The Magic of a Great Looking Lawn with Sod Grass

We all want to live in home with a beautiful, green lawn. Sometimes, naturally planted seed grass takes a lot of time to blossom and get the right color and texture. However, now you can get a natural looking lawn with sod grass!

Sod grass is basically grass that has been previously planted and comes ready to build in your own yard. It is sold in sections and comes with its own soil held together by roots, giving you natural grass almost instantly! This technique is also recommended because it is more abundant, fertile and grows more evenly.

If you are struggling between seed or sod, you may want to consider the time and cost it takes to perfect each technique. Sod takes much less time to install than seed, get results more quickly and you can install it any time of the year.

With Gonzalez Landscaping and Tree services you will have the best lawn in town with very competitive prices. We offer the best service; have experienced contractors and extremely high quality grass. Call us today for your estimate!

All You Need to Know about Sod Grass

If you are shifting to a new house or planning to give a new look to your current one, the installation of a brand new Sod is definitely something you should consider in order to give it a greener look.

If you love greenery and weed free lawns that are low maintenance, lawns which you are able to grow in a few days and that look as great as the fields of Switzerland then the installation of Sod is definitely something worth taking into consideration.

 

♦ You must decide the exact size of the lawn and the amount of sod you will need.

♦ You must check both the type and the quality of soil that exists in your lawn

♦ Before getting a sod installation, you must remove any weeds that grow in the soil.

♦ Ensure that there is proper draining for water.

♦ Check if the lawn will get proper sunlight

♦ Make sure that you clear the whole area and grade your soil before sod installation.

After taking into consideration all these factors, you must contact a competent Sod fabricant and let him know that you, in fact, have all these conditions ready beforehand. This will help him prepare a Sod that is best suited to the conditions and that will grow without any hindrance. Moreover, buying directly from the gardeners/makers is very beneficial, as you’ll remove any middlemen and pay a lower rate for every Sod grass installation that you’ve planned. 

 

For example, Sods like Kentucky bluegrass, annual/perennial fescues and ryegrass are mostly suited for winter climate and will not show any signs of fertility in either warm or dry climates.

All other varieties, such as Bermuda, Carpet, St. Augustine, Centipede, etc; are made for warmer climates. If you live near the beach, then you can buy the very exquisite Bahia variety, which is happens to be exclusively suited to this type of climate

Here at Gonzalez Landscaping & Tree Services we not only possess the “Know how” in all related matters to landscaping, but we are also fully capable of addressing your needs in regards to Sod installments and maintenance.

Organize Your Ideas with a Planting Plan

A planting plan doesn’t have to be complicated; it can help you to organize your ideas and make decisions on how many plants you are going to need.

Figuring out the cost of your plants

If you are able to buy large trees and shrubs you will be able to have an instant garden; if you can’t afford them then you will need patience to grow young plants. For instance, Perennials can bloom and reach their maximum height in the first couple of years, so don’t spend money on big plants. Besides, it will be very interesting to see them grow as time goes by.

Gonzalez Landscaping and Tree Service in Agoura Hills, CA can help you choose the best plants at a great price. We are very experienced so we can offer our services along with great materials at a lower cost than most landscapers.

Organizing your Plants

Many people get excited and try to cram too much into a small space, but overcrowded plants tend to be unhealthy, so always think about what their final spreads will be when drawing up your plan. The best way to make your plants look fuller is to put them all in a group together.

• If you group plants in the shape of a sausage (which works well for cottage and prairie styles), or in triangle shapes they will look better and you will be able to create harmony among disparate groups.
  
• When you place the occasional plant away from its group it will look like it grew naturally.
  
• In order to create contrast with natural plantings elsewhere do a formal planting design near the house.
  
• Gonzalez Landscaping and Tree Service in Thousand Oaks, CA usually plants trees at a good distance from your property to prevent the ground from sinking, and to give them enough space to mature.

Visualize your ideas

At Gonzalez Landscaping and Tree Service in Agoura Hills, CA we believe you should try to visualize a planting plan. If you are doing a small garden you can sketch the view from an upstairs’ window. Feel free to let your imagination run wild and don’t worry too much about being accurate at this stage.

• Next, look at all the views from the house at ground level and think if you want your plants to frame, enhance, or block them.
  
• Be sure to scope out the field, decide where the plants are going to be. You can place these on your drawing as simple shapes.

You should also take photographs as well, that way you can refer to them when you draw your plan. If you already have a pretty good idea of what you want, you can sketch your ideas directly onto the photographs; if not; work on a sheet of tracing paper laid on top. These rough sketches will help to prepare a more organized planting plan.

The Last Draft Of Your Planting Plan

If you are preparing a plan for your own use you will not need fancy graphics, if you need help Gonzalez Landscaping and Tree Service in Agoura Hills can give you ideas that will produce a beautiful landscape that you can be proud of.

• On the last draft of your plan, map out the sections that you would like to plant, and then add the plants you want.
  
• To help you decide where trees, plants or shrubs will be, sketch circles to scale.
  
• So you are able to see how dense your planting will be, mark out a square meter on the ground and calculate plant spacing for different species using their final spreads. Make a note of them for future reference.
  
• You can design your plan on graph paper. When choosing the scale, take into account how big the beds or borders are going to be. A scale of 1:50 or 1:20 is appropriate for an intricate plan.
  
• Also, make sure you trace your drawing to develop a nice, complete design. Make two versions: a drawing to keep for yourself and the other version that you can use when you are going to plant. It would be nice if you laminate your last draft to protect it from the weather.
