Expert Built Retaining Walls

September 21, 2011 by

A retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the pressure of soil when there a change in ground elevation. It is used effectively to break up a hill that might not get the “waving” look with its grass as you desired. It’s also an opportunity to plant something other than grass.

Retaining walls can be made from concrete, wood or stone, but obviously the more aesthetic choice would be the stone. Stones could range from large fieldstone to brick to smaller stones. A good foundation and solid planning can make a stone retaining wall last for a hundred years or longer. That’s where it takes the engineering, proper analysis and artistic mind of a landscape company to get the job done right.

Fencing: Beyond A Few Holes In The Ground.

September 21, 2011 by

Installing a quality, strong fence line on your property may be expensive, but it will last a lifetime if done right. That’s why you should investigate landscape companies in your area who will not only know the right way to install a fence, but they will know how to do so keeping every other aspect of your yard in mind.

Installing a fence goes beyond a hole in the ground. Stability is crucial, especially for a fence that is made of heavier wood, or that will be taller in height. Measurements will be taken over and over—especially over hills and uneven ground—to ensure your fence is linear and flows well. Need a gate? That’s another part of the job your hired staff can handle!

Whatever your fencing project entails, you need to choose a company that has the knowledge and expertise to get the job done right. For more information about installing a fence, contact Central Services Company for a quote.

What is Finish Grading?

September 21, 2011 by

Finish grading is the “final draft” of a lawn to make it perfect and presentable; it provides the final shaping and prepares the seedbed or sod base for completion. This stage of the process comes after the rough grade and after proper drainage is established. This is a process that is probably left to the professionals and the tools they have, which can remove extra rock and debris from the seedbed while pulverizing the soil. This will give you that smooth, finished look that you want your lawn to have.

What is Lawn Aeration?

September 21, 2011 by

What is lawn aeration? Aerating your lawn is literally putting holes in your lawn. This simple act will deliver more oxygen to the roots and allow the soil to “breathe”; it allows more organic fertilizers and nutrients to get access to the root system; water is also able to reach the root system better and faster; it helps breath up thatch; it loosens up tight, compacted soil to allow for better, healthier growth. Aeration can be done by hand or via a power aerator.

The big argument is when to aerate your lawn. If you have a relatively healthy lawn that gets plenty of moisture, once a year is fine, usually in the spring or late summer/fall. If your lawn requires more attention than that, a second time that year would not be a wasted effort.

Mowing the Lawn

September 21, 2011 by

The constant activity you will need to do on a weekly basis (most of the year), and whether you’re a green thumb or not, there is a method to the madness of mowing your lawn.

Mowing your lawn is like trimming your hair. It’s taking away the mangled, dirty ends so that the rest of your hair can grow back longer and healthier. Every type of grass is different when considering the height of the blade on your mower, but if you follow the one-third rule—that is, don’t cut any more than one-third the total length of grass—you’ll be fine. And for frequency? Most homeowners are out there cutting grass once a week, depending on rainfall in the previous days. The more precipitation you get, the more your grass will grow, and the sooner you’ll have to mow it!

One last thing to mention is the trees you’ll mow around. Many people treat tree trunks like bumper poles in a game of bumper cars, when that is detrimental to the tree! A lawn mower repeatedly hitting the tree can cause irreparable damage in the form of damaged or rotting underlying skin tissue, an essential part of the tree’s growth. Keep a three-foot radius of grassless soil around the tree, and maybe even install some decorative bricks to add a bit of flair to your lawn while protecting your trees at the same time!
