What are the main flower types?

• <div><p>While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:</p><ul><li><p><b>Annuals</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. </p></li><li><p><b>Perennials</b>, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. </p></li><li><p><b>Biennials</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.</p></li><li><p><b>Hybrids</b>, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location</p></li><li><p><b>Flowering shrubs</b>, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What if I can’t plant my branch right away?

• <div><p>Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.</p></div>

Q: What is the best month to plant trees?

• <div><p>Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn&rsquo;t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.</p></div>

Q: Can hedges be trimmed into other shapes?

• <div><p>Hedges can be trimmed in many other shapes than the standard square shape. They can be cut into spiral, cone, and sphere shapes. However, cutting and maintaining these types of shapes is much more challenging. There are metal frames that you can purchase to place around the hedge to make it much easier.</p></div>

Q: What is a good landscaping budget?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">cost of landscaping</a> is around <b>$3,500</b>, so you can start there if you&rsquo;re looking to revamp your outdoor space. If you just want softscaping like mulch, flowers, and shrubs, you could get the jobs done yourself and spend just a few hundred dollars on materials. On the other hand, you might want to budget <b>$14,000</b> or more if you&rsquo;re looking for hardscaping, like pergolas, patios, walkways, and more, in addition to plants and mulch.</p></div>

Our backyard was graded wrong so Stork Landscaping dug us out and the retaining walls re-shifted the way the water flows, so it would flow around the house and not in the house, dug out the patio and pour new concrete. They didn’t have to do this but they did – we have part of the back end of...

They let the lawn grow too high; refuse to mow areas of lawn; turned on irrigation system, but failed to "winterize" it so that it was destroyed when the pipes froze in winter. Never removed a weed from landscaped beds.
