1. Site evaluation: The first step in the planting process is to evaluate the site and determine the best plants and design for the space. This includes factors such as soil quality, sun exposure, and drainage.
2. Design: Once the site has been evaluated, a design plan is created based on the client’s preferences and the specific conditions of the site. This may include selecting specific plants, determining the placement of paths and structures, and creating a color scheme.
3. Site preparation: Before planting can begin, the site needs to be prepared. This may include removing existing vegetation, grading the site, and improving soil quality.
4. Plant selection and installation: Once the site is prepared, the plants are selected based on the design plan. Plants may be installed by seed, sod, or transplanting, depending on the type and size of the plant. Proper spacing and planting depth are essential for healthy growth.
5. Watering and fertilization: After planting, the plants need to be watered regularly to ensure healthy growth. Fertilization may also be necessary to provide the necessary nutrients.

Watering new plants is essential for their growth and survival, and it’s important to know the right requirements and frequency to ensure their health:

Newly planted vegetation has a shallow root system and requires more frequent watering than established plants. The frequency of watering depends on various factors such as the type of plant, soil type, weather conditions, and location. In general, it’s recommended to water newly planted plants deeply and frequently, at least once or twice a week, depending on the weather conditions. Overwatering can be harmful to the plant, so it’s important to monitor the moisture levels of the soil and water only when necessary. Additionally, watering in the morning or evening is recommended to reduce water loss due to evaporation during the day. Adequate watering during the establishment period is crucial for the plant’s survival and will ensure that it develops a strong root system and thrives in the long term.
