Don't let the rain clouds fool you. While the ne Don't let the rain clouds fool you. While the next few days forecast a chance of rain, northern Illinois is 4 inches below our average rainfall averages for the beginning of May. Plants that aren't provided adequate water may not bloom well and also may not grow and prosper as they should. So what can you do? Check the soil near your shrubs, plants, or perennials. Scrape back any mulch or place your finger in the soil an inch or two. It is moist? If it is dry, that area needs water. For trees and shrubs, we recommend watering without a nozzle at the base of the tree or shrub for 2-3 minutes. For perennials, we recommend watering with a nozzle, for 1-2 minutes. As perennials have a much smaller root setup compared to a tree or shrub, you will need to check them and the soil more often. Still have questions? Give us a call at 630-365-3210. We are always more than happy to help our clients and friends support their landscaping as best we can!
Introducing word Wednesday! Follow us and our Wedn Introducing word Wednesday! Follow us and our Wednesday posts as we help make landscape lingo less confusing. Today’s word: variegated. According to our trusty Merriam-Webster, variegated is defined as “having discrete markings of different colors.” Variegated plants, therefore, have more than one color, and can help create texture and variety within your landscape. Is your landscape in need of some variety? Call us today at 630-365-3210 to schedule a free consultation and estimate. #wordwednesday #wednesday #landscape #landscaping #midwestlandscaping #landscapersofinstagram #stcharles #geneva #batavia #naperville #westchicago #southelgin #elgin #aurora #illinois #il #foxvalley #hosta

With our new system, there are no bulbs, so I never have to change a bulb again, ever!" -Apple Blossom Client 💡 For the excellent warranties The system is built with quality, brand name equipment and "the warranties are outstanding." -Apple Blossom Client 💡 For an easy system that can even be controlled from an app: "My husband is so excited with the fact that he can control the lighting from anywhere, on his phone" -Apple Blossom Client And why choose Apple Blossom to design and install your system? “We have been using ABLC for years now. Their great reputation, their responsiveness, the installation, quality materials and training made it easy for us to use them for our landscape lighting also." -Apple Blossom Client Enjoy resort quality, maintenance free outdoor LED landscape lighting this season and for years to come.
