5 Landscaping Tips – Why Home Insurance Is Part of Landscaping Maintenance

10/11/2021

Landscaping costs a fortune. There's a professional to help you with maintenance. But a smart homeowner like you should know time-saving tricks. More so, efficient techniques preserve your investment. It's also wise to include your landscaping with your home insurance. It protects your lawn from the inevitable. Here are some time-tested tips for living by.
Always Keep Soil Healthy
Healthy soil will grow healthy plants. Good soil will reduce runoffs, absorb water. Then, it will remove excess pollutants, sediments, and nutrients. Have the soil professional tested first before planting. 

Use a lawn aerator to aerate your soil. Then, add mulch to control evaporation rates. Prevent weed growth and soil erosion. It will help you save water. 

Use Low Water Native Plants
Native plants requiring minimal water will grow easier. They also resist pests, exotic plant diseases, and other regional plant problems. Get to know ground and soil conditions. Then select appropriate plants, trees, and shrubs.

Place similar plants in the same area. It protects them from overwatering or underwatering. Turf and shrub sections should be segregated into hydro zones. As these have different watering needs. 

Employ Smart Watering Techniques
Water your lawn only when needed. Plant drought-tolerant grass and plants so these won't turn brown or whither. Use an automatic sprinkler system. Time is according to your current weather conditions. The number of garden sprinklers depends on the size of your yard.

Adjust the lawn mower height to an inch or higher. Longer grasses will improve root growth and reduce water evaporation. If you have turf grass, refer to the turfgrass species on the recommended moving range height. 

Remove Weeds Right Away
Weeds compete with healthy plants when it comes to water and nutrients. So make a habit of checking your garden for any weed growth and remove these right away. It's better to regularly remove weeds than to deal with an infestation. That may affect your entire lawn down the line. 

Consult Your Home Insurance for Landscaping Coverage
Expensive landscaping should be protected by home insurance. With extra coverage for landscaping, fencing, and gardening equipment, you should go. This coverage will protect your lawn, shrubs, trees, and your equipment and tools. 

Ask your home insurance provider about adding landscaping with your current home insurance coverage. Ask what's covered and what's not and what to expect. It should be a part of your home exterior renovation plans to protect your investment.
