Landscaping for January and February

Posted on by Build Team

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.

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.
