You've selected the perfect plants for your yard. Now what? The most important part of keeping plants healthy is getting each one into the ground properly. If you need some help, here are a few reasons to consider using Garden World's Planting Services:

• Will you be able to maneuver the plant by yourself? Will you need additional help, or even a piece of equipment to move and place the plant?
• Holes need to be dug 1 1/2 to 2 times the size of the root system, and properly back filled. Are you able to dig the size of the hole needed?
• Do you have clay soil that will need to be amended with Compost, potting soil, or mulch?
• Is the location you selected free of large roots and rocks?
• Are you aware of the cultural requirements for the plants you've selected? (i.e.: light requirements, soil preferences, water needs, staking and pruning techniques, pest and disease prevention)
• Do know the correct time of year and type of fertilizer to use?
• Do you have a maintenance company or landscape service that will help to maintain the health of your plants for years to come?
• Do you have other landscape dilemmas that you would like to discuss with a professional while he/she is at your home?
