Affordable Landscaping and Tree Service provides New Lawn Installations and Landscape Plantings services for residential and commercial properties in Wallingford, CT and surrounding towns of New Haven County. Here’s what each service involves:

New Lawn Installations in Wallingford, CT

  • Site Preparation: This involves clearing the area of debris, weeds, and old grass. The soil is then graded to ensure proper drainage.
  • Soil Testing and Amendment: The soil is tested for pH, nutrients, and texture. Based on the results, soil amendments like compost, fertilizers, or lime might be added to improve soil quality.
  • Lawn Installation: There are different methods for installing a new lawn:
    • Sod Installation: Pre-grown grass is rolled out like a carpet over the prepared soil. It provides an instant lawn but can be more expensive.
    • Seeding: Grass seeds are spread evenly over the soil. It’s a more affordable option but takes longer to establish.
    • Hydroseeding: A slurry of seeds, mulch, and water is sprayed over the soil, which can be faster and more uniform than traditional seeding.
  • Watering and Initial Care: After installation, the new lawn requires regular watering, fertilizing, and sometimes mowing until it’s established.

  • Design Planning: We assesses the site and discusses the client’s preferences. A design plan is then created, outlining which plants will be used and where they will be placed.
  • Soil Preparation: Similar to lawn installation, the soil is prepared by testing and amending as necessary to suit the types of plants being installed.
  • Plant Selection: Plants are chosen based on the climate, soil conditions, sunlight availability, and aesthetic preferences. These can include trees, shrubs, flowers, and ground cover.
  • Planting: The plants are carefully positioned and planted according to the design plan. This may include adding mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Irrigation Installation: An irrigation system may be installed to ensure that plants receive the right amount of water.
  • Maintenance: Ongoing care, such as watering, fertilizing, pruning, and pest control, is essential to help the plants establish and thrive.
