Why Should You Opt for a Desert Landscape in Your Home?

/in /by

When people think of landscaping, they immediately think of flowering shrubs, verdant bushes, large trees, and well-manicured lawns. This isn’t really surprising since landscaped gardens are traditionally lush, green, and brimming with life. But, if you feel the same way, take note that these aren’t the only options available. If you want your yard to be professionally landscaped, you might want to look into desert landscaping.

Desert landscaping (which is also called xeriscaping or dry landscaping) refers to the use of drought-resistant plants to make a garden attractive. Combining “desert” and “landscaping” might seem like an oxymoron but, if you take a closer look at Palm Springs, California, you’ll see that it actually works! Palm Springs’ gorgeous and eye-catching desert environment — which features hardy plants like palm trees and cacti — is one of the reasons why tourists flock to it every year, and you can apply the same principle to your garden.

Some of the plants that you can include in your desert landscape include hardy shrubs like flannelbrush, purple sage, and California tree mallow as well as drought-resistant flowering shrubs like blue hibiscus, Indian hawthorne, and Cape honeysuckle. These plants don’t require a lot of water, which means they’re eco-friendly and can help you conserve limited resources. They also ensure that your garden stays attractive even during dry spells.

If you’re ready to incorporate xeriscaping into your garden, contact us here at eLandscaping. We offer desert landscaping in Palm Springs and can turn your yard into a desert wonderland.

How Can eLandscaping Help You Deal with Unruly or Unwanted Trees?

/in /by

Perhaps you have trees that are located too close to your house and are blocking the sunlight from your windows, dropping dead leaves in your gutters (and consequently blocking their flow), or even destroying your house’s foundation with their roots. Or maybe they grow in an unruly way and look like they’re trying to take over your garden.

Either way, these trees can cause several problems, reducing your house’s curb appeal and even affecting the way you live. Fortunately, there are ways to deal with them, which are discussed below.

 

Unruly Trees

Few trees grow in an even and well-arranged way since most of them will sprout branches and leaves here and there. This isn’t a problem if they’re located far away from your house and if you like the “natural” look. But, if the trees are near your house and are blocking your windows, or if you want them to look neat and tidy, you’ll need to get the help of tree trimmers like us here at eLandscaping.

We offer professional tree trimming services and can help you get unruly trees under control. We do this through our team of experienced, skillful, and fully trained tree trimmers who use the latest techniques and equipment. As a result, we can trim your trees and make them look great within the shortest possible time.

Unwanted Trees

Trees become unwanted for many reasons. You may have recently bought your house and don’t like the placement of the trees that the previous owner has planted. Or maybe you loved the trees that you planted years ago but have realized that they’ve gotten too big for your garden. Or perhaps you still even love your trees, but they’re now rotting and dying because of disease and should be taken away from your garden.

If this is the case, you’ll need professional tree removal services like those that we offer here at eLandscaping. Just give us a call and we’ll arrive at your home to remove the tree/s that you no longer want around. We can do a simple removal wherein we just remove the trees and call it a day, but we can also remove your unwanted trees then plant new ones in the appropriate locations. If you want, you can even take advantage of our complete landscaping services and give your garden a full makeover while you’re at it!

The best thing about hiring eLandscaping is that we’re fully trained in tree removal. Unlike rogue contractors, we have the skills, training, and experience to remove trees without damaging our clients’ properties and putting them and their families at risk. We use state-of-the-art equipment and keep up to date with the latest tree trimming methods, both of which help us finish our tasks in a quick and easy way.

 

Having unruly and unwanted trees can be a pain. Fortunately, you can easily fix this problem by getting our help here at eLandscaping. With our tree trimming/tree removal service in Palm Springs, we can assist you in creating a neat and attractive garden that enhances your property’s curb appeal and even increases its value.

Why Should You Have Your Garden Landscaped?

/in /by

Many homeowners look at landscaping not as a priority but as a project that they’ll tackle once they have extra time and money. But, if you feel the same way, take note that landscaping isn’t something that you should put off until you eventually forget about it. In fact, it’s a task that should be on or near the top of your list! This comes from the fact that having a professionally landscaped garden will help you:

 

Improve your home’s curb appeal

This is one of the most obvious benefits that you’ll enjoy. By having your garden landscaped, your property will immediately look great from the street. This can be beneficial on several levels: you, for one thing, will feel a sense of pride and satisfaction when you get home from work and see your beautiful place. Your neighbors, on the other hand, will appreciate your gorgeous garden and may compliment you on it.

