Landscaping Site Preparation

East Lang Landscaping offers Landscaping Site Preparation from Langley to Hope within the Fraser Valley.

Before planting your garden, trees or other greenery you want for your site, ensuring that the area is properly prepared is essential. Working underneath loosens up the surrounding soil allowing new roots to spread and grab hold of the earth faster. Helping your plants get rooted assists them in becoming the nicest on the block or perhaps your entire neighbourhood. Proper site preparation sets up the grade to allow for slower or faster drainage, depending on your site needs, thus preventing your new plants from either getting waterlogged or drying out too fast.

Soil Composition 

At the same time, proper soil prepping ensures that you have the right mix of loam, organic matter and sand mixtures that may not have been part of the original composition of the dirt.  Too much clay, rock or sand can cause plants to not take root in the beginning or stunt their growth later on. Amended soils provide slow nutrient release over a much longer period of time than adding fertilizer. Planting in amended soil benefits your plants by helping them to grow faster and live longer. This kind of growth over the long term will have you trimming your hedges before long!

Spend some extra time at the start of your project to make sure your landscaping efforts are not in vain…

After it’s all done, kick back in your lawn chair or have friends over for a backyard BBQ to simply admire the most beautiful yard on the block – yours!
