If you're just starting out on your gardening journey and planning to plant saplings or create a beautiful garden, it's important to understand the fundamentals of tree and garden care. The more you learn, the healthier and more vibrant your outdoor space will become!
When we imagine our perfect yard, we often picture stunning curb appeal, shaded spots for family photos, and lush greenery that looks like something out of a dream. While these visions are inspiring, the reality of gardening requires patience, hard work, some mulch, and maybe even a little help from the pros—like Rümi’s lawn and garden experts—to get your yard in top shape. With time, your green thumb could even make your neighbors envious. #plantgoals
**Location, location, location**
Did you know that plants can feel stressed too? Overcrowding can lead to excess humidity, which is a breeding ground for diseases. To keep your plants healthy, make sure they’re spaced properly so they can thrive without being overwhelmed. When adding new plants, be mindful of the space your existing ones need as they grow. They all need room to breathe!
If you're planting a tree, choosing the right spot is crucial. Pick a species that suits your region and ensure it gets enough sunlight with enough space for its full-grown canopy. And don’t worry—it’s not too late to plant a tree this season. Some species can still be planted in August and into the fall. Always check for power lines and underground utilities before digging.
Also, avoid planting your sapling too deep. This can cause the bark at the soil line to decay, affecting the tree’s growth. If you're dealing with larger trees that require more expertise, Rümi’s arborists are here to guide you through the process.
**The right way to water**
Watering your garden correctly can make a big difference in its success. While watering is essential, many plant diseases also thrive in wet conditions. Two effective methods to avoid overwatering are soaker hoses and drip irrigation. If you're watering by hand, be careful not to wet the leaves—focus on the roots instead. Remember, less is more when it comes to hydration. Watering the leaves can encourage fungal growth, while feeding the roots ensures strong, healthy plants.
**How much to mulch?**
Natural mulch like wood chips or bark is great for protecting plant roots from damage, such as from lawnmowers. It also helps insulate trees during Alberta’s dry summers and cold winters, retains moisture, and prevents soil compaction. Plus, it keeps weeds under control. A layer of 2 to 4 inches works well for most plants, but be careful not to pile it against the base of the trunk or stems.
**Proper pruning**
Just like humans, plants benefit from a little grooming. Pruning improves structure by removing dead or damaged parts that can hinder growth. If you're unsure about what to cut or how much, or if you simply don’t have the time, Rümi’s team is here to help. We’ll take care of the trimming so your plants look their best.
**Prevention is everything**
Regular checkups are key—not just for your health, but for your plants too! Scheduling an annual assessment for your trees can help catch early signs of disease or pests before they become serious. Our arborists can identify issues like cankers, leaf discoloration, or unusual holes and provide a plan to keep your garden thriving for years to come.
With these tips, you can turn your yard into the lush, inviting space you've always dreamed of. And if you need expert help with the tougher tasks, Rümi is here to support you every step of the way.
