4 Ways to Improve Your Backyard’s Fun Quotient and Beauty for the Summer

It can get a bit too hot on certain days, but if you live in North America, chances are that you generally look forward to the summer months more than the cold winters. Barbecues and pool parties are already starting in some sections of the continent, and in about a month’s time, they will be in full swing. On that note, here are five ways in which you can improve your backyard both visually and functionally for an upcoming, fun-filled summer.

Put in a HotTub

There’s just something about relaxing in a hot tub outdoors during the summer that’s extremely liberating, and if you have not experienced it yet, it is highly recommended that you do. With the help of Simpletoilet.Com, you will be able to find a hot tub that perfectly fits your needs and sets in beautifully with the overall décor of your garden and yard. To make it all the more special and give yourselves a bit of natural privacy, place the tub in a way that the branches of your trees form a natural shade over the top of the tub.

Build a Treehouse

If you have children in the house, build them a treehouse and they will love it. It’s a private place for them far from the watchful eyes of the adults that almost all kids will cherish. The climbing will also help them build strength and coordination, while the added coolness of having your own treehouse might just help them up their social game. As an added bonus, treehouses can also increase the aesthetic value of your outdoor landscape when done right.

Add a Birdbath in the Garden

Adding a birdbath is quite a simple step but this little thing brings in multiple advantages with it. Not only does a well-placed and beautiful birdbath improve your garden’s aesthetics, but it has some serious benefits as well. Their droppings enrich the earth and the birds themselves aerate your garden soil while eating a large number of the harmful pests that can ruin your hard work in a matter of days. Besides, seeing beautiful birds coming and bathing in the birdbath amongst flowers while chirping away is probably the most ideal garden scene ever imagined.

Grow Flowers that Bloom in the Summer

Depending on the exact location we are talking about, the species of plants will differ because not all flowers can take the extreme heat in Florida or the harsher conditions in Texas. Nevertheless, pentas, plumbago, moonflower, hibiscus, blanket flower, verbena and king’s mantle are all good choices as they can usually take the heat and fare particularly well during summer months, as long as other conditions are met as well.

The idea is to improve your yard’s look and feel, without compromising one or the other, and these four ideas fulfill those requirements perfectly. Feel free to add some of your own and make the list longer, but just make sure that your garden doesn’t look over cluttered.

Garden Storage Ideas

You’ve probably been in this situation before, you have too many belongings that don’t fit anywhere in the house but you don’t want to get rid of them either.Who knows when you will start using them again!

 

Despite what minimalists say, some of us aren’t happy with less, with empty rooms or little to no tools to work with, it’s just that we don’t need most of our belongings all the time.

 

Fortunately, you have a garden where you can store some of the things you no longer find a room for in your home.

 

In this article I will show you a few ways you can take advantage of your garden and store your belongings safely.

 

1.Build or buy a storage cabinet

If you need to store a few pots and gardening tools you can build or buy a storage cabinet that can be attached to the walls of your home, in your garden.

Depending on the indoor design of your home you can go for a wood cabinet or a combination between iron and wood.

Keep in mind, that you can’t buy an ordinary cabinet if you plan to place it outside, the wood needs to sturdy and it has to be treated to stand extreme temperatures and humidity.

Another challenge that a wood storage cabinet presents is the fact that in your garden they are plenty of insects that might be attracted by your cabined.So make sure you buy an antifungal treatment for your storage cabinet.

 

2.A temporary shed

If you aren’t sure you will keep your belongings for a long time and you aren’t willing to invest in a shed, there may be another option for you, a temporary shed that resembles a bigger tent.

If you are redecorating or planning to move and you have furniture or bigger objects that need to be stored yet you don’t want to invest in a shed, a temporary shed might be perfect for you.

Tent-like sheds can be used permanently as well, as long as they are changed every 5 years and they save a lot of money as well.

Bigger sheds are like mine-houses, they require a foundation, a roof, sturdy walls, etc.Which means you will spend a small fortune on your shed if you decide to build one.

 

3.Use a wooden chest

A big wooden chest can be a very stylish choice especially if you place it near a table and a a few chairs in your garden.

This option is suited to you if you live in a warmer climate with not many rainy days, but if you do live in a colder climate you can make the switch from an wooded chest to a metal one.

If you don’t want to spend too much on a piece like this, give antiques stores and garages sales a try.

4.Patio Benches with storage

Invest in garden furniture with a storage.

Just lift the cushions from those patio benches and you can place inside the belongings that can no longer be deposited in your home.This is a viable solution for the ones with small gardens who don’t want to clutter their gardens even more with sheds, instead they want to use their small space wisely.

