We sometimes get the question of whether or not a tree or plant can be transplanted. We recorded an example of a smaller ficus tree that someone wanted to move it further away from the wall since they were concerned about how it would grow too big and damage the wall.
On the 23rd of October in 2003 we hit a record of the latest day in October to hit over 100 degrees and there were a few consecutive days at this temperature that really posed a problem for overseeding.
Every October here is Phoenix the grass that grows here in the Spring and Summer months does not grow from November through February. Overseeding is a process we do here in the desert to keep our lawns green during those few short winter months.
Over the years here in Phoenix many of our clients have pots or planters around their patios or front doors and in some instances there is heavy water damage from the drainage system around those containers whenever watering occurs for the plant material inside.
In this video we speak to Ryan Kibner with Custom Weed & Pest Control about keeping our bermuda grass healthy.
This video is about how to address a dirty or smelly artificial turf area in your yard. If you have pets your fake grass can get heavy traffic and sometimes lots of pet waste.
Katie Ruellia shrubs are great plants for smaller areas that need to remain green throughout the year, but not take up too much space. These shrubs have a dense long dark green leaf with purple or pink flowers.
Boxwood Beauty also known as the Natal Plum shrubs are great for small areas or bordering your landscape. This is a short shrub with small round clustered dark green leaves that gets to be about 1-3 feet tall and can get up to 3-6 foot wide.
July is water conservation month. Be sure to water your lawn areas in the morning to prevent as much evaporation. This will optimize the amount of water that gets to the roots of the turf areas.
Willow trees (botanical name is Acacia salicina) are a great desert tree for our Arizona desert climate if you want a large fast growing tree.
