Fall Tips for Landscaping in Palm Springs

/in /by

The fall season is one of those times when the world is in such bright colors that even blown leaves are seen as a wonderful addition to your already leaf-covered lawn. But with all the work that comes with lawn maintenance and clearing, you may unintentionally forget that you need to do more to ensure your garden stays healthy next spring. This is where extensive landscaping in Palm Springs come into play.

 

Landscaping tips for the fall season

  • Don’t wait until the next season to start pulling weeds. The earlier you start, the less weeds you’ll have to deal with come spring.
  • Remove leaves before they pile up and cause damage to the turf. Dead grass, and other organic debris release soluble forms of nitrates and phosphate, which can end up in surface water. When this happens water quality may be compromised.
  • Give your garden the TLC it needs. Landscaping in Palm Springs during the fall is the perfect time to fertilize the grass, and plant seeds on bare and dead spots. Grass is best fertilized when the season is cooler, and seeds have more time to grow before the warmer season sets in.
  • Prevent winter lawn disease. All throughout the fall season, you must keep the grass’ height of 2 to 2 1/2 inches. If it grows any longer than this, it will mat and could result in snow mold and other winter lawn diseases. If you cut it too short, however, it will be unable to store food for growth during the spring, making it easier for weeds to overpower them.
  • Water trees and shrubs thoroughly and deeply to keep them hydrated. Make sure you do this just before turning the outside water off and after the trees’ leaves drop.

If you have perennials in your garden, it is also highly recommended that you cut them back close to the ground. And just before the winter starts to freeze pipes, make sure you shut off your lawn’s automatic irrigation system. The last thing you want is for pipes to burst due to frozen water within.

Hire a Landscaping Service you can Trust!

These are just some of the few things you need to do to prepare your landscaped lawn or garden for the fall and right through to winter and spring. Think you have the time and energy to do all these?

You should delegate. Hire eLandscaping to carry out garden and lawn maintenance on your behalf. They have the tools and the skills needed to ensure your garden will stay in good condition all year round.

Best Tree Trimming Service in Palm Springs

/in /by

Having a landscaped lawn or garden comes with responsibilities. It’s not going to take care of itself. If you want to maintain its beauty and aesthetics, you need regular maintenance and care. One thing that should be done on a regular basis is tree trimming.

Many may only remember trimming trees when the wind blows hard, or when there’s a storm brewing. The reality, however, is that it should be done on a regular basis. Doing so will keep the trees healthy, maintain the overall look of your garden, and ensure the safety of your property and your family. Imagine the damage a large branch can do to your home if it’s neglected.

Tree trimming, however, should be carried out by professionals, a team of arborists who know what they are doing. You can rely on eLandscaping to provide you with a reliable and high quality service.

Why eLandscaping offers the best tree trimming in Palm Springs

Tree trimming expertise you can rely on

How hard is it to trim a tree? This may seem easy work at first glance, but it is nothing like pruning or cutting shrubs and hedges. It requires skills and modern equipment to get things done quickly and easily. Most importantly, it requires years of experience to get things done properly. Only professionals know which way a tree should fall, and how to cut it accordingly. Not all trees are created equal, and should be treated differently each time. Without the proper knowledge and skills, trimming trees can be a disaster.

Flexible range of services

It doesn’t even matter if you have gravel or clay for soil, the company can do wonders with your property.

  • Tree maintenance

Trees on your property need some TLC. They may appear tall and strong, but they can get sick or experience damage following a storm or other disaster. It is important to rehabilitate them so they don’t end up dead or a liability. Aside from tree trimming in Palm Springs, eLandscaping also handles tree maintenance.

  • Garden maintenance

If you already have a landscape garden, the company also handles maintenance. That is, they take the hassle out of keeping your garden in tip-top shape. They provide trimming, mowing and edging solutions. Their services also extend to removing weeds, and clearing walkways, driveway and patio of dirt and dead leaves.

What You Should Know Before Getting Tree Trimming Services

/in /by

Many people take one look at a certain tree in their garden, decide they no longer want it, then research tree trimming services ASAP. But, if you’re one of these homeowners, don’t dial that number just yet! Before doing anything else, read this guide to know if you should get tree trimming or have that tree entirely removed and what you should expect when hiring tree removers.

 

The Who’s Who of Trees

We can’t decide for you if you should have a tree removed or not, but we want you to make informed decisions and avoid regret. Trees can’t be glued back on once they’re cut, so you have to be 100 percent sure that you don’t like them anymore (except for diseased/rotten trees, which should be removed ASAP).

