A yard is more than just the grass. Landscaping can play a major role in the way it looks. Since Florida has more sunshine than most states, Brevard County lawn maintenance is important year-round. Make sure to water your lawn only when necessary. If you use plants native to Florida or others that work in this environment, you can lower your use of fertilizer and water. Instead, set up rain barrels and compost bins, making your yard even more environmentally friendly.
Proper watering and sunlight
Before you do any major landscape renewal, you’ll want to take note of your current water conditions, sun exposure and the type of soil. These will all help you pick the plants that not only look good in your yard but are more likely to thrive in it as well. A lawn care service can help you determine what plants will do well.
Invasive plants
You’ll want to be careful, too, and make sure to get rid of any current invasive plants the grounds may already have. Be careful not to add any. Plants that aren’t native to Florida may look pretty, but if they’re not native, you’re setting yourself up for long-term problems. Also, they may affect the ecosystem adversely.
