Landscaping for January and February

Winter LandscapingContrary to popular belief, creating an elegant landscape for the cold months of January and February isn’t a difficult task. In fact, the winter season may be the best time for landscaping.

Although the spring may be the trendiest time to touch up your lawn and patio space, keep in mind that a classy, stylish winter landscape can single you out from the rest of the entire neighborhood. Now is the time to spruce up your property with items such as birdbaths (yes, many of them did not fly south), trellises and arbors. We understand that most flowers will be harmed by the chilly temperatures, but those flowers and small trees (evergreens, for example) that are built for cold-weather environments would make your front and back yards shine.

Winter is one of the best times to take advantage of making your lawn stand out with pottery. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers are proud of our “Pots Alive” program, a signature program where we will install decorative pots and install plant arrangements designed to give your property additional flavor. Pots that include small berry trees really can make a home stand out among the rest.

If you’re looking to make your lawn better, winter grasses are available. A large variety of winter grasses exist, and with little maintenance, they can work well with patios, walkways and porches.

There are plenty of opportunities to turn a bland yard in January or February into a winter wonderland. Let our Dallas and Fort Worth landscaping company assist you with your next landscaping design or landscaping installation project. Call us today, or contact us online for information.

Using Ornamental Grasses for the Winter

Ornamental Grasses Winter

We’ve reaching mid-December, and for many of you, landscaping has become something of a secondary chore for your lawn. Keep in mind that even during the winter season, it’s never a bad idea to keep your lawn pristine.

If you want to have the beautiful colors of spring during the cold seasons, there are nurseries that carry year-round flowers. Feel free to pick up some of them and plant them in your yard. You’ll have the neighbors giving compliments and asking all kinds of questions.

Some green-thumb experts like to suggest using ornamental grasses during this time. Ornamental grasses offer just enough color and appeal to make people look twice at your lawn – especially during the winter. These grasses are virtually pest-free and basically adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the state with proper care (watering, pruning, fertilizing, etc.).

There are two kinds of ornamental grasses – cool-temperature grass and warm-temperature grass. Among the many kinds of cool-temperature grasses are fescues, bent grass, autumn moor grass, blue oat grass and Bermuda grass.

Good luck with turning your winter lawn into a masterpiece. Our expert landscapers in Dallas and Fort Worth TX will be happy to assist you with giving your lawn a year-round look that you can be proud of. In addition to advice on ornamental grasses, Blooms Landcare also specializes in seasonal color installation, which enhances your lawn for all seasons.
