Information for Landscape Professionals
As a landscape designer or installation professional, not only do you want the best results for your customers, you rely on their upkeep to maintain the quality of your work for referrals and future business.
For many people the excitement of a new landscape plan for their home or business is focused on the design plan and their perceptions of what the finished product will look like. Water requirements, soil conditions, weeding, fertilizing and other routine maintenance in many situations are secondary considerations.
Often soil is overlooked in a landscape installation. Regardless of the condition of the existing soil, many consumers believe that even the worst of soils can be amended with readily available synthetic chemicals and additives. Unfortunately, most of the results are short-lived and do not address the problems of poor soil quality and usually result in over-applications of these products. Their plantings may look healthy, but shallow roots and lack of organic nutrients can lead to long term disease and pest problems.
A sound foundation of a balanced organic soil supplemented annually with compost provides the growth medium for most plants without additional soil additives. Over time as your landscape plan takes hold, the soil ecosystem is well established reducing demands for nitrogen fertilizers, aeration and watering.
A comprehensive sustainable landscape plan using organic EXSEED® Soil Products helps ensure your designs get the desired results and reduces landscape maintenance for your clients.
