Tree, Shrub, & Ground Cover Planting
Planting is the final stage of any landscape installation. Trees, shrubs, and perennials create a more three-dimensional aspect and add color, form, and texture. Distinctive plantings anchor your property, give it presence, and make it look like it belongs to the landscape.
Celtic Lawn & Landscape will choose the best selection of plants, purchased direct from the top growers. We use plants that are appropriate to your planting zone. Plants are the most significant elements of the site design, as they define and reinforce the garden style and create a pleasant atmosphere of life, light, color and texture, throughout the landscape.
Proper installation, along with necessary watering and a root stimulator will insure that your new landscape will survive and flourish the first year. After the first year a good fertilization program, once a year, with an organic based fertilizer will help the plants grow to their maximum height and provide the plants with the nourishment to produce flowers/fruit in its greatest abundance. It is also important that your plant material does not become overcrowded a few years after installation.
Bed or planting area preparation is the most important key to successful planting of any landscape. We dig down 8-12 inches and look at what the shovel brings up. Sandy and heavy clay soils can be improved by spreading 2-3 inches of Compost and Topsoil mixed. The organic material makes clay soil drain better and makes it easier for plant roots to penetrate. It also makes sandy soil better able to hold moisture.
