Your irrigation system is an investment, and it’s important to know how to care for it properly to avoid the need for repairs. If you’re unsure how your system works or think there might be a problem, we’re here to help with any repairs you may need. To keep your irrigation system running smoothly, here are three things to keep in mind:
If you are looking for a way to help the environment and add beautiful, healthy soil to your property, you may want to consider composting. Although this process isn’t for everyone, it can make a world of difference in the quality of soil you use for various projects. Composting can be especially beneficial if you notice you have extremely sandy soil, which is common in our area.
Now that we are well into the spring season, it is important to check your lawn regularly to be sure that it is healthy enough to survive the heat of the upcoming summer and rainy season. These tips can help ensure that your lawn is healthy:
Now that April has arrived, our weather is only going to get warmer and warmer over the next few weeks. As the warmer weather arrives and eventually changes into hot weather, it is important to know the best time to water your lawn for optimal results. We want to help you avoid sitting water, mold, disease, dead grass, and an excessive water bill.
We don’t know about you, but we cannot believe that we have reached December 1st, and the holiday season is upon us. If you celebrate Christmas, do you have a live or fake tree? Some people love the ease of a fake tree and enjoy being able to put the tree up when they like and leave it up for weeks at a time. Others prefer a live tree because of the smell and the nostalgia. There are different types of live trees you can purchase for the season. There are pre-cut trees, and there are trees that you cut down yourself. But, what if you want to keep your tree? You are in luck! You can also purchase a live, potted Christmas tree. These trees have roots attached that are wrapped in burlap to allow you to plant your tree after the holidays are over.
Would you love to improve the appearance of your grass and are debating whether to install sod? Sod can be a beautiful way to enhance the curb appeal of your property. If you are unfamiliar, sod is the top surface of the ground that has a thin layer of soil and grass that is already well established. When sod is placed on your property, it is important to follow specific directions to ensure the grass on the sod continues to grow roots that will attach to the existing soil. Sod can be an expensive investment, so we feel it is important to do everything you can to ensure success.
Spending the summer in Florida is quite a unique experience, especially if you are not originally from the area. Florida is known for the high temperatures, especially during the summer months. It can be very difficult for grass, landscaping, and vegetation to survive during this time. Although we have very heavy rainfall during these months, this type of rain does more harm than good to your property.
One thing that Florida is known for is the unpredictable rainfall we see, especially during the summer months. It may seem like it rains a lot here during this time of year, and while it does, the rain is usually a fast downpour that is over quickly. This type of rain is not helpful to your lawn and other landscaping. The rainwater does not have time to absorb into the ground before it evaporates. The summer sun is extremely strong and quickly dries the rain, leading to dead grass and landscaping. In the fall and spring, there can be long periods without rain. If you are looking to have a beautiful lawn with landscaping, an irrigation system will be beneficial.
If you have a yard, then you know that caring for it can be a full-time job. Between mowing, cleaning up after storms, and planting, it may seem like the list is neverending. While it would be amazing to be able to hire a gardener, we aren’t all that lucky. If you have children, then you are in luck! Young children are always willing to lend a helping hand if they think they are doing something special. Children enjoy helping with yard work because they are able to work with dirt and spend time outdoors. We wanted to share some important tips when working with your children in the yard:
We know that many of our customers are loving that the summer season is starting in a few short days. Even though it has been warm in Florida for some time, there is always something exciting about the official start of summer. One aspect of summer that we are not looking forward to is the onslaught of mosquitoes. There is nothing to like about mosquitoes. They make their presence known and leave you feeling itchy and uncomfortable when you are bitten. One way that you can help eliminate or reduce the number of mosquitoes is by adding certain plants to your yard. Not only can certain plants help repel mosquitoes, but they can also add curb appeal to your property. Plants that can help include:
