The hurricane season for Florida technically is June 1st to November 30th. As we head into the hurricane season, it is important to know what to do in the case of a threat. Review these tips for preparation of the 2011 hurricane season here in Florida.

Let someone out of state know what your plans are before evacuating. If you are asked to evactuate, you should do so without delay. Check that your first aid and hurricane emergency kits are fully stocked. Charge all your rechargable devices such as cell phones, computers, razors and emergency radios. Make extra ice, check that your car has plenty of fuel and fasten your gate latches, window locks, shutters and doors.

Pick up items in your yard such as decorations, hoses, trash cans, wind chimes, grills, tools, bikes, patio furniture and branches because they could be projectiles. Secure your boats, RVs and trailers by anchoring them to the house or ground. If you have time, help your neighbors tidy up because debris in their yards could impact your home and yard as well.

Develop a family plan based on how vulnerable you are to hurricane hazards. Determine safe rooms, escape routes and places to meet in case of an emergency. Make plans for what to do with pets in case of an evacuation. Standby generators are a good idea for when the power goes out.

Make sure you have enough blankets, toiletries, flashlights, tools, and seal important documents in watertight plastic. Have enough cash on you because banks and ATMs may not be available. Have your hurricane shutters and awnings securely fastened for the duration of the storm. Be prepared this hurricane season.

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.

Review these tips on protecting your Florida plants in winter. Plants are an essential element for any Florida landscaping and sometimes keeping your plants safe through the cold becomes an issue as the winter quickly approaches. As proven earlier this month, it can remain below freezing for days in the Orlando area.

Although the preparation for the winter in Florida isn’t as imperative as in other parts of the country, there still are methods to assure your plants remain alive for the spring. Keep some of your plants in hanging baskets and protect them from the chilly air by bringing them in for the winter. Many annuals can survive with indirect sunlight through the window for a few hours a day, as long as the temperature is above 38 degrees. A good way to limit the amount of sunlight required by a plant is to prune it back, limiting the leaves’ surface area for photosynthesis.

Another method to prepare your plants for the winter is to layer some insulation over them such as newspaper, brown paper bags, bark mulch or sawdust. This helps plants remain at a warmer temperature to prevent freezing and also deters any animals from ravaging your foliage. On the rare occasions when it does get below freezing in December, January, or February, heed freeze warnings and use cloth like spare sheets to cover outdoor plants.

Prepare your plants for the winter and keep them for years to come. Do you require any landscaping or pressure washing in the Orlando, Florida area?

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.

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.
