What is landscaping?

What is pruning?

Pruning is cutting or trimming the branches of trees or shrubs so that they have a proper development within the environment where they are located, are safe, or simply for aesthetics.

Topiary, in gardening, is a purging technique, used to achieve artificial shapes in trees or shrubs. Well executed and repeated with the appropriate frequency can increase the ornamental value of these.

The tree or shrub is a living being that has time on its side. But we need to obtain its best qualities as soon as possible and with periodic and adequate pruning we achieve it.

However, pruning is often done inadequately, causing rotting of the wood that decreases the life of the trees and increases the risk of branch breakage. On the other hand, a too radical pruning of the tree or shrub can compromise its survival.

Jardineria Monés offers you an arboriculture service for any type of pruning. Ask about our tree pruning service.

Why do I need to prune my yard?

Trees and shrubs in the garden are pruned to make them healthy, safe and more aesthetic. A well-done pruning favors the proper distribution of the branches, so as to ensure that the sunlight also reaches the inside of the plant and that it grows in a harmonious way and flowers better.

We can distinguish what pruning is for depending on what type of tree or shrub we have. The fruit trees give fruit, so it will be accessible. From woody trees we can obtain straighter woods and with less ramifications, and therefore, obtain a higher quality wood. Ornamental trees must be pruned to achieve the desired aesthetic objective.

Consult with our tree pruning experts.

Why is it so important to have an irrigation system?

It is very important to have a proper irrigation system because water is the essence of garden life, it is a scarce but necessary and costly commodity. Therefore, it is important to have an irrigation system that regulates and controls the water supply more suitable to the water needs of the plants in the garden.

We can study your case to determine which type of irrigation is the most appropriate, is it drip irrigation or sprinkler irrigation.

Which irrigation system is best?

The irrigation system depends mainly on the type of vegetation you have in your garden and the location and orientation in which the different species of plants have been arranged, since not all plant species have the same water requirements.

There are basically three types of irrigation systems: sprinkler irrigation, diffusion irrigation and drip irrigation.

Hence the importance of making a project with criteria and harmony.

In lawn areas it is better to use sprinkler irrigation, and as far as drip irrigation is concerned, we can use it to irrigate trees, shrubs and bushes of plants.

Is it important to maintain my pool or pond?

It is very important to care for and maintain your pool regularly, because if the water used for your pool is not well cared for and treated, it will turn green and the pool walls will become slippery. Consequently, the economic cost of maintaining a pool can be much higher.

In ponds we have to be careful with the choice of plants, surrounding trees, as they will be the main responsible for the wellbeing of your water and its habitat.

What are the common maintenance checks for a swimming pool?

The most common controls to be carried out in the maintenance of swimming pools are the following:

  • Regulation of the PH of the water.
  • Disinfecting the water.
  • Preventing algae.
  • Filter cleaning.

However, each pool may have more specific problems that are out of these guidelines, which have to be intervened quickly. Jardineria Monés offers you a complete service for the care of your pool.

What is the best type of grass for my garden?

There are many types of grass that can be planted and that will influence the location and layout, in Jardineria Monés we invite you to ask us for more detailed and specific advice for your garden, we will make you an estimate without obligation.

There is no one lawn better than another, if not one more suitable than another for your garden.

It is also necessary to evaluate the possibility of placing artificial grass, recommended in some cases.

What can I do about weeds?

To solve a weed problem, we have two options. The first, and more advisable, is the manual selection and extraction, it is a tedious work and sometimes impossible if we do not have time or the plague of weeds is too big.

As a second option, we can prefer to use chemical products that kill these weeds, the so-called herbicides, which are applied on the weeds causing them to die down to their roots.

For the use of herbicides, it is important to have the proper training and regulated in compliance with the laws of application of phytosanitary products with the correct application of each product, as it could affect plants, vegetation, fauna of our garden.

Do not hesitate to contact us, we will study your case in detail.

What is the best type of plants and flowers for my garden?

We cannot say concretely what is the best type of plants or flowers that can be in the garden if we do not know how and where the garden is located.

Each one of our gardens responds concretely to each one of our clients in their tastes, preferences and in the best efficiency for its location in the environment. That is why each of our gardens are unique and unrepeatable.

But from here we can give you a couple of examples or more concrete advice.

In relatively humid gardens we could use bamboos to separate different areas or place them in a way that they give an exotic and majestic touch in certain areas of your garden.

Regarding flowers, one of the families of great beauty and that harmonize in different natural spaces are orchids. Orchid care is difficult if you do not have some experience and time. But we recommend that you start with orchids of the Cymbidium type, much more resistant, being able to place them next to bamboos to give a touch of color in a very harmonious way and at the same time of great beauty.
