Annual Color Plantings Make a Strong Impression All Year
Plantings of seasonal and annual color by Gachina Landscape Management convey a positive first impression and keep your commercial property looking fresh year-round. For winter, imagine winding beds of showy Iceland poppies, scarlet and pink Snapdragons, and gold and orange Calendula, accented with snow-white Alyssum. When strategically placed as borders along walkways, in planters near sitting areas, or to frame the entrance of a commercial or retail building, Gachina’s seasonal color plantings get noticed. Even in California’s mild climate, annual color doesn’t last year round. We replace plant material with selections that thrive during particular times of the year. It’s also important to choose plants based on other factors, including soil type – clay, sandy or rocky – and sunlight and shade conditions that change season to season. Gachina’s professionals handle every detail, including designing the landscape, removing old plant material, preparing the ground, fertilizing and applying snail bait, and installing new plants and flowers. Along with creating a striking color scheme, our landscape professionals make expert seasonal flower recommendations that give your outdoor areas texture, height and variety. We also do our best to incorporate your preferences. Gachina Landscape Management also accommodates your budget with clever cost-saving techniques. For example, a landscape design that incorporates perennials such as Salvia or Lillies won’t require extensive replanting several times a year.Benefits of Planning Ahead for Plantings of Seasonal Color
Gachina clients who plan ahead have early access to a wide selection of flowers, so they get the seasonal color they want, on a timely basis. Advance planning also enables us to ensure seasonal flowers flourish by planting at precise times. For spring color, we plant bulbs such as tulips and daffodils in the fall, and bedding plants should be in the ground by early March. July, October, and January are optimal planting times for the rest of the year.Our Annual Color Recommendations for Your Landscape
