Add Outdoor Lighting for Beauty and Security

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Build Team

Outdoor Lighting Advantages

When you’ve gone to the effort and expense of creating a beautiful outdoor environment for your Dallas and Fort Worth home, there’s no reason for that beauty to disappear when the sun goes down. Let Blooms Landcare show you how outdoor lighting can showcase your home’s exterior and landscape 24 hours a day. Strategically placed outdoor lights not only highlight your home’s style but enhance the security of your home too.

The secret to an effective outdoor lighting installation lies in choosing the right fixture for the right application and location. Determining the best product to enhance the function and style of your yard or garden takes the skill of a talented professional experienced in landscape design. From bullet lights and wash lights to garden lighting, a Blooms Landcare lighting expert can help you choose the best products to illuminate the exterior of your home.

When it comes to decorative outdoor lighting, placement is everything. Flood lights are ideal for highlighting a landscape feature like a statue or fountain, but it takes skill to illuminate the feature without creating harsh shadows. Illumination from a down light filtering through a tree’s canopy creates the illusion of moonlight. A well light placed at the base of the same tree draws attention to the tree’s sculptural quality. Lighting design is an art as well as a science.

Outdoor security lighting can be woven into the overall exterior lighting scheme to enhance the security and safety of your home and your family. Would-be home intruders are less likely to choose a home that would put their actions in full view. A well-lighted home not only discourages break-ins but lets you easily indentify strangers outside your home. Outdoor lighting makes your home safer for guests as well, illuminating the path from the curb to your front door.

With a Blooms Landcare outdoor lighting installation in Dallas and Fort Worth, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you are secure and safe within your own home as well as the pleasure of enjoying your home’s outdoor areas day and night. Our lighting professionals ensure that outdoor lighting works as well as it looks, with products that will enhance the beauty and functionality of your home for many years to come.

Installing a Sprinkler System

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Build Team

Installing 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 & Pruning for the Spring

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Build Team

With 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.

Our Dallas and Fort Worth tree trimming services include removal of damaged branches and stump grinding, in addition to other pruning services. Our landscapers also specialize in trimming hedges, offering full-service maintenance for your home or office.

Feel free to contact our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscaping company today. Give us a call, or visit us online for details.

Helping the Educational Community

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Build Team

Blooms Landcare has taken an initiative to restore landscaping within the community. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers recently have partnered up with REAL , a local nonprofit organization that supports school communities by creating learning gardens.

REAL (Rainwater Environmental Alliance for Learning) School Gardens partners with high-poverty elementary schools in the installation and maintenance of learning gardens that become a major part an educational community. The gardens have been shown to improve the lives of students by boosting scholastic achievement, as well as life skills.

By donating $25 to REAL School Gardens for each new customer we serve, our Dallas and Fort Worth landscapers are able to help 74 elementary schools across the area in building educational gardens. The 74 schools assisted equate to roughly 2,600 teachers and more than 41,000 elementary-school students.

Help us help this nonprofit organization. For more information on REAL School Gardens, or for information on our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscaping company, feel free to give us a call, or visit us online.

New Walkway for the New Year

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Build Team

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.
