Landscaping Advice
If you are thinking of landscaping your home, it is recommended that you work around a focal point. This is because any excellent garden design features either a single focal point or a series. For instance, it can be a nice looking plant or a sculpture or maybe a good tree or some shrubs. The idea being is to let you draw your eye and allow it to scan the landscape.
Lawn Irrigation Advice
When it comes to watering your lawn it is recommended that you use a hose-end sprinkler. This is excellent for small to medium sized areas. You can look at the many different sprinklers available and find one that will suit your lawn. Take note that the hose-end sprinklers water in a rectangular pattern and do not forget to turn off the water for manual sprinklers. Want to avoid this mistake? Use an oven timer to help remind you to turn the sprinklers off. When it comes to lawn watering the trick is to go deeper but with less frequency in order to spur the grass to grow deep roots.