Trees that work best in traditional gardens

Spartan eating apple, Himalayan birch, mountain ash, and weeping pear are great additions to gardens — yes, even tiny ones. If you have any one of these trees, consider incorporating it into a new landscape design instead of rashly ending its life.

Trees that are great for xeriscape gardens

If you’re planning to have a desert landscaped garden, you’ll need to invest in drought-proof trees such as white thorn acacia, anacacho orchid tree, Mexican bird of paradise, and palo brea. If these trees are in your garden, leave them be since they can be incorporated in your xeriscape yard later on.

Trees that need lots of water

Do you have any green ash, plane tree, swamp cottonwood, or sweetbay magnolia in your garden? If you do you’ll want to remove these trees since they’re wet soil trees and won’t survive without much water. For the right xeriscape garden you’ll want to avoid trees that require a ton of watering.

 

What to Expect from a Tree Removal Company

Once you decide to have a tree removed, you’ll need to hire a tree removal company. But don’t hire just any business; to ensure you’ll get your money’s worth, you’ll need to check if they have:

  • Liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance. The former ensures that the company will shoulder the expenses if they damage your property during the tree removal process. The latter protects you from lawsuits and sky-high expenses if company employees get injured on your property.
  • Sufficient and up-to-date training. Tree removal isn’t a walk in the park; it involves specialized machinery and processes that only professionals like us can properly handle.
  • Free estimates. The company should guarantee that the estimate is exact won’t charge you additional fees after the job is complete.

 

These are just some of the things you must keep in mind before getting tree removal services. If you’re ready to have your unwanted trees removed, get in touch with us here at eLandscaping. We offer tree removal services in Palm Springs and can tackle the entire removal process, leaving your garden looking clean. We also provide tree trimming in Palm Springs, so we can get trees under control and make them horticultural wonders.

Desert Landscaping Palm Springs with eLandscaping

/in /by

When people think of landscaping, they usually imagine lush, verdant gardens with colorful blooms, handsome water features, and tall stately trees. This isn’t really surprising since gardens are usually green and vibrant but, if you’re a homeowner, take note that these aren’t your only options! If you’re looking for something different, you can also try xeriscaping or desert landscaping.

 

Why Should You Opt for a Desert Landscape?

Building a desert-like environment outside your house may make you raise your eyebrows, but it’s actually a good idea! Desert landscaping is a great option for many homeowners because:

 

  1. It’s environmentally friendly

Many areas in the United States are experiencing severe to extreme drought, while California (especially the Palm Springs area) is in a class all by itself with the exceptional drought it’s going through. If you live in California or any other area with water shortage, you’ll want to have a garden that needs very little water and can help reduce your home’s water consumption. Xeriscaping, which uses drought-tolerant plants, is the answer.

 

  1. It’s low-maintenance

When you have a xeriscape garden, you won’t need to water, prune, or weed your plants regularly. This is a huge plus particularly if you don’t have a green thumb or if you’re always busy with work and don’t have lots of time to garden. With desert landscaping, your garden will stay pretty even when you don’t do much maintenance.

 

  1. It’s unique

How many people do you know who have xeriscape gardens? Probably only a couple of your friends, or maybe even none. This is one of the best things about desert landscaping: not everyone has switched to it yet so, when you have your garden xeriscape, you know that it will be unique and extraordinary.

 

Desert Landscaping Techniques You Should Know

Once you decide on desert landscaping, it’s time to start planning for it. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Create a design

The success of any landscaped garden doesn’t depend on cost; rather, it depends on the design you implement. Make a desert landscape design that complements your house and other existing structures and makes the most of your property’s natural terrain.

Choose your plants

People always think of cacti in xeriscapes, but remember that they’re not the only plants you can choose from! There are many other shrubs, trees, succulents, and flowering plants that are drought-proof, so explore these options and choose those that best fit your garden.

Prepare your soil

Xeriscape plants don’t need much water, but they do need nutrients to grow. So, before doing anything else, add compost, mulched leaves, and other materials to your garden’s soil to increase its nutrient content and make it conducive to plant growth.

 

Sounds difficult? Don’t worry since you don’t have to tackle everything on your own! Get in touch with us here at eLandscaping and take advantage of our desert landscaping Palm Springs services. We can turn lifeless plots of land into gorgeous xeriscape gardens and can assist you in transforming your yard!

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.
