The Best Ways to Optimize Your Landscape Design for Seasonal Change

When you put time, effort, and money into creating your very own residential or commercial landscaping design in the Angier, Apex, Cary, Clayton, Fuquay Varina, Garner, Holly Springs, Knightdale, Pittsboro, & Raleigh, NC areas, you'll want to know the best times to care for your plants, what maintenance is required for the changing temperatures and weather, as well as any additional decorations or materials that hold up well in the climate. Creating your own exterior oasis is quite simple when you consult a professional landscaping contractor, and at Brick and Stone of NC Inc., we are always passionate about helping new clients, existing clients, and all others who want to enhance their property. Some of the best tips regarding seasonal change and how it can affect your landscaping design are as followed:

• Planting in the Autumn Months: Trees and shrubs that you plan on including in your landscape design thrive the best when they are first planted as the temperatures begin to cool down after summer. Not only do these cooler temperatures benefit new plants, but the chance of rain increases in the state of North Carolina during the fall, giving your plants the nutrients they need to grow.
  
  
• Protecting Plants in the Winter Months: If there is a colder night approaching, it is smart to soak the roots of your plants to ensure they are well hydrated before the chance of any ground freezing or frost. There are also great products that you can use to cover any young plants or more delicate types of greenery that can be easily affected by a dramatic decrease in temperature.
  
  
• Cutting Back & Regular Trimming Maintenance: Similarly to how we maintain certain aspects of our health, plants require the same attention from time to time. Doing research or consulting with a landscape contractor on the maintenance required for the types of greenery you have in your landscape design is the best way to make sure that your property thrives throughout the year. Many florals, shrubs, and trees can benefit from regular trimming and removing of any unhealthy branches, limbs, and leaves throughout each season.
