Sonoran Gardens' Custom Landscape Care

Sonoran Gardens’ Custom Landscape Care: Like nothing else you’ve ever experienced!

Since 1998 Sonoran Gardens has offered customized landscape design and installation services, creating hundreds of environments as individual as our clients. Too often we have heard from our designers and clients that as time passed the landscape become aged, overgrown and lacked the luster of the initial install. This doesn’t have to be! At Sonoran Gardens we heard your concerns and have expanded our Custom Landscape Care program. Previously only offered to our new installation customers, we now proudly offer this service to the general public.

Custom Landscape Care offers a unique, all-inclusive landscape management service. Our process begins with the creation of a customized checklist based upon the client’s specific landscape. Sonoran Gardens’ knowledgeable and experienced maintenance staff provides full service monthly upkeep which includes:

  • irrigation inspection, adjustment and minor repairs
  • lighting inspection and adjustment
  • bulb replacement
  • weeding
  • pruning
  • fertilization
  • clean-up
  • insecticide
  • seasonal adjustments
  • any other specific needs detailed
    on the client’s personalized checklist

Further, Custom Landscape Care is staffed with an APLD certified designer to oversee and implement our client’s needs. They also perform annual evaluations of each property for areas that may need improvement. After every Custom Landscape Care visit the client receives a copy of the checklist detailing what work was performed, keeping them constantly involved in the process. This is so much more than a typical “blow-and-go” service.  You won’t find anything in Tucson like our Custom Landscape Care!

At Sonoran Gardens, we know in order to create the landscape you have always wanted it is
important to begin with a well thought out plan This is why the starting point for creating our great landscapes always begins by coordinating with one of our multiple award-winning
designers. You and the designer will collaborate to determine your goals, interests, and the best direction for your landscape and outdoor living area. The designer will then create a plan based upon the
collaborative discussions.  The design layout will provide you with various choices and alternatives along with the associated construction costs. Your design plan will continually evolve until it adequately suits your taste and budget; after such time construction on the plan will begin.

During the construction phase, your designer will be involved in laying out your design on-site before work begins, initial and ongoing review of plant placement, periodic monitoring of construction, and helping create a punch list for the final walk through. It is Sonoran Gardens’ designer’s greatest privilege to hear some of the most wonderful praise from our clients at the final walk-through!

As designers we recognize that a landscape is living and the work on your new beautiful yard
does not end as soon as the final walk-through is completed. With proper ongoing care, the splendor of your outdoor living area will flourish for years and the value of your investment will continually grow. Sonoran Gardens Custom Landscape Care can provide the management and attention your
landscape needs to nurture the vision created by you and your designer.

A tip from Sonoran Gardens…get your lawn ready for Winter!

Posted by on October 7, 2011 No comments

This week’s weather has reminded us all that winter is
approaching. What should you do about your lawn throughout the cooler winter
months? To have a winter lawn, Bermuda grass must be overseeded with perennial
ryegrass.

Begin this process by cutting the lawn as low as possible
and removing all the clippings. Then remove the thatch using a steel rake or
power dethatcher.  This will expose some
bare soil and prepare the lawn for seeding.

Before applying the seed rake up the thatch. Use perennial
ryegrass seed and apply it at the rate of 10 lbs/1000 sq. ft.  Cover the newly seeded lawn with a thin layer
of sand or compost and water lightly to settle it in.  Finally apply a starter fertilizer; ammonium
nitrate applied at 5 lbs/1000 sq ft works well.
Keep the newly seeded lawn moist until the seed germinates and has grown
tall enough to cut the first time.  Then
gradually reduce watering as the grass becomes established.  Fertilize monthly to maintain good color.

Overseeding is best done early/mid-October so if you are
looking for green lawn all winter – act fast!

Looking for a custom landscape maintenance team like nothing you’ve experienced.  Call Sonoran Gardens today at 520-579-9411

 

 

Sonoran Gardens’ Fall Gardener’s Guide

FALL GARDNER’S GUIDE FROM SONORAN GARDENS LANDSCAPING, DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

It may be difficult to believe as our tempertures still flirt with
100 degrees, but Happy First Day of Fall! After a long summer this is the time
of year to get outside, enjoy the weather and give your garden the attention it
is seeking. The warm soil temperatures and cool air temperatures of early fall
combine to produce a second spring in the desert southwest. This advent of cooler
weather signals the beginning of the fall planting season and the beginning of
preparations for the approaching winter season.

This is an ideal time to add new plants to the garden. Choosing the right plant for the location in which it is to be planted, taking the time to plant it properly and watering it regularly after planting will greatly
improve it’s chances of establishment and long term survival.

Add color to the garden by planting cool season annual flowers. Petunias, pansies, snapdragons, lobelia
and sweet alyssum are all good selections. They can provide color thru out the entire fall and winter season when planted at this time of year. Before planting add lots of organic matter to the planting beds and apply starter fertilizer at the time of planting.

Reduce watering to all plants as the weather cools and the days shorten. The cooler weather and
reduced sunlight decreases the plants need for water. Reduce the frequency of watering not the length of time. If you were watering 3 times a week for 1 hour, reduce this to 2 times a week for 1 hour in the fall and to 1 time per week for 1 hour in the winter.

When frosts are predicated cover tender plants with sheets, frost blankets or newspaper. Lights can
be placed under the coverings as a heat source to increase the protection.  The growing tips of cold sensitive cactus can be protected by covering the tips with Styrofoam cups or blankets. Remember to remove coverings when the temperatures increase the next day so that the plants can receive the
sunlight they need to grow.

Happy Gardening!
