Installing a Sprinkler System

Posted on by Build Team

sprinkler installationInstalling a new sprinkler or irrigation system is one of many landscaping projects that can be done in an effort to boost the aesthetics of your home. Sprinkler installation eliminates hand watering your lawn or garden, which can be time-consuming, as well as a physical issue.

There are several different sprinkler systems to choose from. Our Dallas and Fort Worth sprinkler system contractors can help you in choosing which one suits your property the best. Here are three of the more common installed underground sprinklers:

  • Spray Sprinkler

    : These sprinklers have small heads that pop up from the ground to water your lawn. These heads can spray in radius ranges from 10-15 feet, and they can spray in full circles, half circles or quarter circles.

  • Rotor Sprinkler

    : These sprinklers rotate to deliver water. They have larger radius ranges (30-90 feet), which make them prime for larger lawns. Rotor sprinklers are a little slower in providing irrigation, but they benefit wider, flatter areas better than installing multiple spray sprinklers.

  • Drip Sprinkler

    : These sprinklers use hoses or tubes to deliver water. They work well with flower beds or non-lawn areas. If installed properly, drip irrigation can save money and time, as it applies water directly to the soil and eliminates excess spraying.

For those looking for immediate irrigation but do not have the money to install a new sprinkler system, there are temporary sprinklers that will suffice. These are plastic sprinkler systems you can attach to your garden hose. They do not have timers and must be turned on and off manually.

Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers can provide you additional information on quality sprinkler systems. Give our Dallas and Fort Worth landscaping company a call today, or visit us online for details.

For Energy Conservation, Use CFL Bulbs

Posted on by Build Team

CFL BulbsAccording to the Energy Star website, one light fixture replaced with an energy-efficient bulb could save enough energy to light as many as three million homes each year. The total savings would range at roughly $600 million.

Those numbers alone make energy-efficient bulbs an intriguing option, and when it comes to your outdoor lighting, energy conservation is never a bad idea. Energy Star-qualified compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are the environmentally conscious alternative to traditional light bulbs. They use less energy while, at the same time, providing equal or better lighting for your patio, front yard or back yard.

CFL bulbs use roughly three-quarters the energy that traditional bulbs use. In addition, CFL bulbs produce about three-quarters of the heat, which makes them safer to use for children. CFL bulbs are built to last longer than traditional bulbs, and they can save as much as $40 in utility costs over its life span.

These bulbs, most importantly, are stamped with the Energy Star name, which means they are above-quality bulbs that will be better for the environment. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers at Blooms Landcare specialize in quality outdoor lighting installation that will aesthetically and financially improve your residential or commercial property, and the use of a CFL bulb can further add to your property value.

Winter-proof Your Patio and Furniture

Posted on by Build Team

winter-proof patio and furnitureMany homeowners buy their homes with a patio or install a new patio with the idea of resting, relaxing and unwinding in the summer months. With temperatures at near-freezing numbers, that idea probably is not a good one right now.

As the weather changes, your patio can be affected by unfavorable weather conditions, such as snow, ice and freezing rain. It’s important to know how to protect your patio and its furniture not only during inclement weather but also during the chilly winter months.

Here are a couple of tips that can help keep your patio and its furniture looking just as new in the winter as it looked when you first purchased it.

  • Clean it up

    Before doing anything else, give your furniture a thorough cleaning. Use the appropriate solution for your furniture material (in other words, use metal cleaner and not water for metal furniture). You want to do this to get rid of excess dirt and grime. The winter months will provide plenty of that, particularly with a winter storm.

  • Think maintenance

    Some wood products associated with your patio or furniture can erode with unfavorable weather conditions. Some plastic products can crack and break with freezing temperatures. Some aluminum products must be covered to avoid rust. Know your furniture and accessories, and be sure to take care of them.

  • Hand wash

    For patio furniture cushions, tablecloths and other fabrics, it’s recommended that you wash these periodically, perhaps twice each season. While some experts suggest machine wash is appropriate, others suggest to hand wash your accessories. Make sure to effectively air dry in an arid environment or use a low-air dryer to avoid potential mold and mildew.

Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers know that a great patio – no matter the season – can be the talk of a neighborhood, and we want to help you maintain your patio and its furniture throughout the winter months. Let our landscape design experts assist you today. Call our Dallas and Fort Worth landscaping company, or contact us online for more details.

Winter Lawn Care Maintenance Tips

Posted on by Build Team

Winter LandscapingWith temperatures getting lower and lower (and they’re actually supposed to be below freezing by early next week), the last thing you’re probably concerned with is the progress of your lawn. Believe it or not, this is the best time to make that a high priority. While grass appears not to grow during the chilly temperatures, now may be the best time to give your lawn a last-minute touch-up. Maintaining your lawn now will put you in excellent shape for the spring. Here are three tips that will cater to the productivity of your lawn during the winter months.

  • Lower the mower

    Your lawn isn’t going to need a full cut, but it’s not a bad idea to lower the blade and give the lawn a nice trimming. By lowering the height of your mower blade, you are able to trim any growth that could aid in winter lawn diseases.

  • Rake the yard

    You probably didn’t realize that those leaves on your lawn can be increase the chances of disease and suffocation with your lawn. By picking up leaves, sticks, logs, garden hoses, etc., you assist in your lawn steering clear of being vulnerable to diseases. If possible, mulch the leaves and wooden objects to aid in fertilization.

  • Aerate and fertilize

    Make sure you aerate your lawn before the first good freeze – and that freeze is coming very soon! Aerating, in addition to light fertilization (aerate, then fertilize), will not only prepare your lawn for a prosperous spring but also fight against thatch.

In addition to the tips mentioned above, now is the best time to act questions to prepare for the spring and even next fall and winter.

New Walkway for the New Year

Posted on by Build Team
New Walkway

With the new year literally days away, why not consider a new look for your backyard?

Well-constructed walkway landscaping not only can add a splash of sophistication to your property, but it also can increase your property value by thousands of dollars quickly. Walkways can be either straight or curved, and they can be formed by several different materials. Walkways can come in concrete, brick, gravel, crushed stone or even shredded bark or mulch.

Many families with walkways also own flourishing gardens. Those with gardens who do not have walkways should strongly consider the idea, as they serve as a path for you to manage your flowers or produce effectively, without having to get dirty in the soil surrounding it.

Concrete or brick stone walkways are the easiest answers, as they require minimal maintenance (totally the opposite for mulch walkways). Because of this, they arguably are the most expensive walkway material to purchase, and they also can be heavily labor-intensive. Trained professionals usually are the ones who install these walkways.

Mulch may be more inexpensive to install than gravel or crushed stone, but mulch will require more maintenance as the wood eventually could deteriorate with inclement weather conditions.

Our landscape design company in Dallas and Fort Worth TX specializes in all kinds of walkway installation. We know that a properly installed and managed walkway can improve your outdoor living arrangements. Call our landscaping experts today, or contact us online for more details.
