Earth Friendly Patio Ideas

Spring and summer are the best time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. The best memories of summer nights are sitting on the porch with a tall glass of iced tea listening to the hum of insects and watching the stars. It is important that we enjoy these moments while also preserving them for our children’s future. You don’t have to do that at the expense of having a boring outdoor living area. Here are a few great earth friendly ideas for your patio.

Stay Local

The key to exceptional Dallas and Fort Worth lawn care is to use elements of the local environment, and preserve the current habitat. Blooms Landcare can help you pick everything you need to maintain a perfect balance. For example, you could use indigenous rocks and plants to landscape around your patio. You can also choose plants that require less water. This will not only help the environment but also save on your water bill! Choosing wood that is not soaked in harmful chemicals are not only safer for your family but don’t emit harmful substances into the environment. Check with your landscaping professional before choosing patio materials.

Quality Over Price

Quality materials last longer and therefore reduce waste. By choosing durable long lasting materials for your patio, you are making an eco-friendly decision. Blooms Landcare knows of the latest in eco-friendly materials that are available for installation. We have solar lighting available that is high quality, long lasting, and will save you money every month on your electric bill. Consequently, eco-friendly tends to mean savings for you and for the planet. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved.

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.
