Olathe KS Landscape Business Talks Fall vs Spring Seeding

By James Auston


Did you know that growing your landscaping in the fall is the best time? The majority don't think about this. In truth, the most typical thing our company hear from our clients whenever it comes to planting is "we will hold off until spring to plant."

Planting the landscape during the fall is the ideal. The scorching temperatures of This year showed the importance of fall landscape planting more than every other year we have experienced in a very long time.

2012 proved to be incredibly hot and dry for Olathe landscaping. There seemed to be a great deal of plant death for a lot of our landscaping clients. The heavily determined landscaping enthusiasts ended the season having a large amount of the landscape die.

One thing that we did watch is that all of the landscaping that was dying was landscaping that had been planted during the spring. Clients that had planted during the fall on the other hand had zero issues with keeping their landscaping surviving. There is a very simple reason this is.

Planting during the autumn enables all of your landscaping to build up a solid root system. Making sure you have a solid and penetrating root system is essential for your landscape to flourish. Landscape that has shallow roots will likely have difficulties staying alive during the high heat.

Now, the 2012 drought our landscaping experienced was a one off heat spell. Don't live in fear that if you do not plant in the fall of 2012 your 2013 landscaping will absolutely die. If we end up having a good year you'll likely be fine. Having said that, this does offer testimony to the power of fall landscape planting.

Consider how good your fall planted landscaping will perform if we end up having a really good year in 2013. With that said, if you make the commitment to take care of your landscaping now just before the winter months, you should have a lot less needed maintenance and watering next summer because the deep soil water will be carrying out a lot of the hard work for you.

In summary, the common misconception that spring landscape planting is the ideal way to go is simply not legitimate. If you want a healthier landscape at your property for the spring and summer pre-winter landscape planting is definitely the approach to take. Furthermore, you will only have to do half of heavy lifting keeping up with and watering your landscaping the subsequent summer.
