The clock has officially “sprung” ahead, the flowers are beginning to bloom, the squirrels are unpacking their stashes of nuts and the spring rains are upon us. This is the time of year to consider Greenworks EcoScapes seasonal color option. But, more about that in a bit.
Drip Systems
The standard palate for our seasonal color program is generally flower beds and elevated planters, both common landscaping tools. These areas are generally in a good position for a drip irrigation upgrade. Drip irrigation is pretty much just how it sounds. Small, easily hidden, precision watering for your flower beds and elevated planters. The common misconception is that a drip system is not particularly necessary because the regular irrigation system is covering that area. This may be true; however, a drip system delivers moisture directly to the soil and is effective in getting the water where it needs to be. By their nature, bedding plants are obscuring the soil and can actually hinder watering. An effective drip system is the best option for elevated planters and flower beds.

Now, before you are forced to choose between maintaining your yard or slapping that perfectly marbled rib-eye on the grill take a moment to look at our year-round landscape maintenance page. At Greenworks EcoScapes, we offer comprehensive, year-round yard care. It is painfully obvious when you drive by that one house that has the picture-perfect lawn that, either he spends most of his time on maintaining his lawn or he has professional help. Let’s face it, most of us lead incredibly busy lives and taking care of the lawn and landscaping is generally an obligation. 
Watering is a necessity and many do not pay much attention to how they are watering their lawn. As the weather gets warmer, it does not mean that more water needs to dumped on your lawn In fact, if you have properly prepared your lawn you do not need to alter your watering. The key is figuring out how much water your system is putting out. Putting an empty tuna can in your yard can tell you if you are watering enough. You should be putting down an inch of water a week as a rule of thumb.
