Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting is a landscape design feature that improves safety, makes the outdoor space accessible day and night, and accentuates natural features throughout your property. Year round, landscape lighting improves the quality of the outdoor living experience. Here are the top reasons to consider landscape lighting as an additional feature for your landscape.
Outdoor Irrigation Systems
Irrigation is a great tool for maintaining and improving the appearance of your landscape. It is the controlled release of water to your grass, flower beds, shrubs, and other natural features. This prevents you from having to go out with the hose everyday to water the yard or attach a hose to a sprinkler that won’t cover the whole property. To learn more about irrigation, and wireless options, read the article below!
Professional Landscape Tips
Specific to landscaping services, there is an array of options for people to hire. Some landscape companies conduct a lot of one off jobs like installing irrigation or lighting. Some add your property to a schedule and come every week to cut the grass and lay out fresh mulch. A professional landscape design company tends to offer it all, with the incentive of building a long-term relationship with their client. Learn more about landscape design companies and things to consider when hiring.

Tree Work
Prepare Trees for The Season
It can be tricky to maintain trees on your property. Not only does a diseased tree look bad aesthetically, but it is also a huge danger to your home and property. This only gets worse in the winter, where it can be more arduous to care for a dying tree in the snow. Not to mention, trees are most at risk after snow storms that rip weak branches from trees and uproot whole trees from the ground. These trees then fall on power lines, cutting off power to the whole block or worse, landing on your home. Be prepared for the winter and have a professional evaluate your trees! Learn more about it below.

Tree Removal
Tree removal is something only recommended for the professionals. It’s a dangerous process, which is why arborists have years of experience tree felling before they even touch a tree. Watch the video below to see how the professionals do it: in the dead of winter!
Tree Health
Sometimes it is easy to identify when a tree is unhealthy, but other times it can be difficult to figure out! If your tree has foliage that is yellowing in the middle of the summer, or there is fungus growing on it, or branches are dying for no reason, there may be something wrong with the tree. Rather than trying to assess this for yourself, contact a professional arborist to diagnose the tree and make a treatment plan. The best thing you can do for trees on your property is know how to keep them healthy. Read more about tree health below.

Outdoor Landscape Prep
The best thing you can do to take care of your yard and outdoor living space is prepare for the upcoming season. For example, in the winter it’s important to start prepping for spring. Starting seedlings for a garden, buying the lawn ornaments and tools, and reserving professional help in advance are a few ways to prepare. By scheduling ongoing maintenance in advance, you are able to sit back and enjoy once the nice weather rolls around. In the fall, it’s time to rake up the leaves and bring in the patio furniture. Here are some useful resources to help you prepare for the upcoming season!
