When is the proper time of pruning for flowering trees and shrubs? Part of the answer depends on whether the time of flowering is in the early spring or later in the season. As a general rule of thumb, prune flowering trees and shrubs immediately after flowering. 

Pruning correctly is important in maintaining the health and vigor of your landscape plants. Proper pruning helps to maintain the shape and form of your plants, helps to remove any unwanted growth, allows for the removal of any diseased or broken branches and helps to stimulate new growth and better flowering.   Not all trees and shrubs require regular pruning but if implemented it should be done correctly and at the right time of year (See Listing Below).

Pink Flowering Dogwood

Early spring bloomers formed their buds in early fall the season before on old wood. Pruning these plants before flowering in spring will result in cutting off the buds and decreased bloom.  Varieties of trees and shrubs that bloom earlier in the season (prior to the end of June) should be pruned immediately after flowering in late spring/summer. These plants include:  Flowering Dogwood, Forthysia, Flowering Crabapple, Flowering Cherry, Flowering Plum, Vibernum, Weigela, Magnolia, Wisteria, Mock Orange, Lilac, Rhododendron, Azalea and Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla).
 

With the temperatures dropping now that fall is approaching, it is the time of year to invest in a custom fire pit to help you and your family enjoy the outdoors longer and extend the season.

Gas fire pits are a great way to spend time outdoors gathered around the warmth of the flame enjoying conversation with family and friends. Cooler evenings mean less time spent enjoying the outdoors, but with custom fire pit, you can extend time spent in your outdoor living area.

The nice thing about a gas fire pit is that it is easily controlled with the flip of a switch and that it does not emit the harmful, noxious fumes, ash and embers that wood burning fire pits do. So when you are looking to invest in a fire pit, make sure you go with gas. On top of the environmental and health concerns that go along with wood burning fire pits, many local ordinances do not allow wood burning fire pits, but do allow natural gas or propane units.

One of the most common questions that I get about gardens is What type of grass can I plant in my garden?

There are a couple of things that limit the type of lawn that you can use:

• Sun/Shade - Probably the most limiting factor in choosing your lawn. The more light there is - the more choice as to what lawns are available to you. Very few grasses will grow in shade, and if they do, they will need a lot more pampering to keep them looking happy.
• Traffic - Some lawns are hardier than others, and are affected to a huge degree by the type of soil in your garden. If you get a lot of traffic, e.g. pathways or play, then either choose a hardier lawn or use stepping stones.
  
• Maintenance - How much time have you got to control, pamper or molly-coddle your lawn? Choose a lawn-type that suits your time and energy available for the garden.
• Size - If your garden is quite small you should try to find an alternative to grass - there is nothing worse than pouring all your energy into keeping a little patch happy only to slowly but surely lose the battle to weeds or bare soil.

Once youve looked at these aspects in your garden, ask yourself one more question...

A lawn doesnt have to be grass! In fact maybe gravel, bark chips or paving would be a better solution?

A few years ago, I was called into give some advice for a small townhouse garden that had a real problem with weeds - the grass was battling under the shade of trees from neighbours and regular traffic, but the weeds seemed to be thriving.
We could have fed the soil, and cut back the trees - but that would have been quite costly, and the gardens character was enhanced by the beautiful trees next door. Instead of continuing on with this constant battle I suggested that we go with the flow and plant more of the weeds.
The weed in question was a little groundcover called Dichondra (Wonderlawn) with a small round leaf that stays short and thrives in moist, shady conditions. A few years later, and this townhouse garden still has their beautiful lawn with very little maintenance required.

Take a look at the next post on this topic for the different types of groundcovers available, and their pros and cons.
