What is crucial for maintaining the health of a landscape after installation?

Regular weeding is essential for maintaining the health of a landscape after installation because it helps prevent competition for vital resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight. Weeds can quickly take over a landscape, and their growth can hinder the development of installed plants, flowers, and grasses. By regularly removing weeds, landscapers and property owners ensure that the desired plants have a better chance to thrive and grow healthily without being choked out or overshadowed.

Additionally, keeping the landscape clear of weeds contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the area, enhancing its overall appearance. This practice also helps prevent the potential spread of pests and diseases that can be harbored by certain weeds, further protecting the landscape’s health.

Infrequent watering can lead to stressed plants, and while some plants may have lower water needs than others, appropriate watering frequency tailored to specific plant types is essential. Complete fertilization only once a year might not provide ongoing nutrient availability, leading to nutrient deficiencies over time. Ignoring pest control can result in pest infestations that damage plants and landscaping, ultimately affecting the landscape's health.
