Sprinkler System Winterization

admin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 19:52:03 +0000

Total Lawn Care, Inc., can help you Winterize (Blow Out) your Sprinkler System. It is important to clear all of your sprinkler lines to avoid frozen water damage. The Pressure Vacuum Breaker must be free from any water, as well as the sprinkler lines and sprinkler heads. As the weather drops below freezing, any residual pools of water within these sprinkler parts will expand and crack.

This simple yearly Sprinkler Winterization can save you hundreds of dollars in repairs when the spring comes around! Let one of Total Lawn Care, Inc., professionals help you perform this service! Simply call us at (248)-588-1694, email us at info@totallawncareinc.com, or Click Here to use our Online Request to secure your appointment, or get a free estimate on any of your Sprinkler System needs!

Mulch, Compost, and Topsoil!

admin — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:28:48 +0000

Mulch is one of the best tools a landscape designer has in his or her toolbox. Mulch can take a bland, or stale landscape, and give it a fresh new look. Although mulch is most often used in beds, it is also a great material to go around tree’s within a turf panel. By mulching just the right amount (Not so much that it puts pressure on the tree trunk!), you can create a professional edge, and a nice point of contrast within your yard.

Mulch also provides a great substitute for grass in areas that are too small, or otherwise unaccessible, such as around walkways. By surrounding your walkway with mulch you can create a low maintenance, yet very stylish landscape!

Not sure how much mulch, compost, or topsoil you need? No problem! Call us at 248-588-1694

When to Plant Perennials and Annuals!

admin — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 21:14:58 +0000

Thinking about planting Annual and Perennial flowers this year? Middle to late Spring is the most opportune time to plant perennials and annuals in your garden. By planting them in mid to late Spring, you ensure that any late night frosts do not effect root growth, or plant health. You also ensure that the heat waves of summer do not effect the plant early in it’s growing cycle. Summer planting can also be very successful if proper watering is observed during the planting process.

Watering is crucial to newly planted annuals and perennials. Water the plants immediately, right after planting. Water a minimum of once a week for the first two weeks to keep plant roots moist and improve root vigor.

Perennial and Annual maintenance is fairly easy. Be sure to remove dead flowers as soon as possible to encourage new growth during spring and summer, prune off any dead tops in late winter, and apply insecticide as needed to control any pests as soon as noticed to help avoid spreading them to other plants.

If you would like to have Perennials or Annuals installed in your garden, or would like to meet with one of our landscaping professionals to plan a landscaping design for your own yard, Call us at 248-588-1694 info@totallawncareinc.com, or Click Here to use our Online Request to schedule an appointment for a free!

Retaining Walls and Brick Paver Stones

admin — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:54:59 +0000

We all love the look of a nicely landscaped yard. Brick Retaining Walls and Brick Paver Pathways are an excellent way of adding even more elegance to your property! Not only do Brick Retainer Walls help control soil erosion, they also help keep precious mulch from entering your turf. Although Brick Retainer Walls and Pathways are some of the most pleasing and eye catching features of a landscaped yard, they are also one of the most labor intensive to install!

Drainage, and weight of subsoil must always be taken into consideration when creating a retaining wall. Often times, a “Weep Hole”, or a drainage line, must be added to help drainage, and avoid structural problems. If a retainer wall is not installed with proper drainage, especially in an area with previous drainage problems, it can eventually cause the wall to fail.

If you are thinking about designing or installing a brick retaining wall or pathway, please contact us! We have trained experts in Hardscapes and can help you create a retaining wall or patio specific to your landscape that will fit your budget!

Sprinkler Turn On and Water Audit

admin — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 17:11:58 +0000

Not sure exactly what to do for your Sprinkler Turn On? Don’t worry, Total Lawn Care can help! During a Sprinkler Turn On, we check all sprinkler heads for proper coverage and proper working order. We then set your clock for you, and make any recommendations you may want to impliment to better irrigate your landscaping.

We can even go a step further, and do a thorough water audit. Landscape irrigation auditing is a great tool for lowering your water bills, and maximizing water efficiency. A Sprinkler Audit consists of three main procedures: Initial Site Inspection, Water Measuring, and Irrigation Schedule Adjustment. Each procedure is designed to result in significant water savings, along with making sure the proper amount of irrigation is reaching each individual zone dependent on what type of plant material is getting irrigated. A water audit is performed by laying out catch devices (Often plastic cups are used.) in a grid like pattern throughout the irrigated area. The zone is then turned on, and allowed to run for generally 10 to 15 minutes. The time is recorded, and the water within each cup is measured and recorded. Next we figure out the precipitation rate at which that zone is running. We do this by taking the average amount of water in each cup divided by the number of of cups, multiplied by 60. This gives us a valid “Inches per Hour”, and allows us to see how effectively the system is running. Because different plant material require alternate watering than turf, knowing the Inches per Hour rate will let us know where we can turn down the zones watering to save on water, but still effectively irrigate the zone.
