A seeded lawn takes at least one full year to fill in uniformly throughout your yard; and many times, two years are needed to develop a thick luxurious lawn.
After planting a tree, or installing a planting bed, cover the bed or tree pit area with shredded mulch (hardwood bark).
All plants need water. As a supplement to fertilizing, trees may need to be watered.
For your newly planted shrubs, up to one year after transplanting, no fertilizer is necessary since Greenkeepers used a proper planting soil mixture when installing your shrubbery.
Newly planted perennial gardens shouldn’t need fertilization until the second year. For most perennials, a simple application of 5-10-5 in the spring is sufficient.
For newly planted groundcover beds, during the first spring and summer after installation, fertilize every month with a liquid spray such as Miracle-Gro.
