2. Prepare the Soil

Ensure well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging. Incorporate organic matter like compost to improve soil structure and water retention.

3. Plant in Cooler Seasons

The best time for planting in Oxford is typically during the cooler months, like fall and early spring. This allows plants to establish roots before the heat of summer.

4. Water in the morning

Watering in the morning reduces evaporation losses and allows plants to dry during the day, minimizing the risk of fungal diseases.

5. Adjust Based on Weather

Be mindful of the weather conditions. During periods of rain, adjust your watering schedule to avoid overwatering. In hot, dry spells, plants may need more frequent watering.

6. Considering Drip Irrigation

Drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to the root zone, minimizing water wastage through evaporation. Contact us to discuss our landscaping and irrigation services.
