Review these deck and patio landscaping tips and advice to ease your deck or patio into warmer seasons. Winter will soon be wrapping up to introduce the spring, yielding lush greenery and blooming flowers, so make plans to decorate accordingly.

Make the most of what you have when it comes to decorating your patio, porch and deck. Treat your deck or patio like any other room in your home for a great area to relax. After all, it IS the first space your guests will see when they visit.

Be creative with plant display with ideas from outside the box. For example, use chairs to display your plants. Imperfections could even uncover and accentuate your deck or patio’s natural charm.

Think of a porch as a living room and decorate it accordingly. Keep comfort, function and style in mind as you use pieces from the interior, always making sure they are protected from the elements. Keep it simple and remember that less is more. Use mirrors to give the illusion of added space. Soften the floors with rugs or carpet, or paint your floor coverings for a homey feel.

Dry shade is a shaded area that gets little to no water. If you have a dry shade area on your property and wish to grow plants there, you may find it to be problematic. Most plants require both water and sunlight in abundant quantities in order to grow, so the challenge is to find those plants that can tolerate a lack of these two elements.

These dry, shaded conditions are characteristic of areas underneath trees or beneath the eves of your home. Beneath trees, the roots absorb a good portion of the available water, and house eaves block rain from direct contact with the area beneath them.

In order to increase the soil’s water retention, use compost before you begin planting. This gives the soil the absorbency to catch any moisture that flows through, much like a sponge.

There are many exquisite plants that can stand dry shade conditions. Some attractive varieties include (photo top left to bottom right) English ivy plants, foxglove, hosta, liriope spicata, scilla siberica, snowdrops, spotted dead nettles, stella de oro daylily and vinca minor vines.

A well-maintained lawn is critical for an upkept appearance. Most lawns need regular seeding, fertilizing, aerating, and mowed regularly. Avoid removing more than one third of the grass blade in one cutting. Prune your overgrown shrubs being careful not to chop down to unnatural square shapes. Then remove weeds and remulch your lawn for a finished look. A lawn renovation could be in order if it has patchy or bald spots.

Keep your yard tidy by removing anything that may not belong there. Store kids toys and bikes in a shed or garage. Empty and toss dead plant containers. Get rid of junk, trash or anything else that is cluttering up the lawn. Sweep your steps, decks, porches or other hard surfaces, and if needed, power wash the house, wood and concrete.

Controlling insects in your garden this time of year could be an exhausting task. Summertime is known for growing delicious fruits and vegetables, but also a time for insect infestations. Review these tips and advice for keeping insect attacks to a minimum.

Insect populations tend to increase with the warm climate and migration, increasing the pressure on your plants’ potential for damage. Utilize a diversity of plants to create a diversity of plants not allowing a single pest variety to get out of hand. When you identify what bug is causing damage to your garden, eliminating the problem is easier.

Choose vegetables and fruits that are more resistant to insect attacks to reduce the need to spray. Spraying should always be a last resort, and using proper methods to avoid insect infestations could help you avoid using chemicals to protect your garden, therefore inviting beneficial insects such as ladybugs. Using sprays that repel rather than kill bugs can be less harmful to your plants, although they may need to be applied more often.

Rotating crops can reduce the number of harmful insects in your garden. Keep fruits off the ground to avoid critters such as slugs and other bugs from festering on them. If you see any eggs from potential problem bugs, dispose of them to reduce the population and potential problem. Keeping your garden clean and healthy could also reduce insect problems by removing rotting fruits, using mulch to avoid a moist foundation, and trellis your plants vertically.
