Landscape Maintenance of your Park Model
LANDSCAPING
Chemainus Garden Holiday Resort is responsible for maintenance of landscaping around your Park Model. We use best practices in ensuring a quality environment for you.
Frequent watering of the grass is essential during the first few weeks after an area has been sodded or seeded. Once the grass is established, weekly watering is adequate. This will promote a deep root system that will result in a healthier, more drought resistant lawn. We will be fertilizing and controlling weeds will promote a healthy lawn.
Some minor settlement will occur over some areas of new lawns or landscaping. These areas should be filled and re-seeded to maintain a level surface.
We encourage you to plant flower beds and plants to enhance our landscaping. When installing flowerbeds, be careful not to interfere with the drainage system. Ensure that flowerbeds are graded away from the foundation wall and that a minimum clearance of eight inches is maintained between the ground level and the bottom of the exterior wall cladding. Never allow soil or gravel to come in contact with untreated wood materials
Newly planted trees or shrubs require a shallow depression around their base. The depression should be worked periodically to loosen the soil to allow air and water to penetrate to the root system. Once the plant is established (approximately two years), the depression can be filled in; however, never raise the soil above the level of the base of the trunk as this will kill the tree.
