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.

tree trimming services fort worth, txWith the weather transforming the Dallas-Dallas and Fort Worth area from freezing temperatures into a warm, comfortable environment, many are starting to think about spring landscaping projects. The grass is starting to grow again, and all plants are beginning to blossom.

The current weather conditions are perfect for venturing outside and preparing your front and back yards, which means trimming the not-so-attractive branches off the trees. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers at Blooms Landcare specialize in tree trimming and pruning for residential and commercial properties, and we will make sure your home or business will be satisfied with our services just in time for the spring.

Many ask why trimming or pruning is so important. A well-groomed tree, particularly during this time of year, will assist in the tree staying as healthy as possible. A well-manicured tree also prevents potential hazards. Some trees grow too large to where they are close to dangerous power lines. In addition, a pruned tree also helps a property from an aesthetic standpoint.

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.
