Introduction

It’s true—conifers are easy-to-grow plants that add color, life, and texture to your home’s landscaping. But where do you start? This blog post will cover all of that and more. Let’s get growing!

Find the right conifer for your space.

The first step to landscaping with conifers is finding the right conifer for your space. Conifers are easy to grow and adaptable to different environments, so they’re a good choice for those who want a low-maintenance landscape.

Conifers can be used to create privacy or block out noise on busy streets, or they can be used alone in small spaces to create a windbreak. You might also consider mixing some deciduous trees with your evergreen conifers for added interest and some color throughout the year.

Choose a place where the conifer will get plenty of sun.

As you know, conifers need plenty of light. They can be damaged by too much or too little sun. They can also be damaged by high winds that whip up the needles and create brown spots on their trunks. To avoid this, choose a space where the conifer will get full sun all day long.

Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the root ball; loosen the dirt at bottom.

After you’ve dug your hole, dig out some of the soil from the bottom of it. This will create a little bit more room for your conifer to grow in and give it some extra depth.

Make sure not to plant your conifer too deep in the ground. If you do, it will be harder for them to get water and nutrients when they need them most! If you’re planting a large tree or group of trees, make sure to leave at least 2 feet between each tree so they have enough space to grow without crowding each other out over time.

When considering where on your property would be suitable places for these trees go ahead and think about things like sunlight exposure (not having shade all day), moisture level (moisture-rich soil) and drainage (good drainage away from standing water).

Gently remove your conifer from its container and place it in the hole.

• Gently remove your conifer from its container and place it in the hole.
• Make sure the plant is straight and stable before putting any dirt back in around it.
• Fill in around your new tree with soil, mulch or gravel to keep rainwater away from its roots and protect them from erosion when watering later on, if necessary

Fill in with soil and pat down firmly.

Now that you have your conifer secured, it is time to fill in the remaining space around it. When filling in soil around your conifer, make sure that the root ball is level with the ground and packed firmly into place. Make sure that there are no gaps or holes between the soil and root ball—this will allow for proper drainage and air flow. The soil should also be moist but not wet or too dry; if it is too wet, then water will drain out of the bottom of your container (a common mistake when planting trees). If it is too dry, this can cause roots to die off due to lack of oxygen inside them (another common issue with plants).

In order to ensure proper watering once planted outdoors during winter months, make sure you keep a consistent schedule of watering throughout springtime until late fall/early winter—when temperatures drop below freezing at night (or during daytime hours if temperatures are consistently cold enough overnight).

Water the conifer well and keep it moist until established.

Watering frequency depends on soil type, size of the conifer, climate and season. For example, in a sandy soil that drains well, you can water your conifer weekly during the summer months to help it grow. In a clay soil that holds moisture for longer periods of time, once every two weeks should be enough to keep the plant happy.

In climates with hot summers and dry winters (like Southern California), it’s important to water more frequently throughout the year so your trees won’t get too thirsty while they are dormant in wintertime.

Conifers are easy to grow when given proper care and attention.

Conifers are a great choice for any garden because they’re easy to grow and look great.

• Conifers make excellent additions to small gardens because they don’t require much space.
• Conifers are also good for large gardens, as they can grow tall and wide, filling up a lot of space with their beautiful evergreens.
• If you have a shady area that needs some attention, conifers will do just fine. They love the shade!

And if your sunny spot is looking pretty bare and boring, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be covered in gorgeous coniferous foliage!
