Tips for Plantscaping Your Deck

Picture
The breath of spring is back touching our gardens and reviving all those beautiful, flowering plants that we all love so much. However, there is no reason that this beautiful scene has to be confined to our gardens and patios. It is a simple thing to extend this beauty to our decks by landscaping them with equally beautiful scenery. Here are some tips to help you increase the beauty of your home and extend your garden to your deck.
 
  • Buy pots of various sizes: You can create an infinite range of possibilities by buying pots to accommodate plants of different sizes. Plant holders, boxes and pots come in a variety of styles and colors and can be purchased at your local hardware store or the lawn and garden center in stores like Walmart, etc.

  • Know each plant’s growth requirements: Knowing a plant’s height and sun requirements are necessary in order to help your garden thrive. Also, be sure to check the soil preference and hardiness rating of each plant you buy.

  • Use special soil: Be sure that your container soil is well drained, especially if you intend to grown vegetables in your deck garden.
  • Buy the right tools: Whether you are tending a traditional garden, a deck garden or your lawn, it is essential to have the right tools. Be sure to have a well-made, flexible hose and durable hose nozzle as well as other gardening implements in order to help your plants (and small trees) grow.
  • Make sure you have the room: Make sure that you have the room to tend your plants and to move around freely without moving furniture when caring for your garden.
  • Make sure your deck is well maintained: There is no sense in starting a garden if your deck is not in proper condition. Our deck repair contractors in NJ, can inspect and repair your deck if needed to match the beauty of anything you may choose to plant there. Our deck repair in NJ is quick and our crews are courteous and knowledgeable.
 
Advantages of having Deck Garden
 
There are many advantages to having a deck garden. In fact, in some instances the benefits outweigh those of a traditional garden.
 
  • A disease contracted by a single plant is less likely to spread to others.
  • Rearranging plants are easier with a container garden.
  • There is less back pain involved in tending a deck garden.
  • Off leash pets and wild life are less likely to ruin a deck garden.
 
In short, starting a deck garden is not the chore some people believe it to be. It can enhance and beautify your home in a new and interesting way. Besides, what better way is there to pay tribute to the beauty of the season than by extending it to your deck?