Having an enhanced curb appeal is important if you’re planning to sell your home in the future. Property buyers usually judge a home by how it looks from the outside; if they see that your property looks great from the street, they’ll be impressed and will want to see what the inside of your home looks like.

Create a relaxing outdoor space

A landscaped garden won’t only make your place more attractive but will also create a calming and relaxing ambiance. This can be a huge plus particularly if you love spending time in your garden during your free time. With a yard that’s conducive to relaxation, you can easily sit back, chill out, and let your stress float away.

Protect your house from damage

Landscaping isn’t just about beautifying a garden; it’s also about manipulating the environment to minimize the damage that it would otherwise incur on your property. Rainwater, for example, can wreak havoc on your house’s foundation if left alone. But, if you hire professional landscapers, they will design your garden in such a way that water will flow away from your house instead of flowing towards it. This, in turn, can prevent water from pooling in your basement, soaking your walls, and making your house weaker as time goes by.

Minimize the amount of energy you use

Many landscapers nowadays realize the importance of energy conservation and keep this in mind when creating landscape designs. For example, they can plant trees in such a way that they’ll provide shade during summer and keep your house cool, so you’ll use less energy on cooling your home. This, in turn, means you can help conserve the earth’s natural resources while enjoying lower utility bills.

Increase your property’s safety levels

Professionally landscaped gardens promote safety. Retaining walls keep soil from eroding and prevent rocks from rolling down and causing accidents. Footpaths, meanwhile, provide a solid and sturdy place for you to walk around and prevent slips and falls that can occur when you walk on muddy areas. Of course, properly spaced lighting provide adequate illumination at night and ensure you and your family will easily find your way around your yard.

 

Landscaping your garden can bring several benefits. If you’re ready to enjoy these perks, just get in touch with us here at eLandscaping and take advantage of our Palm Springs landscaping services.

Leave Your Yard Maintenance Up to eLandscaping

/in /by

A landscaped garden will not only boost your home’s dollar value and aesthetic appeal, but also provide you with a wonderful place that you can escape to. There’s something peaceful and heartwarming about a landscaped garden, complete with well-arranged ornaments and seating.

But garden maintenance can be hard work and time-consuming, regardless of its size. You will need to water plants, mow grass, prune branches, trim shrubs and a host of other maintenance work. While you can do some of the small and easy stuff, there are some things better left to the professionals.

Tree trimming, for example, calls for professional tree removal services, because you need to make sure the branches fall at the right place, which should be clear of other plants, pets and people. Safety is a major concern with tree trimming. This is why you must leave it to professionals. Of course, if you’re too busy to maintain your yard, leave all the work to eLandscaping, including tree removal work.

eLandscaping Services:

Garden sprinkler setup

Installing sprinklers is the easiest way to water plants. But you need a well-designed sprinkler system to ensure water conservation and that plants are watered according to their needs. Because too much water can have an adverse effect, different sprinkler heads should be used to mist, sprinkle or soak your garden. With expertise in sprinkler installation, eLandscaping can take care of this particular task for you.

Lawn aeration

For a healthy and beautiful lawn, vital elements and nutrients should reach the soil beneath the grass. This is where aeration comes into play. This involves perforating the soil so water and nutrients can penetrate through. This also alleviates soil compaction that prevents proper air circulation and starves the roots of water and nutrients. Apart from tree removal services, eLandscaping also offers lawn aeration.

General lawn maintenance

To maintain your garden, you need to do several things – blowing leaves, dirt and grass away, weeding out the sidewalks, walkways and patio, mowing grass, and trimming trees. All of which require time and effort. If you don’t have the time and energy to do all of these, leave all the work up to eLandscaping. The company will help ensure your garden will be the envy of the neighborhood. General maintenance can be scheduled weekly or on a per need basis.

Clean-ups

Is your yard looking worse for wear after a tenant left it unkempt and neglected for the entire duration of their stay? Cleaning up after them is never enjoyable. But you won’t need to worry about these things with the help of eLandscaping. They can beautify your property, clean-up the yard and restore everything to its former glory.

General beautification

Does your garden need more plants and flowers following tree removal services? eLandscaping can add more plants and flowers in place of a recently removed tree or when your garden simply needs new residents. General beautification is especially helpful if you’re preparing your home for sale. A beautiful landscaped garden can boost the value of your home, and when potential buyers drive by, the visual appeal of your home exterior will help convince them to buy your property.
