Landscaping

Why should I keep up my landscaping?

Trimming your plants is more important that you may think, it keeps the plants from growing too fast and getting spindly, protecting the investment that you made in them and keeps them looking nice. Plants gravitate towards the sun and if let alone many plants would become lopsided, also once plants are let to grow too big, it takes drastic pruning to get them back in shape and may never fully be what they once were.

Food for thought...

I recently read that a nice lawn and mature plantings is believed to add 25% value to your home. Whether you are thinking of selling your home or staying for a long time, a 25% increase in value is considerable. Putting value aside there is much joy that can be had from a nicely landscaped yard. We have been installing and keeping up landscapes for many years. From hardscaping to the smallest plants, from large projects to weeding beds "If you can't do it, we can help".

Why is Drainage so Important?

Gutters, down spout, pipes and grading play a very important part in your homes health. As a rule of thumb 80% of all basement water problems can be fixed with correctly working gutters, down spouts, and grading. Getting the water away from your home is of utmost importance. Many problems can arise from letting water seep into your home. The next time it rains, put on a rain coat and take a look around your home to make sure the water is moving away from your home, and that all the drainage systems are working correctly.
