The Benefits of Tree Trimming on Your Property

Posted on by Build Team

Tree Trimming Dallas and Fort Worth TXIt can be difficult to know when you need to trim the trees in your garden, so using a professional and expert landscaping company is the best way to keep on top of your lawn care. At Blooms Landcare, we’re here to help you with all your landscaping needs. We have put together the following tips to help you find out why you should consider trimming your garden trees.

Why Should I Have My Trees Trimmed?

There are a number of reasons why your home and garden could benefit from the trimming of your trees.

Health Purposes

Proper and consistent trimming can improve the overall health of your trees. This works by eliminating branches that are dead or dying and generally freshens them up. These branches are often detrimental to the tree, and removing them reduces the risk of harm to your trees and your property if the branches fell off.

Improves Appearance

Regular tree trimming will improve the overall appearance and structure of the trees in your garden. This will keep any trees from developing broad or weak branches. Professional trimming prevents limbs from growing weak or eventually crossing each other and competing for space.

Tree Health

Trimming your trees will increase natural light through sun exposure and air circulation. The health throughout the tree and underlying landscape will be improved by trimming and regular care.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Not only is tree trimming beneficial to the overall health of your garden, professional trimming will also simply open up your property, improving your view, and brightening up the landscape.

Easy Ways to Clean Artificial Turf

Posted on by Build Team

artificial turf installation fort worth txThere are a number of reasons why you may choose to use synthetic or artificial turf in your garden instead of real grass. One of the main reasons is that synthetic turf is a lot easier to manage than natural grass. It requires less maintenance and work; you won’t need to fertilize, mow, or use huge amounts of water in order to keep your grass green.

However, with this in mind, you must understand that artificial turf is not completely maintenance-free.

How to Clean and Maintain Synthetic Grass

How much work is entailed depends entirely on your specific artificial grass situation. For example, if you have pets, children, or lots of trees and plants, you will likely need to clean your synthetic lawn quite often. If you live in a particularly dusty area, such as in a city or busy suburb, this may also require you to rinse down your artificial lawn more frequently.

However, during rainy months, you can allow the rain to wash your lawn and may not need to spray it down! Usually, most homeowners will need to gently rinse their synthetic lawns once per week. It’s very straightforward; simply spraying the grass fibers with a hose will remove the dust and debris that has accumulated. Sometimes you may find there is more debris than usual – this can be due to seasonal changes. If you find that there are excess leaves, dirt, or other bits of debris, you can use a rake to get rid of these in no time.

The Pros and Cons of Artificial Turf for Your Pets

Posted on by Build Team

artificial turf installation fort worth, tx

People cherish their pets. Some even go so far as to treat them like small, fuzzy children within their own homes. Of course, we all want the best for our four-legged friends who stand by our side, which is why it makes so much sense to consider artificial turf in the backyard for your feline or canine pal. When considering such an option, however, homeowners should understand the pros and cons involved with such an installation and what it involves.

Pros

To start, artificial turf has an incredibly low maintenance cost. You do not need to water, fertilize, or use pesticides on the turf. The lack of pesticides especially makes it a wonderful option for pets. You receive the benefits of a beautiful, green lawn, but without the cost or effort.

Second, artificial turf is quite durable. We all know that dogs love to dig and cats love to shred. Artificial turf is not exactly like grass, so you won’t notice holes or mess. No more muddy patches or uneven areas from your pet playfully destroying the yard.

Cons

As for cons, there are two major factors to consider: heat and cost. For heat, the artificial grass is generally made of polyethylene fibers, which tend to get quite hot when exposed to sunlight directly. This can be uncomfortable for those walking barefoot and for your pets. A bit of carefully placed shade should do wonders, though.

In terms of cost, synthetic grass is going to be a big investment for a homeowner. It can be somewhat expensive when you first make the purchase, though it can be a wise investment when compared to natural grass. You have to consider the long-term.

The Importance of Maintenance For Your Outdoor Lighting System

Posted on by Build Team

Winter Weather Outdoor Lighting

Just like your car or plumbing system, it is important to perform regular maintenance on your outdoor lighting system to ensure the whole setup works properly when you need it the most. You see, an outdoor lighting system is an investment in the safety, security, style, and quality of your entire house. You can feel more secure by deterring criminals, enhance the appearance of your yard, or simply walk a little more confidently in the early morning hours to the car. Of course, none of that is possible unless you perform proper maintenance on the whole system.

Proper Maintenance

If it has been more than six months since you last had maintenance or service performed on your outdoor lighting system, it is time to put in the effort. You should have the entire system checked by a professional at least twice per year to ensure each light and all of the wiring are functioning as intended. If you fail to perform adequate maintenance, your timers may fall out of sync or bulbs may become burnt out. This increases the risk of slip and fall accidents or a home burglary from taking place. A lack of lighting is a significant risk to your entire home.

What to Watch For

You know it is time for proper maintenance if you begin to notice lights that are burnt out, lamps that have been uprooted, the lighting system turning on at the wrong time of the day, or entire strings of lights failing to operate at all. These problems should be addressed as soon as possible. Bring in a professional who understands outdoor lighting systems to solve whatever issues and set up a maintenance schedule.

