How Does YOUR Garden Grow?
They say no two fingerprints are alike. You could say the same about plants because of the external factors that can influence their growth and ultimately their overall look.
Soil compaction is a common occurrence in residential yards. This can affect not only your plants root system, but also its overall vigor. Tree roots will tend to surface more often in compacted lawns. Water doesn’t drain as well and will have a negative impact on your plants.
Sidewalks or concrete is another external factors affecting plants. You will see this most notably with tree roots bubbling up by the sidewalk or grass that dies along cement due to excessive heat and lack of moisture.
Shade can affect plant growth and is often overlooked due to maturing landscapes. Plants aren’t stagnant and are living things, therefore, they are constantly growing and changing. This means a yard full of sun 10 years ago might be partial or full shade now. This lack of sun for sun-loving plants can cause them to decline. Landscapes need rejuvenated every now and then to keep up with the ever changing aspect of plants.
