Tips and Tales from the GreenSpace Team

Gardeners, by nature (pun intended) are observant people. We revel in the beauty and diversity of the plants that grow in our climate.

One plant that literally pops up—growing in sidewalk cracks and the seams in retaining walls—is Columbine.

A garden site is often prepped by having sod removed and surfaces leveled. Our first activity is to spread a layer of compost on the soil’s surface to enrich the existing soil.

Occasionally, we encounter potted plants that have dense, tangled roots that have outgrown their container. Because the compacted roots prevent the plant from absorbing water, oxygen, and nutrients—and growing successfully—we take time to loosen the roots.

It’s likely you’ve noticed two very different styles of mulch applied at the base of trees. We compare Geology (The Volcano) vs. Pastry (The Donut).

GreenSpace installed this concrete patio as part of a backyard renovation, creating a space where our clients can relax and enjoy their outdoor space.

Fecundity is the capacity to reproduce.  This year, our trees are producing an abundance of seeds.
