Irrigation zones in landscapes irrigation design
So-called "irrigation zones" are an element of landscape irrigation design that allows to target water distribution with precision, thus cutting down on waste and saving you money.
The premise behind the landscape irrigation design concept of "irrigation zones" is simple enough. Before you install your system, you need to decide that area A of your land should get X amount of water, while area B should receive Y amount, etc. Once you have irrigation zones established, you will then program your system accordingly.

What Are Your Top Plants for September?
What plants achieve "most favored" status in your September yard? Forget fall foliage trees for now, as they will be hogging the spotlight next month.
I have quite a variety of top performers in my landscaping this month: a little of this and a little of that. Three ornamental grasses certainly deserve mention; then there's Liriope, which is often grouped with the grasses (although it's not one).

Choosing New Trees
When buying a container-grown tree, look for a firm, straight trunk and an equal balance of branches around the tree. A good nursery will let you check the roots as well.

or roots poking through the drainage holes. Look for water efficiency, too. Read

Landscaping Tips
If you use rocks of similar appearance throughout your rock garden, it will have a more natural look.
Brick or flagstone edging makes a plain exposed aggregate walkway more beautiful and formal. Edging also can help indicate elevation changes, such as where steps begin, thus making a walkway safer.
