Wonder if You Should Seed Landscaping in Fall or Springtime?

By Robert Jones


Have you thought about whether you'll want to be doing your landscape planting for your bushes, perennials, turf and other plants in the springtime or the fall? Most of the people don't even think about this. A lot of people wait around for early spring to return to get the landscaping started.

Planting the landscaping in the falltime is the ideal. This current drought that we have confronted this year has shown that to be true.

This year was rather harsh for landscaping in general. 2012 proved to be very hot and dry for Olathe landscape. We've seen landscaping clients who were highly committed to watering their landscape and undertaking the required steps to keep everything living end up losing a lot of the landscaping. The really dedicated landscaping enthusiasts ending up seeing a lot of their landscaping perish.

Something that we did watch is the fact that most of the landscaping that was failing had been landscaping that had been planted in spring. A fascinating thing is the fact that there had not been virtually any issues with people who planted during the fall time last year. There is a very simple reason this can be.

You'll need a strong root system for the landscaping and autumn planting does just that. If you would like your landscaping to thrive and look great, a deeply rooted root system is a must. The thing is, the deeper your root system goes into your ground, the more water there is. Landscaping with superficial root systems will likely have trouble staying alive during the burning summers.

Don't live in fear that if you do not setup our landscaping during the fall of This year the 2013 landscaping will die. An excellent season can do wonders for springtime rooted landscapes. The crazy high level of heat we all have encountered this year has shown the fact that landscaping during the fall generates very secure plants.

Just imagine how well your falltime planted landscape is going to do if we end up having a really good 2013. With that said, if you invest in the landscaping now before the winter season, you will find a lot less required maintenance and plant watering next summer and spring since the deep soil water will be doing most of the heavy lifting for you.

In conclusion, the regular misunderstanding that springtime landscape planting is the ideal approach to take just isn't accurate. Plus, you will only need to do half of heavy lifting keeping up with and sprinkling the yard that subsequent summer and spring.
