Proper landscape installation peer landscapingAfter our expert landscape installers at Peer Landscaping of Fort Myers, FL are done installing your brand-new plants, trees, and shrubs all of it will need some extra care until those plants are established.

The most imperative thing you will need to do once your new landscape is installed is to water it. Here are some instructions for proper watering. You must water newly installed plants EVERY DAY for the first 30 days. This will help your plant’s root ball to extend itself and establish into the surrounding soil. The compressed root ball can’t absorb moisture as easily as an established plant. Don’t just sprinkle the top of the soil. Put the hose directly where the root ball is and with a low-pressure flow of water, water it thoroughly. After the first 30 days you can water the plants every other day for one more month and then after two months your regular irrigation cycle should be enough, and especially in the summertime here in Southwest Florida, when it rains pretty much every day, you won’t need to water that much after the first two months, at least until the winter months. Here’s a good rule of thumb to follow during the fall and winter months when there is less rainfall here. If we got less than one inch of rainfall in a week then trees should be watered two times per week in dry, hot weather and one time in cool weather. For trees, you should water for three to five minutes or until the water starts to flow out of the hole. Shrubs also need to be watered two times a week in dry, to weather and one time a week in cool weather. Water them for two to three minutes.

At Peer Landscaping of Fort Myers, FL we will often stake brand new trees during our installation process. You should keep your newly staked trees staked for at least 12 months. This will allow them to start proper root growth, stabilize in the soil and grow straight by keeping them from being blown about by the wind during our wild summer thunderstorms here. 

We always fertilize your newly planted trees and shrubs, but you’ll want to follow that up eventually. Here’s a good schedule for fertilizing:

  1. Deciduous or evergreen trees: fertilize with granular feed 12 months after planting.
  2. Deciduous or evergreen shrubs: fertilize once in the fall around October and once in the spring around March.
  3. Groundcover: fertilize with a liquid fertilizer once in the fall around October and once in the spring around March.
  4. Annuals and perennials: Fertilize in the spring with liquid fertilizer.
