Fertilization

Fertilization

Once the soft landscaping is in place we will develop maintenance programmes for trees, shrubs and plants in residential and commercial landscapes, irrespective of their size. Our maintenance programme will encompass monitoring and controlling problems associated with insects and diseases and controlling and making timely applications of fertilizers. This is particularly important in urban and suburban areas where soil composition has been altered due to construction.

We endeavour to apply environment friendly practices that will minimize the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers. By using a combination of compost that has been made using natural ingredients and chemical varieties of fertilizer we make sure that when breaking down it will cause no environmental damage. Slow release organic fertilizers break down nutrients slowly allowing longer intervals between applications. A soil analysis will be conducted prior to commencement of soft landscaping to determine the suitability of plant material, to work out nutrient problems in the soil and to determine the timing, method and rate of fertilizer application.

During maintenance we will ensure that fertilizer is applied correctly depending on the type of plant to avoid wastage and excessive fertilizing that will do more harm than good. Our recommendations will include fertilizers to stimulate new growth and give gardens lush foliage and those that will encourage plants to flower. Our service also includes analysis of the cause of plant degradation.

As fertilizer alone won’t guarantee plant health, we will instruct owners in the practices that need to be followed to maintain healthy plants. Watering properly to suit plant species, conserve soil and the local environment by avoiding runoff, checking soil moisture, the use of mulch to conserves soil moisture and control weeds and maintain a uniform temperature are among the useful hints that will be imparted to clients to maintain plant health. Looking after trees and shrubs means investing in a lifetime of growth and getting to enjoy the outcome.
