Most landscaping services include a designated person totally dedicated to landscape designs including layout, shrubs, vegetation and water features. Front yard landscaping has come a long way from the era of the green lawn and white picket fence. The front of the home is now a welcoming mat for the property where landscaping companies are creating all styles from a park-like appearance, complete with shrub greenery, to a rock formation with a waterfall. In areas where water is scarce or too expensive to be used for watering lawns a low-maintenance rock garden with desert shrubs and native grasses can highlight the home. Underground root watering systems make sure that not a drop of water is wasted. New trends in back yard landscaping have seen a growth in the popularity of water falls and spas. As well, awn and other old landscaping techniques have give ground to a favorite of fifty years ago: vegetable gardens. In the style of the old European terraces vegetables are being grown both in the ground and in large pots on the patio. The vegetables are chosen both for their harvest value and also to add color to the backyard mosaic. For large backyards home landscaping still includes a pool. The wide variety of pool designs in landscaping have homeowners swimming in Olympic-style square pools, multi-shaped pleasure styles and pools that resemble a jungle water hole including waterfalls and water slides. To complete the landscaping project is the addition of multi-scene lighting. From a central controller the entire property can be tinted with colors that slowly change and alter the mood of the yard just like the ones on live theater stages. These can installed everywhere from the tops of trees to the bottom of the pool. With water shortages in the summer becoming increasing every summer homeowners are looking to every possible opportunity to save the precious commodity including catching dew and rainwater. Many are having second thoughts about their lush lawns and even taking them out in favor of shrubs and rock gardens which require little watering. Another option is the watering system. Many gallons of water are wasted by the spray action of sprinklers. Water is basically atomized and a good share of it vaporizes leaving very little to get to the plants. If you calculate this over the course of a year it adds up to a huge wastage of money and water. Root watering systems allow water to go directly from the tap to the roots without seeing air. Many of the pipes hook directly up to an automatic lawn watering system except that the flow is barely a trickle. In the case of shrubs and trees special basket weave cannisters are inserted into the ground within the root system and extend down as far as 36". This encourages the roots to stay deep and not creep up to the surface looking for water. In larger, commercial fields subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) uses either permanently or temporarily-buried dripperline around the plant roots. Fertilizer is added directly to this feed line so that the nutrients go right to the plant and aren't leeched out into the acquifer. For domestic purposes drip irrigation is also becoming popular bringing huge savings to homeowners and the environment. | | | | | | | | | Free contractor referral service.
