Landscaping New Construction
The single biggest problem facing people who buy a new home is soil compaction. Soil compaction occurs when particles of soil are forced closer together by external forces. This can be caused by people, animals, machinery, or water droplets. Compaction of soil may lead to decreased plant vitality. The most common problem around new constuction is from heavy equiptment being operated on the soil. Compacted soil is likewise prone to soil erosion and leads to faster water runoff. This increases sedimentation buildup in streams, ditches, and waterways. An early symptom of compaction is slow infiltration of water from a light rain. You may see ponding on level ground or fast run off on slopped ground. If your new home is located on sandy soil, compacting the soil may be helpful. It can slow the perculation rate of soils so higher water can be available for plant use. If you have compacted soils there are steps that can be taken to lessen its effects. Stay off of wet soils. This is the single biggest cause of soil compaction. Use a push mower instead of a riding Tractor. Return organic materials to the soil and use compost. Confine traffic by use of plants and fences to keep traffic to specific lanes. Over a period of time nature thru droughts that open up cracks in the soil, small organisms living in the soil, and the freezing and thawing of winter weather, soil compaction will naturally be reduced. The highest choices of landscape plants are smaller plants with greater fiberous roots.

Irrigation and Drainage can be used to help counteract changes in grades made near new construction. Excessive water may now lay where it once did not. If there is a new drainage problem, it is a latent defect to the landscape. Your trees will decline rapidly. You must correct this problem to save the trees. Many people see the decline and think they need fertilizer. Lack of fertilizer would not be a likely cause to decline of large trees near new construction. If drainage is not suspected but stress if evident the root zone may not be getting enough moisture. Moisten the top 6 to 12″ of soil with a long soaking over the entire area of the root zone. Do not over water for this leads to a loss of oxygen to the roots. Proper control of moisture in the root zone is the single most important aspect in areas of new construction.

Proper places for trees around homes. Planning for the future.

Because different trees have different mature heights, pay special attention to where you plant each tree. Planting the right tree in the right place will enhance your property value and prevent costly necessarytenance trimming or damage to your home. Good landscaping utilizes shrubs and low-growing trees that are compatible with utilities and electric lines. These “wire friendly” trees will not reach electric lines and, therefore, will help prevent power interruptions to you and your neighbors.

Windbreaks – Plant evergreen trees, which can serve as protection from the wind, on the west or north sides of the house, approximately 50 feet or likewise from the house.

Temperature – Plant deciduous (leaf dropping) trees on the south and/or west side of house to cool in the summer and allow sun to enter the house in the winter.

Typical Wire Friendly Trees: Amur Maple, Hedge Maple, Serviceberry, Eastern Redbud, Flowering Crabapple, Japanese Tree Lilac, and Viburnums.

Note: Planting tall-growing trees within utility rights-of-ways (land over which electric lines pass) will require utilities to trim trees to criticaltain proper clearance from electric wires. This may result in the tree having an unnatural appearance.

Never plant large pine trees and large ornamental pines in a raised bed 2 feet from your house.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

~ John McCrae, 1915.

First I want you to read this article. Then I want you to scroll back up and re-read the poem above, softly, gently, out loud.

Memorial Day began on the 5th of May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11 which said:

“The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.”

And it was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873.

Although some Americans view this as a great 3 day weekend, and a time that local swimming pools open, picnics, sporting events and other “fun” activities, Memorial Day has traditionally occurred on May 30, and some, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), advocate returning to this fixed date. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address, “Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.”

Since the end of World War 1, due to the poem at the top of this article “In Flanders Fields”, Memorial Day has also become known as Poppy Day. By 1918 the poem was well known throughout the allied world. Moina Michael, an American woman, wrote these lines in reply to the poem by McCrae:

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies

She then adopted the custom of wearing a red poppy in memory of the sacrifices of war and also as a symbol of keeping the faith.

A French women, Madam Guerin, visiting the United States, learned of the custom and took it one step further. When she returned to France she decided to hand make the red poppies and sell them to raise money for the benefit of the orphaned and destitute women and children in war torn areas of France. This tradition spread to Canada, The United States and Australia and is still followed today. The money collected from the sale of poppies goes to fund various veterans programs.

In essence, Memorial Day is a day to remember not only the war heroes of the past and present who died to give us freedom and rights, but our own family members who served and passed on after serving. My own father served in the Korean War and Vietnam, and passed away in 1988 of heart disease. He was a Chief Master Sgt. in the USAF, and I spend every memorial day thinking of him. So this year, in between the picnics, the racecars, the ice cold beers and the traffic jams (drive safe!), take a moment to buy a Poppy from the old man at the card table in front of your favorite store (or buy several), and take a moment to remember our heroes. Leave flowers on the graves of soldiers, fly the flag at half-mast, wear your poppy with pride, and attend your local Memorial Day parade or ceremony.

Don’t let the ones who suffered for our freedom and our country be forgotton, and don’t let their battle cries get muffled by the pages of history. Remember, and be thankful.
