The Importance of Arbor Care and Tree Care in Thousand Oaks

Arbor care in Fresno

Trees are one of the most noticeable parts of the landscape on your property. They mean a lot to the whole scenery as they provide a welcoming environment for your territory which can help in attracting customers. Obviously, it is very important to take care of them, that’s why you are supposed to pay attention to the following information about arbor care and tree care in Thousand Oaks and Ventura County.

Watering

As you are aware, trees need a huge amount of water. This may cost you a fair bit of money.

However, there are some ways to save your money on plants watering:

  • A timely irrigation audits of your property – there are always some problems with equipment or irrigation system that needs to be fixed. Making sure the irrigation technicians report and repair all leaks in an efficient way – the more time passes with faulty equipment being used, the more money is being wasted.
  • Replacing turf with artificial grass whenever is possible – a big part of total amount of water is often used for a lawn.
  • Pairing smart controllers – smart controllers that have a remote access and when paired with a weather station can save property owner’s money from not watering on rainy or overcast days.
  • Replacing worn or broken emitters – you will need to make sure that all of them are uniform throughout zones.

Emmiters

Also, utilizing emitters has its own features. Firstly, there are many types of emitters but the flag drip, also known as a non-pressure compensating emitter, is among the best ones. Non-pressure compensating generally means that you shouldn’t use it on a slope of say five meters or more. No slope? Save your money and buy non-pressure compensating emitters such as flag drippers, pressure compensating ones cost more.

Furthermore, other than the price tag there is no real downside to using pressure compensating. Drip irrigation is suitable for most soils. On clay soils water must be applied slowly to avoid surface water ponding and runoff. On sandy soils higher emitter discharge rates will be needed to ensure adequate lateral wetting of the soil.

Back to flag drippers. They consist of two main parts: the body and the little flag on the top which is used to disassemble the whole thing so you can clean it out from the blockage. That may happen if there are a lot of minerals in the water. Despite their resemblance of little inline valves, turning the flag does not regulate water flow. Moreover, the flags are often color-coded depending on gallons per hour which is roughly four liters to one. Usually, black color of the flag stands for one gallon, green for two and red one for four. Flag droppers are perfect for low-pressure systems where other emitters may not work so well. Installing them are really easy and you don’t need to know anything special. Just pierce a mainline and stick a flag dripper afterwards.

As you may know the more details are in your property, the more attractive it looks, and, as mentioned earlier, replacing a lawn by an artificial grass is a money saving idea. Thus, to enhance the appeal of your territory you also add rocks and cacti. This will fill the landscape. Furthermore, there are several types of drought-tolerant plants and ground covers that can soften the landscape.

Plants

If talking about plant solutions, here are some of the best:

  • Texas Rangers – bushes with white or purple flowers, also known as Texas Sage. It has one of the most amazing display of blooms of all summer flowering plants. The lavender flowers cover the entire bush for weeks at a time. Many people don’t notice the bush as a standout until the summer comes. The light grayish green leaves serve as a nice background hedge. Drought tolerance, attracting pollinators, and tolerance for alkalinity are other advantages of this marvelous shrub. Also, it can grow up to eight feet tall and eight feet wide. In fact, because the showy purple flower displays coincides with high humidity, Texas Rangers are sometimes nicknamed barometer plant.
    Watering Advice: Regular water is best, but this shrub can tolerate almost no additional water once established.
  • Rosemary – otherwise known as “Wonder-herb”; it has many uses from adding flavor to cooking and fragrance to perfumes to decorating sunny garden borders. Rosemary is a fragrant, evergreen shrub with needle-like leaves and two-pronged purple-blue and white flowers. The new growth is soft and flexible but the old stems eventually become woody and form trunks with time. In fact, Rosemary used to be a symbol for memory for hundreds of years. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Ophelia says: “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance”.

Choosing trees will as well help to increase attractiveness. There are many types of ornamental trees:

  • Mesquite trees – are short, thorny shrub-like trees with feathery leaves, white or yellow flowers, and seed pods containing peas. Mesquite trees usually grow in shrubs in Texas, Arizona and other states in the southern United States. However, in many states, mesquite trees can be a hindrance to landowners. Tough shrubby trees have extensive root systems that extend up to 200 feet.
    Red push Pistache trees – in autumn have a lovely display of red, orange and yellow colors. It has proven to be drought-tolerant and pest resistance. It rarely bears fruit and remains relatively small and compact.
  • Olive trees – there hundreds of types of olive trees, however, one of the best for landscape, especially for a small space, is a dwarf olive tree. They are regular olive trees, except that these are grafted onto smaller tree rootstock. That means that you can get afford a dwarf olive tree for your landscape where it is hard to accommodate a full-size olive tree.

All in all, if you want to add any modifications on your property, these clauses above are what you should consider.
