You can create your own backyard oasis with the addition of a backyard water feature. The soothing sights and sounds associated with water make a relaxing atmosphere that all will enjoy. Similar to backyard fire features, water is a natural element that draws people to it and relaxes them. Bring more wildlife into your yard with a water feature. You can choose from a number of backyard water features, from simple to elaborate, from a small birdbath to a combination of feature that encompass your entire outdoor living area.

Add stonework to for beauty and comfort, it’s also a great conversation piece.
Natural Stone:
There’s nothing else you can add to your property that will create the feeling of harmony with your surroundings more than stone. With stone you can invite the timeless feel of wild hills and streams in to your own backyard.

Retaining Walls

A yard with steep slopes can create some challenges for the home landscaper. It can be tough to grow grass on a steep grade–if you are lucky enough to grow it, then you need to figure out how to cut it. Pushing a mower up and down a steep slope on a sweltering day gets old in a hurry, and mowing from side to side can become a safety hazard. Perhaps the answer to your steep slope challenges is to add retaining walls.

Why hire a professional lawn care service?

Service – it is a convenient way to
maintain an attractive lawn, especially with today’s busy lifestyles.
Expertise – lawn care professionals should understand how plants grow and what it takes to create an attractive lawn.
Simplifies the confusing task of purchasing the proper fertilizers and/or pesticides for your lawn.
Eliminates the time-consuming task of calibrating spreaders and sprayers to accurately apply products.
Eliminates the liability for proper storage of fertilizers and pesticides which should be stored in a locked, waterproof, and ventilated area.
Reduces the possible risks to our environment from inexperienced homeowners applying fertilizers and pesticides to their lawns.
Professionals can use some pesticides that are not labeled for home-owner use.

Irrigation

Experts have determined that for best plant and grass health we should irrigate when the soil moisture level has been depleted down to the 50% level, then replenish to 100%. Think of a kitchen sponge that is 100% saturated to the point where it just stops dripping, and then you squeeze out 50 % of the water. Then, fill again to 100% (in soil management terms “field capacity”). This watering should be done in the early morning hours, when winds are light and water pressure is at its highest