Creating the Perfect Garden for Fort Worth Fall

Posted on by Build Team

Garden MaintenanceGet your garden ready for fall with our landscaping tips. Not only do you want to replace some of the color lost to summer annuals, but you also need to start thinking about preserving your garden for winter and taking care of perennials, trees, and shrubs while the weather is still favorable. Check out our tips below to prep your garden for fall like a pro.

Freshen Up with Flowers

Soon temperatures will start to dip, and there are countless flowers and ground covers that thrive in Dallas and Fort Worth’s fall climate. If you are looking to invest in some perennials that pop up with gorgeous fall colors, try adding zinnias and homestead verbena to the mix. Look for zinnias with a rusty red hue and fewer petals. Zinnias are easy to grow and offer up an abundance of blooms. These flowers are perfect for cutting if you like to keep fresh flowers in the house over the fall as well. For a bolder color, plant deep purple blossoms like those found on homestead verbena in your garden. Homestead verbena blooms from June to November and quickly fills open spaces with delicate blossoms and dark green foliage. Both of these flowers represent the spirit of autumn and attract butterflies to your garden.

Garden Prep for Winter

The advent of fall heralds a lot of work to be done in your garden. The next few months offer the best opportunity to dig up bulbs, feed plants, mulch your garden, cut back perennials, and prune trees and shrubs before winter weather hits. As soon as stormy days and colder weather arrives, you won’t want to spend as much time in the outdoors, so it’s always best to get a head start on all the yard work.

Of course, fall is also a very busy time for most folks, whether you are getting the kids back to school or settling back into the work routine after all the summer vacation. Blooms Landcare is always available to take care of any yard and garden needs, and we are just a click or call away at [phone] and on our contact page.

Artificial Turf Cost – How to Get the Best Value

Posted on by Build Team

artificial turf installation fort worth txLet’s face it, keeping a lawn lush, lively and green with temperamental Texas weather is no small task. It’s not impossible, and obviously Blooms Landcare takes pride in the many Dallas and Fort Worth lawns we service, which flourish, even in the August heat.

But there are other ways to win at landscaping. Many Texas families are choosing low-maintenance artificial turf to make their yards the envy of the neighborhood. Often times, the main hesitation comes in considering the artificial turf cost. How can a family get the best value?

Benefits of Artificial Turf

The prevalence of do-it-yourself television and tight family budgets, have led many to think they’re ready to tackle any home renovation or installation, in an effort to save a few dollars. However, having a professional, like the Blooms Landcare technicians, install your artificial turf can save you time and money when it comes to lifetime value.

Understanding the savings that come from installing artificial turf is part of getting the best value. The low-maintenance, long-lasting artificial grass may have a significant upfront cost, but over time the value can be seen in many ways. In addition to having a picture-perfect yard year round, the following are some benefits:

How Much is Artificial Turf?

What you really want to know is how much does artificial turf cost?

Including installation, the average American family spends $4,463 on artificial turf. That may seem like a big expense, especially when an install for traditional sod only runs $1,735. But once the turf is in, it’s done. Leaves still have to be removed and there’s the occasional rinse (regularly for pet owners) but for the next 15 to 25 years, depending on product selection, you’re sitting pretty on a perfect lawn.

The average U.S. household spends anywhere from $700 to more than $3,000 per year, just for the lawn to be mowed. This does not include additional costs such as increased water bills, weeding, fertilizing, aerating, sprinkler systems, lawn mower maintenance and more.

When you factor in time savings, for those who mow and maintain their own lawns, the value of artificial turf begins to really shine. With all those savings, we bet you can already see yourself relaxing on your artificial lawn instead of sweating away to maintain a natural one. Let the Blooms Landcare technicians do the hard work, so you don’t have to.

Planting an Edible Landscape for Beginning Gardeners

Posted on by Build Team

Edible LandscapeThere is nothing better than a beautiful fragrant garden right in your backyard, except for a beautiful fragrant garden that you can eat! Edible landscaping is becoming the hot new trend for outdoor gardens in homes across the country. Blooms Landcare is happy to show you the basics to planting a gorgeous and delicious edible landscape right in your own yard.

The Right Mix

The key to creating a balance between edible and aesthetic is choosing a bit from both. After all, you don’t want your backyard looking like a farm; you want it to look like an oasis! Search online for both ornamental plants and edible plants that you can combine to make a stunning landscape! Pepper plants give you vibrant color while being easy to grow and combine well with bright yellow flowers. Herbal plants are easy to maintain and serve as a beautiful and functional ground cover around taller flowering plants.

Know Your Soil Health

The key to a successful start with your edible landscape is to begin with a healthy soil. You will want a fast drainage planting box or area with a minimum of 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. Many edible plants (with the exception of fruiting trees) take just a season to produce with the right soil. Routinely check the soil pH level using strips and add nutrients every 2-3 months to keep your soil healthy!
