Waterfalls, Ponds, Fountains and other Landscaping Water Features

Article by Chris Orser Landscaping; Bucks, Montgomery County

Nothing acts as a better focal point to a garden then a water feature. Be it an elegant waterfall that splashes into a pond, or an elegant fountain, among many other things, moving water acts as a wonderful buffer against the ruckus of a neighborhood during summer. Apart from soothing sounds, tranquility and beauty moving water brings to a garden it also brings all new types of bird life and even toads and such. Recently, water features have become much more self-sustaining and efficient to install. Less maintenance for you means more time enjoying your landscape, not working on it. Other water features include fountainscapes, pondless waterfalls, rain gardens, and rainwater harvesting systems. If you would like to meet with Chris or one of our designers to discuss the addition of a water feature to your property, please give us a call at 215-249-1236 to schedule an appointment.

Landscape Maintenance; Landscaping Spring Clean-Ups

Article by Landscaping; Chris Orser

Before you do anything else to your yard in the spring make sure your beds are prepared to host plantings. Be sure to remove any debris or leaf refuse left over from the fall, and apply a pre-emergent weed control to stop foreign seeds from germinating. A three inch layer of fresh mulch should be applied and the entire garden should be edged to give a clean appearance. To receive professional advice and to set up a consultation visit http://www.orserlandscaping.com or call (215) 249-1236. You might also consider supplementing your garden beds with compost or manure mixture to give your existing plants a boost. Or slow release fertilizers will do wonders for your plants in the garden. When it comes time to add new greenery be sure not to step in the garden to prevent soil compaction. Chris Orser Landscaping, Inc. can prepare your beds for you and even plant some spring annuals at your request. Give us a call today and we'll get your beds into tip top shape!

En esta ocasión el reto estaba en sacar la "foto a una foto", consiguiendo retratar un paisaje o un lugar en condiciones muy distintas. En este caso el resultado sale de lo que te encontrarías al acercarte a una conocida playa cantábrica con tan solo 18 horas de diferencia de una a otra fotografía.

This time the challenge was to make the "picture of a picture", and get portraying a landscape or a place in very different conditions. In this case the result comes out of what you were still closer to a famous cantabrian beach with 18 hours difference only from one to another photo.

Landscape Design: Using Bricks

Most people who design their own landscapes and especially professional landscape designers find that at one stage or another they use bricks to make borders, solve problems, protect certain features or even build unique additions to a yard. Landscaping bricks are used so widely, because they come in all shapes, sizes and colours and give any garden a traditional, classic and unified look. A benefit of using bricks in a landscape is that they can literally transform an otherwise dull area into a creative artwork and can make a garden look professional and well designed. Bricks are inexpensive and easy to use and change if necessary. They fit into all styles and designs. You can buy bricks almost anywhere, especially at nurseries or garden centres, but a great idea is to get bricks from old building sites or from the side of roads, because these look more natural and a "weathered" look can be extremely appealing in a garden.

A wonderful element to create with bricks in a landscape is a courtyard.

You will only need bricks and mortar and you can lay the bricks yourself - all in the same direction or in different directions. This is very easy to build and you can even use a "horizontal then vertical laying" technique to make a creative patio. Add brick flowerbeds to complete the effect. Use your bricks to construct boundaries for flower gardens or you can erect a tiny wall surrounding the flowerbeds. You can also use these walls in water gardens and encase water areas to contrast the organic and the geometrical. It adds warmth to a water feature. Bricks are mostly, however, used to create walkways and paths in a garden. You can build a definite path to a certain area or you front door or you can create random paths through beautiful areas. If your ground is quite soft, line the bottom of the path with organic landscaping fabric so the bricks will not sink away. Use bricks where you expect to have a lot of traffic in the garden so your garden will not experience wear and tear.

In the end, bricks produce an untainted, orderly and expert look. They have a large predisposition to draw awareness, so you can "guide" individuals through a designed garden rather effortlessly. You can even make use of crushed bricks to create pathways as they act as more rough and edgy cobblestones. Ensure that you apply contract in a garden, due to the fact that is makes the garden more attractive and enhances character to the surroundings. Bricks automatically do this, because they oppose the natural surroundings of a garden.

Anyone can use bricks and build their own features, because it is easy and every person has an idea for his or her garden. With a little imagination, you can do anything. If, however, you feel it is "safer" to leave it to someone else, professional landscape designer will definitely have limitless ideas and methods at your disposal.

Landscaping: Even in Winter Months There is Work That Should Be Done...

Article by Chris Orser Landscaping, Inc.

Don’t let “OLD MAN WINTER” take the life out of your lawn and landscape environment.

Chris Orser Landscaping, Inc. is providing your neighborhood community with all around “winter protection”, at reduced winter pricing.

We would like the opportunity to help you protect your lawn and landscape investment by offering you the following dormant season services:

• Lime treatment to your lawn. This corrects the acidity level in your lawn (raises the pH), and results in an overall higher quality of turf.

• Anti-Dessicant spray for broadleaf evergreens. This liquid application will help reduce damage caused by windburn and loss of moisture. It also protects trees and shrubs from winter desiccation.

• Dormant season pruning – cold weather pruning not only causes trees and shrubs to go dormant, but insects and diseases are all shut down for the winter season. There is much less risk of spreading infectious diseases, and no risk of insects burrowing into pruned cavities.

While in the neighborhood, allow us to give you our free Professional Lawn Care analysis and estimate for the upcoming 2008 growing season.