 

5.Use an old office table

Before you throw your old office desk away think about giving it a new layer of paint and placing some pots with flowers on top of it.

You can use the drawers to store tools and the whole look of the old office table with greenery on top will give your garden a whimsical air.

Don’t forget to treat the table office wood before you put in the garden with antifungal spray.

 

6.Put your old mailbox to good use

There are so many things around the house that we can recycle and put to good use.

If you have a bunch of gardening tools and you want to store them near your garden, an iron mailbox will protect them from the rain and harsh weather, plus it will keep them organized.You can paint some flowers or use spray paint over a pattern to give the mailbox a makeover.

 

7.Build a wooden shed

If you have some free time and you are excited at the idea of creating your own shed, they are hundreds of blog articles out there and books that teach you how to build a shed from scratch.

You can decorate it and use it for depositing old toys, blankets, tools or use it as a workshop for other diy projects as well.

garden-storage-ideas

What should I do if I still need some extra space?

Fortunately, they are many self-storage services in UK that you can use to get rid of things you aren’t using at the moment even if your things don’t take that much space.

If you never used a storage space before, there is a size guide you can use to determine how much space you need for your belongings.

5 Ways Lawn Care and Landscaping Pros Can Increase Your Home’s Value

 

Lawn care and landscaping are great for the environment and have been shown to boost your health. What’s more, they are efficient methods of increasing the value of your home

 

Whether you are considering selling your property in the future or you want to keep it in your family, a great-looking yard can boost your kerb appeal and tremendously increase your property’s value. And with the help and insights of a professional lawn care company, a healthy, great-looking lawn and landscape is within reach.

 

Here are five ways that experts in lawn care and landscaping can boost your home’s appeal and value:

1. They use the right tools

Not all yards are easy to work with. Some will require the use of special tools to make them look perfect. While you can rent tools to prune or remove trees and shrubs, it is always less stressful to leave this job in the hands of the experts. By investing in professional hedge trimming and pruning services, the job can be done in no time.

 

Remember that these professionals are equipped to handle various landscaping situations. They will visit your home and assess the situation, taking note of what tools are needed and how much time is required to perform things that are important before installation commences. In turn, this will make the job simpler and faster for property owners.

2. They have years of experience

The knowledge and experience of these professionals are the most valuable assets they bring to your landscaping project. With their years of experience, they can tell you whether you need to change your plan or not.

 

In fact, they may completely disagree with your plan, depending on the location of your home, the amount of sunlight your yard receives daily, and the availability of the land you have. They know exactly what will work and what will not in a particular setting. They also know what type of grass best suits your area and lifestyle.

 

Besides, it is not always about what you want, but about what works best to increase the value and appeal of your home when other people see it for the first time.

3. Professional quality work is guaranteed

You would not allow, for example, just anyone to renovate your kitchen or install your digital TV antenna, so why let someone inexperienced work in your yard? Professional quality work must always be superior. Remember that your landscaping will only look best with the experts’ ability to provide high-quality work.

4. They can execute your landscaping design vision

Knowing that you won’t be responsible for the work and maintenance on your yard is what makes it more likely for you to choose a landscaping design that will complement your home rather than one that is easy to care for.

 

Time is a valuable asset. With professional help, you won’t forgo things that are most important to you just to keep your yard well-maintained. This job will be happily accomplished for you by lawn care and landscaping pros so you can enjoy the benefits of perfect kerb appeal without compromising or losing anything in the process.

5. They perform scheduled maintenance

Another way in which lawn care and landscaping pros can boost your curb appeal and home’s value is with scheduled maintenance. It will be a lot easier to maintain a yard when a professional is doing it on your behalf. Remember that these professionals are equipped to deal with any issues and to repair any damage. Also, they know exactly when your yard needs work.

 

It is easy for you to lose track of time and forget to maintain shrubs or water plants. And this can quickly cause your yard to become a bit overgrown or lifeless. Experts in lawn care and landscaping will ensure that none of these will happen.

 

Of all the improvements to increase the value of your property, lawn care and landscaping often come with the best benefits. Also, these offers the highest return on investment. But for this to be done properly and to get the most for your money, you have to hire the best professional lawn care and landscaping company.

Why You Should Lime Your Lawn In Spring

Although it may not feel like it in many parts of our great (and cold) country, it is, technically, officially spring in Canada. We made it, folks! Lawn care season is just around the corner.

Early spring is an ideal time to lime your lawn, and is a great way to further improve your soil after performing a core aeration on your lawn. If your lawn is wilted or dormant, never apply lime; instead, wait for a time when the lawn is actively growing like early spring or fall.

