Nurturing Your Newly Installed Landscape: A Comprehensive Guide to Watering

Written by Brandon Cash, Sutton’s Landscape Designing & Project Manager

We're thrilled to see your new landscape come to life! The creativity and hard work that went into your landscape design have reached fruition, and now the nurturing phase begins. Here's a simple guide to ensure that the newly installed plants thrive in their new environment.

First Two Weeks: Daily Attention

Your new Plants need daily watering during the first two weeks to help them get comfortable and begin growing.

Weeks Three to Twelve: Finding Their Feet

As the plants grow stronger, water them every two to three days for the next three to twelve weeks. This balance helps them flourish without becoming dependent.

Beyond Twelve Weeks: Rooted and Growing

Once you reach the twelve-week mark, your plants should be well-established. Water them weekly and watch them blossom into maturity.

Golden Rules for Watering

• Time it Right: Early morning or late evening watering is optimal, taking advantage of milder temperatures.

• Technique Matters: Focus on watering at the base of the plants, not over the top, to prevent potential issues.

• Moderation is Key: Overwatering can harm the plants; the soil should have a moldable clay texture.

By adhering to these guidelines, you're on the path to a healthy and stunning landscape that will be the envy of the neighborhood. Your landscaping dreams are now tangible, and with a little attention to watering, they will flourish season after season.
