Maintaining and caring for your plants is the best way to ensure that your new landscape remains healthy and vibrant. In general, there are a few things that are a good rule of thumb for all plants. See below for our tips and tricks to maintaining healthy plants.
Keep your plants healthy and lush. Contact us for additional information or plant care instructions.
These biodegradable mats, also referred to as erosion-control nets and erosion-control blankets, hold the soil in place until plantings are established and slowly become part of the soil as they degrade.
New grass/plants will grow directly through the blanket covering. Leave the straw on top of the new seeds, it will decompose over time. It will continue to hold everything in its place and lock in moisture to the new plantings. Could take up to 12 months to fully decompose.
If the netting starts to come loose or raised up in areas, cut away with a knife so that it does not become tangled in the mower blade.
There is no reason to remove the netting before it disintegrates, but if for some reason you absolutely must there are a few things to keep in mind. If you take it up too soon, you risk pulling up the new, fresh, soft roots, and if you wait too long, the netting will have already broken down to the point that it shreds into millions of pieces and won’t come up in one full swoop. Once you can mow the grass once or twice, which is probably about seven to eight weeks after seeding, that’s probably the best time to try to remove the netting – if you absolutely must.
They did an amazing job! I could not be happier with the team out here every single day working hard, being very meticulous on the boulder walls. I now have a functional hill I can actually use for many, many years.
Josh | Maple Lake, MNIf you want your landscape project done right, hire JK Landscape! The crew exceeded our expectations in every phase of our project which included a total makeover on a new build lake shore site. Challenging aspects of the project included boulder retaining walls around the house and a steep lakeside hill. The fire pit and paver decking are also signature parts of the project. We couldn’t be happier with our landscaping project with JK Landscape.
Dwight G.JK Landscape recently built a deck for us. Great communication, great quality work. Very organized, clean, efficient and professional. Jerry was great and very attentive to any questions we had throughout the process. We have more outdoor projects in our future, and we will definitely be using JK for those projects
Ryan DJerry and crew were great to work with and would followup in a timely manner to make sure we were completely satisfied with their work. We would highly recommend them for your landscape needs.
Mike G.JK Landscape did a great job on our shoreline. They also took care of the permitting. The crew cleaned up the area at the end of each day and left the path to the shoreline better than it was before. They went above and beyond in completing the project. I would recommend JK in a heartbeat.
Charles B.Amy & I wanted to thank you and your team for all the hard work that was put into our lakeshore and patio project. I cant imagine having selected any other company as you and your team were always working to exceed our expectations of this project. From the start to current you have had ideas we may never thought about but you made this come to life. We are amazed at the craftsmanship and particular fashion JK Landscape goes above and beyond to create a awesome look for many years of enjoyment to come. I appreciate you and your teams efforts to create a seamless turnkey project that turned out more beautiful then we could have imagined. I want to thank all that worked on this project and we will miss seeing them on a regular basis as your team has put there hearts in their art. Once again awesome job and I would recommend JK Landscape to anyone who wanted a top class experience.
Amy & Jeff B.The JK Landscape crew did a great job on our patio. We are so excited to enjoy our beautiful lakeside living space! Thanks, JK Landscape Construction!
Vicki G.I highly recommend Jerry Konz and his team from JK Landscape.
If you're looking for people that know their business and have the expertise to advise you in your particular situation and build a beautiful, long lasting lakeshore restoration and/or landscaped area, consider this company.
Jerry and his team were on the ball from the beginning and went above and beyond to attend to details and communicate with us throughout the process.
We appreciated their knowledge, lengthy experience and Jerry’s effective yet low-key salesmanship skills and expert advice. The men who handled the installation were on time, personable and demonstrated long learned skills to excavate our steep hillside, install drain tile for an unexpected spring discovery, build a two tier deck with boulder slab steps and finish off with Riprap shoreline to eliminate the erosion issue we had for years. Shoreline and hill water runoff will not continue to be a problem.
They were respectful, successful team members who know how to get the job done right, leading to their high ratings.
My husband and I are both extremely pleased with the outcome and time frame to get this project complete. Yes, I would highly recommend Jerry Konz and his team from JK Landscape.
Our renovated lakeshore is gorgeous!
The guys at JK Landscape did a great job with our landscaping project around our pool. They were very timely and professional. They were great about being able to work around a tough schedule with other trades coming in and out during our build. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing landscaping done!
Ashley A.Top notch work by JK Landscape putting in a beautiful patio at the Wright County Swappers Meet. Would recommend their work to others any day!

BerniceEverything turned out GREAT! We were amazed at how fast they worked. Their crew was very respectful and did an excellent job cleaning up as well.
Rachel DJK Landscape was prompt and thorough from start to finish. My wife and I were back and forth a little on deciding exactly what we wanted for our backyard patio. JK Landscape was there to answer all the questions we had throughout the entire project.

Peter S.We are grateful for JK Landscape for taking on our "ugly" project. We appreciate all you did on our behalf to finish this project on so many levels, including working with the county and townships. The end result is a much more attractive, functional driveway, patio and garden bed. The retaining wall looks great.
Brian & Charise SchutzWe recently had a deck added on by JK. Jerry was great to work with. He is very accommodating and easy to work with. I communicated with the office staff many times as well. They were always very polite and responded to my questions or concerns quickly. The crew that came out was very fast and efficient. They did an excellent job of cleaning up the area. You would never have known they were here. We have more outdoor projects to do down the road, and we would love to utilize JK Landscape for those as well.
RachelJerry and his team did a great job designing and building our new outdoor space. We will enjoy it for many years to come.