Regular liming can do a wealth of good for your grass. With a number of benefits, calcitic lime is a welcome addition for every home lawn, especially those that need a little TLC.

With baseball starting and Easter coming fast, it’s hard to deny that spring is here. That means it’s time to start mentally preparing for the lawn care season, even if your grass won’t see any action for a few weeks yet.

Here’s why spring is the perfect time to lime your lawn

Balance Soil pH

When soil is acidic, it becomes extremely hard to grow healthy grass. As the soil acidity gets worse, plant essential nutrients become unavailable for the plant to uptake, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium – the three macro nutrients required for healthy growth. Neutralizing soil pH effectively frees up these essential nutrients, giving your lawn a better chance to thrive.

 

Manage Moss

Unlike grass, moss thrives in acidic soil. Moss infestations are common in shady, moist areas well as many coastal regions with acidic soil pH, where grass finds it very difficult to compete.

Using calcitic lime will help neutralize your soil pH, giving turf a better chance at outcompeting moss, and reducing infestation.

That said, lime cannot kill moss. Although annual lime treatments are very beneficial and a good cultural practice, existing moss infestations may require moss control treatments.

Manage Weeds

Like moss, weeds can thrive in acidic soil. Getting the soil back to optimal conditions, you’re giving your grass a better chance to grow and outcompete weeds. Like a baseball player training during the off-season, it’s important to give your grass an advantage over its competitors.

mowing-curb-appeal-kelowna

Preserve and Protect Your Lawn

While the major benefit of using lime in your lawn is correcting soil acidity, calcitic lime also adds an important nutrient to your lawn; that’s right, calcium.

Calcium helps maintain your lawn’s colour and strength, and also helps protect the lawn from stress, including heat, drought, or heavy foot traffic.

Improve Fertilizer Performance

Liming can help improve the efficiency of your fertilizing efforts by nourishing the good bacteria found in soil. This in turn will make your fertilizer perform better, since the lime optimizes soil pH allowing plant essential nutrients to become available.

Correcting undesirable soil pH conditions prior to and during fertilizer applications is recommended practice.

How To Build a Landscape You Will Love

If a fabulous landscaped property is your dream, but not your reality, then take these steps to build a landscape you’ll love.

First, bring in the professionals. A professional landscaper will have the education and experience to work with you in creating a backyard oasis to make the neighbours jealous.

backyard-patio

Beautiful Decks and Patios in Kelowna

Just like the couch in your living room, much of your landscaping will be designed around the biggest element of the space. In this case, that design element is any deck or patio that our space includes. If you do not have a deck or patio, but wish to have one in your backyard oasis, a great landscaper can build you one, or put you in touch with a professional company who can.

When determining what design of deck or patio will fit your space, also consider any walkways. When building a landscape, you will want your space to flow and considering where their walkways will be and how they will flow, is essential. Also, these pathways will create natural areas within the larger space, lending to smaller landscaping areas creating that one large landscaping area. A landscaper will also be able to lay out all the options for pathways that might include interlocking brick and stamped concrete to name a few.

Sometimes, while trying to plan out a great design space, a bad foundation can get in the way. If drainage is poor because of grading, your dream of a beautiful backyard space might be put on the rails. Retaining walls and a little grading will go along way in preparing your space for greater things.

Adding Water Features to your Backyard

A pool isn’t part of everyone’s backyard oasis, but that doesn’t mean water can’t play a great part in the design of your space. Ponds, streams and fountains, all add serenity and a feel to your design space that can’t be replicated.

Boulders and rock gardens add and fill a space, giving it an earthy feel and can play a big part in hiding or filling awkward spaces within a design. Stonework can define a space, separate a space and can even provide seating. Some rocks are even used as diving boards.

Planting the Right Trees and Plants for your Backyard

Adding colour to anything will bring it to life. Plant life will no doubt be the belle of the ball for your outdoor space and will play a significant role in the design. A professional landscaper will be able to introduce you to a plethora of plant life to suit your design, your budget, and your lifestyle.

The icing on the cake for any outdoor design is lighting. Once all other elements are in place for your design, your landscaper will be able to best place lighting in your outdoor space, giving it the beauty it deserves, even in the evening.

OCI Landscaping , can help you bring your backyard oasis to life. From hardscaping to decks and patios, we are ready to serve you in the Kelowna area.

Salt damage to lawn

How to Combat Salt Damage to Your Lawn

Welcome to 2018, folks! It’s great to see you all in the new year.

