Goodway Landscape - From Design to Finish

Online, February 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - About Goodway Landscape : We prune plants to make them more beautiful, to encourage flowering, and to help them grow strong and healthy. Some trees and shrubs need never be pruned while others require a seasonal cutting.

It's easy to find out the quality of your soil - and it's easy to improve it.

There are three different types of soil. Consider the list below to determine yours. If you are still unsure, visit your local garden center. They are experts in your region's conditions and are there to help.

A trip to Bali or Hawaii may not be on the horizon, but a tropical garden could bring the romance of an exotic locale right into your backyard. The look is lush and seductive, abounding in striking colors and contrasts. Shocking pink, chartreuse, lemon yellow, burgundy and orange can be set off to brilliant advantage by the deep greens of tropical foliage. Surprisingly, many tropical-looking plants can withstand cooler temperatures, so don't limit your ideas...think wild.

Aquatic Plants are Mother Nature's best filters - from a filtration perspective they are second to none. Thriving from the excess nutrients in a pond and depriving the algae of its food source, the aquatic plants in a water garden, given proper coverage, are critical to the overall ecosystem. It is not a good idea to keep more than one pond plant in its container (and none for ponds 8'x11' and smaller) because aquatic plants need to stretch their roots in order to thrive, and because those roots will help to reduce bio-solids, or sludge.

Contact Goodway Landscape A Zen garden is a place to clear the mind and calm the soul. Inspired by ancient Asian garden traditions that value harmony and reverence for nature, a Zen garden is the perfect antidote to the stress and complications of modern living. This kind of garden is often characterized by small conifers and trees accented by tranquil water features. Ornamental grasses, bamboo and stone are common. Flowers, however play a limited role since most garden elements are chosen for year-round visual appeal.

Sometimes purposefully architectural, and sometimes modern with a softer edge, a contemporary garden brings the natural world to unexpected places. Rooftops, balconies and patios are all ideal for contemporary gardens. Consider using vertical and cascading effects to make dramatic green statements. Oversized containers make a big statement in contemporary garden spaces as well.
