Panama City landscaping can be a dream or a nightmare depending on the cultural practices employed. Here are 5 quick tips for caring for your Florida landscaping.
1. Use mulch on your plant beds. Keep a minimum of three inches of mulch on your plant beds. Please don’t use cypress mulch as the Louisiana wetlands are being devastated by this practice.
2. Water only when necessary. Most homeowners over water their landscapes. Please don’t just “set it and forget” when it comes programming your sprinkler controller.
3. Right plant-Right place. The closer you are to the beach, the more that need to investigate the salt tolerance of your planting.
4. Install drought resistance plants. Installing drought resistant native plants, and watering them with a separate low volume irrigation zone helps all of us save water.
5. Mow the grass high. The higher you mow your grass, the deeper the root system of your turf.
Follow these simple tips and make your Panama City landscaping more of a dream than a nightmare.