With the holidays over and parts of Canada smack dab in the middle of a cold, icy winter, many Canadians are turning to road salts to help stabilize their walkways and driveways.

Lawns suffer enough from the damaging effects that snow and ice can cause over the winter months. Compounding things, adding road salt and sidewalk ice-melter to the equation can make things even worse. Areas of the lawn along the edges of sidewalks, boulevards and driveways are often left damaged in the spring when the snow melts, creating an eye sore and a whole mess of problems to deal with.

dead lawn from salt damage

Here’s how to combat salt damage on your lawn.

Salt Damage

In order to remedy the effects of salt damage to your lawn, one must first learn about what it is and what causes it.

Road salts and ice melters are effectively used to prevent the buildup of snow and ice during the winter months. However, the concentration of these salts that accumulate in places where snow is piled can be very hard on the lawn and the soil – creating damaged areas.

Salt accumulation removes moisture from the soil, preventing it from getting to the plants roots. When this happens plants become dehydrated and die. Salt accumulation also prevents and blocks the plant from absorbing the essential nutrients it requires to grow healthy – including potassium, calcium, and magnesium – instead absorbing sodium and chloride that can become toxic.

Recovery

Now that we know what salt damage is, what can we do to combat it?

To help encourage a quick recovery, aggressively flushing the salt damaged areas with deep water soakings can help leach away the salt below the root levels of the lawn. Core aeration and overseeding practices can also help re-establish turf in the damaged areas, while an application of gypsum will also help free up and break down the salt accumulation in the soil.

protecting landscaping during winter months
By yardmaintenance Lawn ,

What Happens to Your Lawn In Winter?

That’s right folks, the official start of winter is almost upon us. ‘Tis the season for tobogganing, ice skating, and cups of warm hot chocolate. In many parts of Canada, it’s also the season when temperatures drop and lawn’s gets covered in blankets of white, fluffy snow.

Are you curious about what happens to your lawn in winter? If so, this is the blog for you.

Winter Kill

Winter kill is a common term used to describe turf damage that takes place during winter. Most people assume winter kill only happens when snow is covering the lawn, however that is not true. Lawns covered with snow for months at a time certainly do see their fair share of turf damage, but snow alone is not the only factor that causes damage.

Region by Region

Depending on what part of the country you live in, the amount of snow coverage and the length of time the lawn is covered by snow can be significantly different region by region. The majority of Canada, with the exception of coastal regions in British Columbia, regularly experience consistent snowfall and snow coverage for the better part of 3–4 months (specifically December through March). With that being said, these areas can be faced with winter kill damage that’s caused by snow coverage depending on the year.

Snow Coverage

Generally speaking, when a lawn is covered with snow vs. not being covered during the harsh winter months, it’s usually regarded as a positive, considering the lasting effects other factors can have on a lawn. Consistent snow coverage acts similar to a blanket in that it helps insulate the grass plants and their roots from cold temperature extremes. Exposure to these temperature extremes, combined with wind, ice, and freeze/thaw conditions can be very damaging without snow coverage!

protecting lawn in winter

A lawn can experience a range of symptoms during the Winter months, including;

  • Ice damage
  • Low temperature kill
  • Crown Hydration
  • Winter desiccation
  • Salt damage
  • Snow mold damage
  • Snow plow damage
  • Voles damage

How To Avoid Frost Damage To Your Lawn

Don’t look now folks, but December is right around the corner. That means the days are growing shorter, the air is getting colder, and frost is starting to appear on our lawns. Lucky us, right?

Depending on where you live in Canada, you’ve probably started to notice some silver frost blanketing your grass and gardens in the early morning.

While it may be pleasing to the eye, frost can actually be a real problem for your lawn if not properly monitored.

Here are some tips for avoiding frost damage on your lawn

Frost Facts

While many theories exist about how frost damages living tissue, the most common belief is that ice crystals damage and kill plant cells when they are forced into the leaf by the weight of a foot or by other means of traffic across a lawn.

For frost to properly form on grass, many people believe that the temperature must fall to freezing. However, frost can occur in low lying shaded areas even when the official temperature is above 3°c, so you need to be careful depending on where you live in Canada.

Even if it’s not freezing cold outside, frost can still affect your lawn.

Stay Off Your Lawn

Walking over a lawn that is frost covered can cause significant and unsightly damage to the turf. Damage first appears as a blackening of the leaves, which gradually turns to a brown or tan colour. Sounds like a heck of an eyesore to me!

