LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, May 21, 2012


Factors Contributing to Landscape Decline: Diminished Water, Light + Space

Over time, landscape plants can overgrow their spaces, and can feel the competition pressure from surrounding plants for physical space, light, nutrients, water; all essential elements required for plant health.
  • Hedges or shrubs once branched all the way to the ground may loose branches that were shaded out
  • Flowers that once enveloped a shrub may be limited to the upper and outer ends of the branches. 
  • Some landscape plants are more vigorous than others, and will out-compete for scarce resources such as light or moisture
  • Still others can lose the competition game because they were not originally selected for the location, or perhaps the conditions have changed (increasing shade is a given).

Your Crabapple LandscapExperts Team can sort this type of landscape decline out for you, and give the properties you manage new curb appeal.
