Keeping Your Lawn Healthy in this Drought

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Build Team

For those of us that live in Texas, this is been a particularly trying summer. With record-setting temperatures and unbearable heatwaves, keeping your family cool and comfortable is of the utmost priority. The lack of rainfall has been hard for many, and this lack of plentiful moisture can take a toll on your lawn’s health. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX lawn care experts at Blooms Landcare can offer you additional information on how to keep your lawn looking its best during this drought.

In a drought such as this one, it is crucial to remember not to mow your lawn if you do not see growth. Excessive mowing will simply damage your lawn and make it more vulnerable to sun damage. The weight of the lawn mower can also damage your already fragile grass. If your grass is indeed growing, it is best to mow at night, when you won’t have to contend with the sun’s warm rays. Making sure your mower blades are sharp and efficient, as well as raising the height of your grass will also help make for a healthier and fuller lawn.

It is also important to ensure that your lawn is receiving the adequate water levels it needs. This is where your irrigation system is essential. It is extremely important to make sure your irrigation system is covering all areas of your lawn, however. If you notice brown or yellow patches assorted throughout your lawn, this could mean that your irrigation system is not accurately covering you entire lawn. Our lawn care experts can make sure your system is running efficiently and providing the coverage your lawn so desperately needs.

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.

For Energy Conservation, Use CFL Bulbs

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Build Team

According to the Energy Star website, one light fixture replaced with an energy-efficient bulb could save enough energy to light as many as three million homes each year. The total savings would range at roughly $600 million.

Those numbers alone make energy-efficient bulbs an intriguing option, and when it comes to your outdoor lighting, energy conservation is never a bad idea. Energy Star-qualified compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are the environmentally conscious alternative to traditional light bulbs. They use less energy while, at the same time, providing equal or better lighting for your patio, front yard or back yard.

CFL bulbs use roughly three-quarters the energy that traditional bulbs use. In addition, CFL bulbs produce about three-quarters of the heat, which makes them safer to use for children. CFL bulbs are built to last longer than traditional bulbs, and they can save as much as $40 in utility costs over its life span.

These bulbs, most importantly, are stamped with the Energy Star name, which means they are above-quality bulbs that will be better for the environment. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX landscapers at Blooms Landcare specialize in quality outdoor lighting installation that will aesthetically and financially improve your residential or commercial property, and the use of a CFL bulb can further add to your property value.

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.
