ANNUAL FLOWER PLANTING

FLOWER PLANTING ANNUALLY IN WASHINGTON, PA

It’s a scientific fact that color can have a dramatic effect on your mood. Adding splashes of color to your existing landscape with cool-season and warm-season annuals is an excellent way to improve the appearance of your yard as well as lift your spirits every time you look outside or spend time outdoors.

Dolan's Outdoor Services works with residential homeowners in and around Washington, PA and the nearby cities of Waynesburg, Houston, Canonsburg, and Claysville to plan and implement flower gardens to complement the existing landscape and brighten the entire yard.As beautiful as annual flowers are, they die at the end of each growing season and must be re-planted again the following spring. The good news is that many flowers do exceptionally well in our warm and humid summers. They grow from the early days of spring until the first frost. Here are several types of flowers that grow well in the Washington, PA climate:

• Petunias
• Impatiens
• Begonias
• Pansies
• Canna lilies

We follow these steps when planting your flowers to ensure their healthy growth:

• Clear your flower bed of debris
  
• Add fertilizer and compost to your annual flower beds
• Till the fertilizer until it’s deep within the soil
• Add compost around the newly-planted flowers

Compost provides your annual flowers with nutrients and allows for better drainage. We are happy to discuss this process with you in greater detail during your initial consultation with Dolan's Outdoor Services.Annual flowers can really boost your overall curb appeal and add a much-needed pop of color to your landscape, but it's recommended to use professional planting services to have them installed as some may thrive in sun, while others need a shady area. Our expert landscapers can consult with you on where you want to add flowers to your residential landscaping in Washington, Waynesburg, Houston, Canonsburg, Claysville, and other areas of Pennsylvania.
