeberry (zones 3-8) -American cranberrybush (zones 2-7) -Spice bush (zones 4-9) -Red twig dogwood (zones 3-8) -Blue elderberry (zones 3-10)

Generally, you can stick to the same schedule of once every week or two when the plant has established, going in more during dry periods and reeling it in during the rainy seasons.

This is quack grass or another form of perennial field grass. These undesired grasses, unlike crabgrass, which is an annual grass, can only be killed using a “Round-up” type treatment (which kills all grass and plants). If you want to kill this grass, put Round-Up on the targeted grass and an additional foot beyond it, wait 5-10 days for it to die, then tear it up, add dirt, and re-seed with a decent grass seed mix.

You can see Dollar Spot; Fusarium Patch; Rust; Plythium Blight; Fairy Ring; all thses are caused by lawn diseases. Sometime you can see mushrooms growing in your lawn. All of these lawn diseases, except mushrooms, can cause serious lawn damage. If you notice bare spots; brown or yellow spots; dead patches of grass; white, cob-web like spots; bright green patches; or reddish-brown grass blades, you can contact us we provide you professional lawn care.

The best times to fertilize your yard is in the Spring through Fall. March is an important time to fertilize your lawn because it will jump-start grass and root growth after a cold Northern NJ winter when essential nutrients get depleted. Always choose a slow-release, light or organic type fertilizer that won’t burn your yard. Early Fall fertilization will help protect your lawn during the winter as essential nutrients will be absorbed by the roots. Based on your grass type and existing soil conditions, we can provide proper fertilization schedules.

Lawns infested with diseases or under attack by pests will show visible signs to alert you to the presence of such problems. Thinning grass, brown bathes, visible patches of dry or very wet soil, widespread weed growth, visible insects on the lawn, and patches of dead grass are some of the symptoms. If you notice any of these signs, it is likely that something is wrong with your yard.

You should mow your lawn at least once a week to keep it healthy and in good condition. Allowing your lawn to grow for an extended period of time without mowing may result in other problems later on. If you are a busy person, you should hire a professional lawn mowing service in Miami, FL, to mow your lawn and keep it healthy and looking great.
