Top Landscape Trends For Summer

April 30th, 2013

Summer Landscape DesignAs summer approaches, you may be anxious to improve the curb appeal of your home, create an relaxing outdoor oasis or design an entertainment area. However, you may have no idea where to start. The experts at the Fort Worth landscaping company Blooms Landcare are familiar with the top landscape trends for summer. They can help you create a lawn and garden design you will love.

The current trend in landscape design involves a blending of architecture and nature. While it may be easy for you to select garden structures and outdoor furniture for your yard, you may need some assistance in choosing the plants. There’s a move toward incorporating native plants, shrubs and wildflowers in your landscape design. You’ll need to know what plants will thrive in your specific location in order to make the best choices.

A popular summer trend is to have less grass in your landscape. Wildflower meadows and flower beds are filling more of the lawn space. It’s also very popular to extend or create gravel or stone areas where you can place furniture and some impressive container plants. This area becomes your entertainment area where family and friends can gather for cookouts, parties and fun.

To keep your landscape looking beautiful, it’s essential that your flower selection involve seasonal color installation. Professional landscapers can advise you about succession planting. Many of the early spring flowers have lost their beauty by the time summer flowers are ready to be planted. Fall flowers can be planted near the end of summer to extend the beauty of your lawn or flower beds.

Vertical gardening is very trendy right now. You can enclose a small area of your lawn with trellises and climbing plants to create a relaxing, semi-private oasis. More people are including vegetable plants in their landscape. These can be mingled in with your flowers or grown in separate beds.

You don’t have to worry about knowing what to plant. Just give the professionals at Blooms Landcare a call at 817-688-5352 and let them assist you in making the best choices for your lawn.

Plan a Romantic Evening Outdoors with Landscape Lighting

March 27th, 2013

Landscape DesignLandscape lighting plays a significant role in making your exterior space an inviting place to spend a romantic evening. Blooms Landcare can install outdoor lights in strategic areas of your landscape design to enhance the beauty of your outdoor space. Try these “bright” ideas for the perfect backyard environment!

Setting the Mood

Using outdoor lighting in your backyard space is the easiest and most cost-effective way to highlight the features of your garden or landscaping that you want seen. Depending on the lights that you choose, you can also set a specific mood for when the sun goes down.

The professionals at our Fort Worth landscaping company can easily guide you through the design technique referred to as layered lighting. Layering the lights on your deck, in your garden, or as a part of any landscaped area creates an atmosphere filled with serenity and romance.

Creating the Perfect Design

But there’s no point in landscape lighting if you have nothing to illuminate! Our landscapers are experts in their field and can help you choose the best plants for the space you wish to create. Whether you’re looking for shady trees, pops of crazy color, or anything in between, we can help you.

But you can also add more than just plants to create the perfect romantic landscape.

  • Placing a comfortable bench or a bistro set in a softly illuminated garden provides the ideal place for intimate conversation and romantic dining.
  • Adding an outdoor bed or double chaise to your landscape design is a also certain way to add romance to your landscape and will look great on an enlarged or covered patio.
  • Water features are also great in any landscape design. Adding underwater or submerged lighting to a water garden will softly illuminate any plants and fish in the water garden. Plus, the sound of lightly bubbling water is instantly soothing.

An evening picnic beside of a lighted water garden would be extremely relaxing and wonderfully romantic.

Planning Your Romantic Evening

Once you have created the perfect outdoor retreat, you will certainly want to spend time there. One way to enjoy your romantically designed outdoor area is to designate one evening a week as a night for a romantic dinner or picnic under the stars with that special person in your life. Be creative with your plans! Have a gourmet meal on the patio, enjoy a picnic in the garden, or have a wine and cheese night under the stars. But remember to keep it simple so that the focus remains on the romantic aspect of the evening.

We Can Make it All Happen

Make a call to Blooms Landcare at 817-688-5352 and let them assist you with simple landscape lighting that will make it easy for you to enjoy many tranquil, serene, and romantic moments right outside your door.

Choosing Plants That will Thrive in Your Yard

February 27th, 2013

Fort Worth LandscapingAs a home gardener in Fort Worth, Texas, it would greatly benefit you to enlist the services of Fort Worth landscaping company Blooms Landcare to keep your garden looking beautiful. Our company can assist you in plant installation and help you to choose the right plants for your yard. When you explore which plants are native to the Fort Worth area, you can select those that will thrive and last for many years to come.

