Customer Care
Supporting You Every Step of the Way
Looking for expert landscape installation or reliable landscape care and restoration services? Mesquite Landscaping delivers top-rated customer care throughout the eastern Phoenix area. Whether you’re looking to add a few new trees or revamp your entire landscape, we’re here to help.
Creating a Landscape You Will Love Way
Instead of typical design software, Mesquite Landscaping utilizes advanced 3D technology to bring your landscape vision to life before installation begins. This lets you see and adjust every design detail, ensuring it meets your needs and preferences.
Our 3D visualization tool provides accurate shadows at different times of the year, making it easy to design beautiful and functional landscapes throughout the day. For example, we can strategically position a shade tree to ensure it provides the perfect cover while entertaining or cooking outdoors.
We’re also happy to suggest plants that complement your existing landscape or create a new design tailored to your tastes. Our professional team can enhance your irrigation system and incorporate features like shade structures, walkways, and even an outdoor kitchen.
Lawn Care Following New Installation
New Lawn Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations on your new lawn! Proper care in the early stages is essential for a healthy, vibrant landscape. Please follow these guidelines to ensure your lawn establishes well:
Irrigation Programming
Mesquite Landscaping will program your existing irrigation controller, provided by your homebuilder, with initial settings for the first week of watering. It’s important for you to understand how to control your watering system to maintain a successful landscape.
When to Water and Mow
Proper watering is crucial to establishing a healthy new lawn. During the first two weeks after installation, your lawn will need to be watered three times a day, or more if necessary, to prevent it from drying out. Each session should last 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the season and the specific conditions of your property.
Watering Schedule After Installation:
• First Two Weeks: Water three times daily — early morning, around noon, and late afternoon.
• After Two Weeks: Reduce watering to twice daily, in the morning and evening.
• After Another Week to 10 Days: Cut back to once a day in the early morning. Adjust your irrigation controller as needed to suit your yard.
Keep in mind that factors such as soil type (clay, loamy, or rocky), shading from trees and structures, and the orientation of your home can affect how much water your lawn requires. It’s essential to tailor your watering schedule to your lawn’s specific needs. Additionally, be sure to adjust your irrigation controller seasonally, as a watering schedule suited for summer may not be appropriate for winter conditions.
Important Notes About Your New Lawn:
While your new lawn is getting established, it requires frequent watering, which can lead to saturation in the adjacent gravel areas. During this time, avoid walking on the gravel near the lawn, as the excess water may cause the rock to sink into the dirt. Once the rock gets pushed down, it can be challenging to remove, and the area may appear as if it doesn’t have enough gravel. It’s best to wait until the watering schedule has been reduced and the ground has firmed up before walking on these sections.
Also, avoid walking on the new lawn itself during the establishment phase. If you step on areas where we have trenched, the ground may sink significantly, making it difficult to level until the soil firms up after watering is cut back.
Mowing Your New Lawn:
Your new lawn will be ready for its first mowing about one month after installation. After that, regular mowing is key to keeping your lawn healthy. Avoid letting the grass grow too tall between mowings, and use a trimmer or edger around sprinkler heads to ensure even watering coverage. Generally, lawns should be mowed and edged weekly for the best results.
New Plants and Tree Care
At Mesquite Landscaping, we provide a wide range of planting options, from cacti and succulents to shrubs, ground covers, and trees. Whether you’re looking for shade trees, desert natives, or decorative entries, we offer plants and trees suited for every type of landscape. We encourage homeowners to familiarize themselves with the vegetation being planted to ensure they’re comfortable with the care and maintenance each type requires. Our experts can advise on the appropriate size and placement of trees and plants, ensuring that locations are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
For the first few weeks, water new trees and plants daily to help them establish. After this period, adjust the watering schedule based on the plant’s maturity, the season, and local conditions.
Important Note: Avoid setting your irrigation controller to water every day longterm. Overwatering can harm your plants, and failure to adjust the schedule may result in vegetation loss, which is not covered under warranty.
Ongoing Maintenance
Once the initial 30-day establishment period is over, weekly mowing and edging are recommended to achieve a lush, full lawn.
If you have any questions about caring for your new landscape or need further advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
