How to take care of your newly landscaped yard

Upon installation of your new landscaping a good fertilizer (we like to use 14-14-14 wax coated slow release fertilizer) should be applied to all the plants.

For the first 30 days we recommend watering your new landscaping once a day for 30 minutes to get the plants established.

Once established (after 30 days), water your landscaping 2 times a week for the next month. After that, water once a week from then on out.

FYI- water restrictions do not apply on newly landscaped yards. You must show proof of new landscaping with your receipt and the citation will be lifted.

How to get bougainvilleas to bloom time and time again.

bougainvillea-220pxTo encourage the long and vibrant color of your bougainvillea, the trick of the trade is “the more frequently you trim them, the more they bloom!”

Bougainvillea’s new blooms are generated from the new growth. Trimming promotes new growth which encourages new blooms. Simple as that!

Just give it regular trimmings and shaping and you’ll have colorful blooms over and over again. A good dose of fertilizer also encourages blooms. Also, keep in mind, once your bougainvillea is established it does not require or like a lot of watering. It is considered a drought tolerant plant, so take care not to over water. We suggest only watering them 2-3 times a week vs every day when freshly planted.  After it is acclimated (about 2 months,) then watering once a week is plenty.