If you are looking for the perfect landscape design in your garden, you may want to start with the right grasses. The native grasses in Fort Worth are prairie grasses such as Indian, Mexican feather, blue stem, and buffalo. Buffalo grass is particularly resistant to drought and will perform extremely well even in the driest conditions. There is also a lovely grass called Lindheimer’s, which can grow quite tall and blooms tiny white flowers.

Many of the plants that are native to Texas in general are drought resistant. This of course includes cacti and succulents. The yellow native daisy is a lovely flower that can shine in your yard, as can cenizo, which is a shrub that sports pretty purple blooms. It can perform well even with very little water. Passion fruit is attractive for your garden and provides food for small animals as well as you and your family.

The black eyed Susan is a pleasant plant that sports flowers with petals of red, yellow, or orange with a brown head. These plants can grow to up to six feet tall and prefer full sunlight. At the same time, they are great options for your yard because they are highly adaptable to a variety of soil types. It is worth noting, however, that they require regular watering.

The aster is a great plant for your yard that is adaptable to essentially all soil types. Flower colors vary from pink, white, blue, red and purple. This plant can grow in heights of up to six feet and require a location that receives full sunlight. Asters are often compared with daisies due to their pleasant appearance.

If you are interested in planting the best blooms and trees for your yard, Blooms Landcare can help. Call us today at 817-688-5352.

Protecting Your Lawn During Winter

November 29th, 2012

Plant with Snow

Homeowners are unaware what they need to do to help maintain their lawn throughout the winter season. When it comes to landscape maintenance, the best thing you can do for your lawn is to enlist the advice and assistance of the professionals at Blooms Landcare. Not only will we make sure your lawn is cared for, but we’ll also provide you with the information you need to help maximize the potential of your lawn all year long.

Maintaining your lawn during the winter is just as important as it is during the summer. One of the most important things you can do for your lawn in the winter is to remove any snow that accumulates. An abundance of snow will only upset the look of your lawn and if left to sit there, it can kill your plants and trees. Allowing the snow to pile up on your landscaping is like throwing money down the drain.

Fort Worth often doesn’t see very much snow throughout the winter. If this season looks like there won’t be as much precipitation as in year’s past, you can always look to improve your lawn through seasonal color installation. This will allow you to enhance the look of your landscaping with a variety of colors to compliment the season. Your lawn is the first thing people see when they pull up to your house, so you want to make sure it’s an accurate depiction of the remainder of your property.

For those who need Fort Worth lawn care, the professionals at Blooms Landcare are ready to assist you in any way possible. From information to installation, our team is ready to handle whatever needs you may have. Take the time to speak with one of our representatives by calling 817-688-5352.

Add Outdoor Lighting for Beauty and Security

July 20th, 2012

When you’ve gone to the effort and expense of creating a beautiful outdoor environment for your Fort Worth home, there’s no reason for that beauty to disappear when the sun goes down. Let Blooms Landcare show you how outdoor lighting can showcase your home’s exterior and landscape 24 hours a day. Strategically placed outdoor lights not only highlight your home’s style but enhance the security of your home too.

The secret to an effective outdoor lighting installation lies in choosing the right fixture for the right application and location. Determining the best product to enhance the function and style of your yard or garden takes the skill of a talented professional experienced in landscape design. From bullet lights and wash lights to garden lighting, a Blooms Landcare lighting expert can help you choose the best products to illuminate the exterior of your home.

When it comes to decorative outdoor lighting, placement is everything. Flood lights are ideal for highlighting a landscape feature like a statue or fountain, but it takes skill to illuminate the feature without creating harsh shadows. Illumination from a down light filtering through a tree’s canopy creates the illusion of moonlight. A well light placed at the base of the same tree draws attention to the tree’s sculptural quality. Lighting design is an art as well as a science.

Outdoor security lighting can be woven into the overall exterior lighting scheme to enhance the security and safety of your home and your family. Would-be home intruders are less likely to choose a home that would put their actions in full view. A well-lighted home not only discourages break-ins but lets you easily indentify strangers outside your home. Outdoor lighting makes your home safer for guests as well, illuminating the path from the curb to your front door.

With a Blooms Landcare outdoor lighting installation in Fort Worth, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you are secure and safe within your own home as well as the pleasure of enjoying your home’s outdoor areas day and night. Our lighting professionals ensure that outdoor lighting works as well as it looks, with products that will enhance the beauty and functionality of your home for many years to come. Call Blooms Landcare today at 817-688-5352 and discover how outdoor lighting can light up your home with style. You can also contact us online.
