A healthy, well-tended lawn enhances a home and increases its value, but no one wants to be a slave to their grass. Luckily, today’s wider variety of grasses and increasing emphasis on low maintenance lawn and low water-use yards provide Dallas and Fort Worth landscapers with an alternative to lawn care drudgery. The lawn experts at Bloom’s Landcare can guide homeowners to that perfect balance of beauty and convenience.

A successful low maintenance lawn begins with a good landscape design:

• Match the size of your lawn to the amount of time you want to spend mowing.
• Include automatic sprinklers to your design.
• Don’t put lawns on difficult-to-mow areas like slopes or paths.
• Use edging along gardens to give yourself a good mowing strip.
• Choose a variety of grass that best fits your type of soil, the amount of sun and heat the area receives and how the lawn will be used.

The next step is to match these careful designs with an equally meticulous landscape installation:

• Amend your soil if necessary and make sure the drainage is adequate.
• Install a reliable sprinkler system.
• Do the final shaping of the ground.
• Lay the sod or spread the grass seed.

Finally, keep that new lawn glowing with regularly scheduled landscape maintenance:

• Adjust your sprinklers to the season and to periods of unseasonable weather.
• Eliminate weeds as soon as they appear, before they become a problem.
• Aerate your lawn every spring for warm-season lawns and every fall for cool-season lawns.
• Cut just the top third of the grass blades and keep your mower sharp.

Low maintenance lawns provide all the beauty of conventional lawns with a minimum of ugly yard work, but it takes careful planning and installation to create them. The knowledgeable professionals at Bloom’s Landcare can give you the advice and guidance you need to make your dream lawn a reality. Just call [phone] today to get started.

The most beautiful gardens depend on planning a design that will not only compliment the surrounding landscape, but also reflect the seasons. An expert from Blooms Landcare can assist homeowners in choosing plants in shades of pastels for the spring, vivid hues of blooms in the summer, warm reds, yellow and orange to herald the cooler temperatures of fall and winter.

A Dallas and Fort Worth landscaper knows the conditions that plants in local gardens battle. Flowerbed maintenance needs include the proper moisture, protection from weeds and garden pests, and the proper nutrients. A good landscape design will be based on the availability of landscape maintenance as well as the appropriate plant for the right location. The amount of sunlight that the garden receives on a regular basis will be one of the top considerations for the choice of plants in the landscape installation.

Less maintenance will be needed is flowering plants are chosen that are tolerant to heat, even if the garden gets full sun for most of the day. Annuals that love the sun come in all colors and heights, making them a good choice in the landscape design.

As 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 Dallas and 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.
