Hire Us To Be Your Private Garden Planner

A Koch & Associates garden planner has the expertise to help your special plot of land bloom and grow, year after year.

Homeowners often hope to save money by planting their garden themselves. While there are many competent DIY gardeners in the Bay Area, a novice may make mistakes that can make gardening more of a chore than a relaxing pastime.

With the help of an experienced garden planner, you avoid mistakes such as over-planting or poor watering techniques. Creating the lush, colorful garden you have always envisioned for yourself is simply a matter of following the plan.

HOW A GARDEN PLANNER BENEFITS YOU

A garden planner ensures the success of your garden by mapping out an overall strategy for planting and upkeep. The strategy includes elements such as:

• Calculating space requirements. Before planting your garden, it’s important to decide what you wish to grow and how much space you will need. You may want to set aside more space for a vegetable garden than a flower garden.
• Locating the garden on your property. Sun and shade exposure and soil quality affects the way plants grow. A good garden planner tests the soil to choose plants that will thrive in a particular location. Factors such as drainage and the damage nearby wildlife may inflict on plants are also considered.
• Planting for best results. Over-planting or installing plants too close to each other results in plants that are competing for nutrients, light, and water. Proper spacing of plants saves money and promotes faster, more abundant growth and bloom.
• Installing efficient irrigation. A modern, in-ground system eliminates hand watering and ensures each plant gets the right amount of water.

Koch & Associates’ service area includes the communities of Los Gatos, Menlo Park, San Ramon, and Saratoga.
