Good Landscape Design and Build Elements | Southbury, CTThe landscape design process involves a few important fundamentals that when practiced in a methodical and organized fashion, can ensure a beautiful and fully functional landscape for your residential or commercial property. The greatest distinction between a landscape design that looks do-it-yourself and one that has a more natural professionally completed design, comes down to adhering to a few basic landscape design principles that we will discuss in this article. Many residents of Connecticut are of the understanding that exceptional landscape design and build involves simply strategically distributing hardscapes, shrubs and trees all over their property. However, there is much more involved in designing and installing a beautiful and functional landscape on your property. Here are a few basic landscape design concepts that Elite Property and Fence of Southbury, Connecticut follows when we perform our landscape installation services.

Simplicity

Using simplicity is the basis of every great landscape design. One of the greatest challenges when designing a layout of your property is finding a way to integrate the different types and sizes of plants and trees, as well as other design factors into a straightforward and consolidated layout. When choosing the types of plants, shrubs, and trees that will best suit your landscape, Elite Property and Fence will take into account how specific weather conditions, types of dirt, insect and pest issues, and a myriad of other elements and situations. We recommend utilizing just a few different colors throughout your garden or landscape to keep the your overall decor theme consistent.

Lines

Line is related to the structural principles of landscape design. It can mostly be pertinent to the way beds, walkways, and entryways move and progress throughout your property. Lines can be constructed vertically by the differences in the height of plants, trees, and shrubs. Line can be constructed in walkways and entrances by the arrangements of plants and shrubs, which can create straight, curved or free-flowing lines.

Natural transition

Natural transition is used to avert profound and drastic changes to your landscape design. Utilizing transition in your design will help you achieve a slow progressive change for your landscape elements. The progressive change can best be depicted by the height and colors of your trees and shrubs. It can also be implemented to other attributes of your landscape design such as the texture of a leaf, roughness or smoothness of the bark, heaviness or lightness of the foliage or other elements utilized in the landscape plan.

The importance of Winter mulch application:

Applying mulch to your property during the winter season has very contrasting functions compared to adding mulch in the spring or summer seasons. During the summer months, mulch is utilized to keep weeds from developing on your property and it also works to retain the moisture within your soil. During the colder months of winter and early spring, mulch application is performed for different reasons. Mulch application during the colder months of the year will assist in offering a safeguard to your trees and shrubs from the harsh elements of winter. Mulch also assists in allowing your plants to retain the much needed nutrients through the winter months, which will allow them to flourish in the spring and summer time. Applying mulch during the winter months is a necessary practice if you would like to have a healthy and prosperous landscape.

We have listed below some of the most beneficial benefits to applying mulch to your property in the winter months.

  • Offers protections from the cold temperatures and freezing winter winds.
  • Retains the moisture in your soil, which helps to safeguard your trees and shrubs from being susceptible to dry conditions.
  • Maintains soil nutrients from being withered away by rain storms, and also can dispel nutrients into the soil if you are utilizing an organic type of mulch.
  • Prevents soil compaction and controls erosion.
  • Reduces weed germination and insects, which can create disease for your plants

Applying mulch to the trees, shrubs, and plants of your landscape can serve a functional and aesthetic purpose. Mulch typically is an organic material made up of numerous types of decomposing components including bark or wood whips, pine needles, small rocks, pine needles, and many more materials. It is dispersed on the surface of your property to safeguard the roots from the hot summer elements and the cold winter season and provide the much needed nutrients during drought periods.
