Winter is an ideal time to install new trees and shrubs.
Cooler weather allows the new plants to grow and become established before the heat of our Louisiana summers. The key to success is not to plant the shrub or tree too deep!! Planting too deep causes the hole to
hold water and the roots of the plant can rot.
Keep your plants well drained!!!
1. Lay out your flower beds.
2. Remove all grass and weeds.
3. Till up existing soil
4. Add 4-6” of additional loose soil.
5. Lay out plant material and install leaving 1” of the root ball above grade.
6. Back fill the hole with loose soil.
7. Add 2” of mulch.