Don’t let this happen to your turf, folks. If and when it does get cold enough for frost, be sure to stay off of your frosted grass until the sun melts the frost away.

frost-damage-to-grass

Test the Grass

Testing your grass after the temperature drops is a foolproof way of ensuring that no accidental frost damage occurs.

A quick test to determine whether it is safe to walk on the grass is to simply take your hand and wipe it parallel along the surface (tips) of the turf.  If your had stays dry throughout the duration of the test, it is still too soon to walk on the turf.  If your hand is wet, then the frost has started to melt and it is safe to walk on.

Plant Your Spring Flowering Bulbs Before Winter

As a lawn and garden enthusiast, you know Winter lawn care like the back of your hand. You’ve applied winterizer to your lawn, raked up all your leaves, and gotten your irrigation blowout done right before the first big freeze of the season. Just another day in the life!

With all these tasks checked off your list, it’s now time to turn your attention towards your flower beds. Depending on where you live in Canada, now is the perfect time to start planting your Spring flowering bulbs before Winter.

It’s no secret that the best compliment to a well-maintained lawn is a beautiful perennial or annual garden. If you want to be the envy of the neighborhood next Spring, make sure to get this task completed before the winds of Winter come to stay.

Here’s why you should plant your Spring flowering bulbs before Winter

Time Your Planting

While planting times may vary depending on your climate, a later date is definitely better when it comes to planting Spring flowers. Fall planting should be done about six weeks before the ground freezes, while Spring planting will require a period of chilling before you plant.

Watching the clock is key when it comes to planting Spring bulbs, as planting too early can lead to fungus or disease problems if not properly monitored. If you plant bulbs while it is still warm, they may also sprout and start to burn up the precious energy they need to save for Spring.

planting-bulbs-early

Add Organic Material

Like adding topdressing to your lawn in late Fall, utilizing organic material like shredded leaves, pine needles, and enriched potting soils at planting time is good for the soil of your flower bed.

Covering your bed in mulch over the winter is also a foolproof way of hiding your bulbs from pesky squirrels and mice.

mulch-leaves-kelowna

Plant At Specific Depths

When preparing your Spring flowering, bulbs should be planted at a depth of 2 to 3 times the height of the bulb. If you don’t think you’ve planted them deep enough, just pile on an inch or more of leaf mulch and soil and create a crafty raised bed.

 

If you’ve ordered your bulbs and they haven’t arrived yet, dig holes where you’ll be planting the bulbs in case an early snowfall occurs. After that, all one has to do is remove the snow from the hole, plant the bulbs, and fill up the hole with soil.

Mark The Area

Make sure to put a stake or marker of some kind in the garden to mark the locations of your bulbs. This will help you avoid accidentally digging up the bulbs while doing future plantings or stepping over them with your bulky Winter boots when working around the house.

Cutting your Lawn for Last time of Season

It’s the final countdown…. to Winter, that is. With just over a month to go before the official start of Winter, now is the time to get your final mow of the season done before the ground freezes and your lawn mower begins its hibernation. Can’t believe we’re here already!

Here is everything you need to know about your last mow of the season.

Mow It Short

The final mow before winter should be adjusted so that the lawn is cut shorter than usual. Adjusting the height between 1.5 – 2 inches  is a good bet. This can help prevent disease over the winter, as longer grass gets easily matted down, making it ideal for diseases to damage the lawn.

Be careful with the height adjustment, though – you don’t want to scalp your grass – so adjusting the height in stages during the last few cuts before the final mow is a good idea.

Don’t forget to raise the mower back up to 2.5 inches for that glorious first mow in the Spring!

Bag The Clippings

When the mowing is finished, remember to bag and compost the clippings if the cuttings start to pile up on your lawn. The less organic material you have on your lawn before winter, the better. fall-cleanup-services

While it’s a common practice to mulch using organic material in the summer, bagging it in the Fall is more ideal because it eliminates clumps that could lead to diseases if left unattended.

Avoid Frost

Avoid mowing your lawn if the ground is dormant, covered in frost, or is already wet. These issues will make the grass clumpy and fragile, and you’ll end up doing more harm than good to your lawn in the long run.

A frost covered lawn should always be stayed off of until the frost has lifted.

Other Maintenance

After finishing up with the mowing, use this to time to tackle other maintenance tasks that you didn’t have time for in the Spring and Summer months. Your mower has gone through a busy stretch, and needs a little TLC to get back into working shape for next season.

You should inspect your mower for damaged parts, install a new spark plug, change the oil, empty the gas tank and remove the dull mower blades for sharpening. For those of you that aren’t do-it-yourselfers, take your mowers to a small engine repair shop or your local hardware store for the necessary repairs.
