The landscape installation shown here was installed by Kmetz Landscape Design and maintained throughout the years.  The new residential home has a few site considerations which were properly constructed.  One site consideration was drainage of down spouts, and all down spouts were buried or had drain tile installed to carry water away from the house.  Another consideration of the residence was easy mowing around the landscape beds.  And as you can see, large beds with soft circular arcs, and pop-out bubbles were designed to draw the viewers eyes into the landscape.  The design also focused on color, which is the most notable visual characteristic.  The use of bright colors convey a cheerful and inviting atmosphere, while the darker tones set a relaxing feeling.

The maintenance of a landscape is very important.  Proper pruning, deadheading, weeding and use of no chemicals in your landscape will increase the health, and show of your landscape.  If you are not sure how to prune, consult a knowledgeable and best of all, someone who is a credited landscaper/ horticulturist.  Call KLD 262-206-7379 if you would like to properly have your landscape evaluated/maintained.

Mulching:  Do you mulch your landscape every summer?  Do you know the facts of mulch?  Are you over-mulching?  Did you know over-mulching is wasted money, time and causes plants to die?  Repeated mulching can cause the plant root zone to be waterlogged eliminating any soil nutrients and water to the roots of the plants, causing them to die. Call KLD 262-206-7379 and ask about the mulch program that can help your landscape grow effectively and save you money.
