Investing in a new landscape is exciting—but the work doesn’t stop after installation. At Blue Sky Landscape & Design, we believe proper aftercare is just as important as the design and build. For Goodyear homeowners, where summer temps soar and monsoons roll in, knowing how to care for your new plants, turf, and hardscapes makes all the difference.
Here’s what to expect after a professional landscape installation in Goodyear, AZ, including watering guidelines, warranty coverage, and tune-up options to keep your yard thriving.
Post-Installation Watering Guidelines
Arizona’s desert climate demands smart, consistent watering—especially for newly planted landscapes. Here’s how to care for your investment in those critical first weeks:
For Plants and Trees
- Weeks 1–2: Water every 1–2 days, early in the morning or after sunset.
- Weeks 3–6: Shift to every 2–3 days as roots begin to establish.
- After 6 Weeks: Water deeply 1–2 times a week, depending on plant type and season.
We install drip irrigation systems designed to conserve water while delivering moisture where it’s needed most. During your final walkthrough, we’ll show you exactly how your timer works and provide a printed watering schedule.
For Sod or Synthetic Turf
- Fresh Sod: Needs frequent watering (3–5 times daily) for the first week, then gradually reduced.
- Synthetic Turf: No watering required, but we recommend occasional rinsing to keep it clean and cool.
For New Hardscapes
Pavers, concrete, and stone features don’t need watering, but avoid heavy foot traffic or furniture placement for 24–48 hours after installation to allow joint sand or sealants to settle.
Your Landscape Installation Warranty
We stand by our work with a limited workmanship and plant warranty designed to give you peace of mind:
- Hardscape Warranty: Covers settling, loose pavers, or structural issues for up to 2 years.
- Plant Warranty: We replace most shrubs, trees, and plants that fail within 90 days—provided proper watering was followed.
- Irrigation Warranty: Covers system components for 1 year from installation.
Our team will walk you through warranty details during your final project walkthrough, and you’ll receive a written copy with tips for protecting your coverage.
Seasonal Tune-Ups & Landscape Maintenance
Even the best-designed landscape needs some TLC throughout the year. That’s why we offer seasonal tune-ups and ongoing maintenance packages for Goodyear clients.
Tune-Up Services Include:
- Irrigation timer adjustments for spring, summer, and winter
- System checks for leaks, clogged emitters, or broken sprinkler heads
- Light trimming and plant health assessments
- Paver re-sanding or resealing (as needed)
Routine check-ins help extend the life of your landscape and protect your investment from the elements—especially through Goodyear’s intense summers and monsoon season.
