Top 5 Tips for New Orleans Residential Landscaping:

  1. KISS - yep, this applies to residential landscape projects too! Keep it simple sweetheart!  Lawn and garden maintenance can be a lot of work if you do it yourself.  If this is the case, keep your garden simple so you can enjoy it stress free.  There are a number of plants, trees and bushes that prosper in the New Orleans climate that require little maintenance and look nice year round.  Some of these include Indian Hawthorne, Azaleas, or Hollies. 
  2. Mulch, Mulch, Mulch, and Mulch some more... Proper mulch content and quantity will help protect your plants, trees, and shrubs from those scorching New Orleans summers as the mulch helps to keep the water in the ground. It also will help prevent many of the torpedo grasses and weeds we so often see taking over the beautiful New Orleans gardens. 
  3. Test Your Soil... New Orleans has various soil types depending on your area, elevation, and many other factors. Understanding your soil type in the beginning phases will better help you care for your plants and trees to keep them healthy well into the future.
  4. Water, but not too much...we always recommend watering your beds and trees early morning to provide nourishment throughout the day. It gives the water ample time to soak to the roots before it would begin to evaporate mid day in New Orleans. Also, you want to certainly avoid applying any moisture late in the day as it doesn't dry out quick enough and may lead to a plant fungus among us!
  5. Assess your desires and needs of your space...if you have kids running around the backyard pool, the last thing you want are Holly bushes in your landscaping that could hurt the kids. Similarly, if you have pets who frequent the garden, stay away from any poisonous although pretty plant varieties for your New Orleans residential landscaping project.
