Although rarely serious, mosquito bites are often higly irritating and itchy. Wear long-sleeved shirts when gardening and spending time outside to prevent bug bites. Bug repellent is a great way to deter mosquitoes and other flying insects from biting your skin. Reapply the repellent occasionally since it has a tendency to wear off after a while.

Add style to your landscape by adding fencing and make a bold statement. Fencing contributes to the overall style and theme of your yard and garden to provide a designated enclosure. Consider these factors when deciding on a fence for your yard.

Besides dividing your property line or enclosing a portion of your yard, you can add a fence to your landscape for stylistic purposes. Perhaps you want a lattice to run your vines or flowers through for added zest. You could use fencing to accentuate a certain area of your yard. Perhaps your reason to add fencing is to highlight a bed of flowers or a certain tree.

Wooden fence styles include stockade, picket, lattice, and post and rail. Some of the most common materials for fencing include wood, metal and plastic. There also is the consideration of colors, textures and size.

Fencing generally has 3 main components which are posts, rails and panels. Posts run vertically from the ground, rails connect the posts, and panels fill in the rest. Take into consideration what function the fence is to be used for, places to install a gate, and how high it should be.

Keeping your grass green and healthy can be simple. Consider these lawncare related tips in order to keep your grass green and conditioned in preparation for the fall months.

Grass is a living organism and requires care and nutrients just like people do. These nutrients come from the air, water and soil. Feed your lawn what it needs, protect it from disease and weeds and mow your lawn regularly to return it to it’s original healthy self.

Reseed your lawn in the early fall with a spreader for even distribution. A thick and healthy lawn generally has less weeds and better insect control than an unhealthy one. Use patch seeds to focus on brown spots in your lawn and make sure they get plenty of sun and water to optimize signs of life in your grass.

Adding fertilizer to your lawn in the late fall and mid summer is recommended so your existing lawn and new seeds grow healthy and full. To control weeds in your lawn before they get started, apply a pre emergent herbicide to your grass in the early spring.

Proper mowing is important to a healthy, green lawn. Do not mow your lawn too short or you risk exposing grass roots to the sun thus drying out your lawn. The best time to mow is probably early evening, due to the dropping temperature, but it is best to water your lawn in the early morning. This allows a chance to dry before nightfall, when many types of fungus are most active.

Don’t get stuck with a lawn full of weeds and wildflowers. Take precautionary steps to eliminate weeds in your lawn, and preventative measures that keep them from returning after removal.

If there are certain areas you want to keep wildflower-free, a few materials may really be of use. Newspaper, paper bags or cardboard keeps weeds from popping up in your flowerbed, and still allows rain and water through. For this reason, plastic is a bad idea to use beneath the soil for keeping wildflowers and weeds out. Use mulch on the surface to give your flower bed a nice appearance afterwards.

If the battle against weeds is really bad, consider installing landscape fabric between and around your trees, bushes and flowers. This prevents weed seeds from sprouting by providing a barrier from deeper soil. You can cut an “X” in the fabric to allow smaller plants to poke through. Anchor the fabric around the base with pins about every 4 feet for longer flower and plant beds.

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.

Pressure washing is a great alternative to painting your home or deck. The exterior of your home or business makes a statement to your visitors and neighbors. Instead of spending the time and money on repainting, give your home a fresh appearance.

Pressure washing not only protects from everyday elements and toxins, but helps remove accumulated dirt, mold, mildew and fungus from the structure. For that reason, our advice is keeping it clean by having pressure washing done every 6 months. In Florida, these situations get worse with time and catching any growth in its early stages is important to avoid bigger problems in the future.

We offer pressure washing for driveways, walkways and fences as well for your home or business. Consider us first when in need for pressure washing of your trim gutters, boats, RV`s and mobile homes as well to make them look brand new and beautiful again.
