Benefits of a Backyard Water Feature:
A Symphony of Sound: The gentle trickle or flow of water has a calming effect, masking unwanted noise from neighbors or traffic and creating a peaceful atmosphere.
A Haven for Wildlife: Ponds and water gardens attract a variety of beautiful creatures, including dragonflies, butterflies, and songbirds, adding a dynamic element to your landscape.
A Cooler Microclimate: The presence of water can help to cool the surrounding air, providing a more comfortable space to relax on hot summer days.
Increased Property Value: A well-designed and professionally installed water feature can be a significant aesthetic and financial asset to your home.
Whether you envision a contemporary basalt column fountain, a classic tiered fountain, or a naturalistic pond teeming with life, a water feature is a project that provides enjoyment for years to come.
July Gardening Tips for Your Landscape
The summer heat and rain in South Florida present unique challenges and opportunities for your garden. Here are a few tips from our experts at Pristine Landscapes to keep your landscape thriving this July:
Embrace the Heat-Lovers: This is the perfect time to plant heat-tolerant annuals like celosia, torenia, and ornamental peppers. For a splash of color, consider butterfly lily and gladiolus bulbs.
Water Wisely: With the summer rains, it's important to monitor your irrigation. Water deeply in the early morning to minimize evaporation and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. A rain sensor on your irrigation system can be a great investment to prevent overwatering.
Mulch is Your Best Friend: A generous layer of mulch helps to retain soil moisture, keep roots cool, and suppress weeds.
Fertilize for Growth: The frequent rains can leach nutrients from the soil. A slow-release fertilizer will provide a steady supply of nutrients to your plants, promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Pest and Disease Watch: The heat and humidity can create a breeding ground for pests and diseases. Regularly inspect your plants, especially the undersides of leaves, for any signs of trouble.
