We have seen heavy rains and winds over the last few weeks. Are you noticing puddles forming in your yard, pooling of water around your foundation or eroding of your landscaping? A good drainage system is an integral part of keeping your yard and landscape attractive and functional. Without proper drainage, all the time, effort, and money spent on landscaping can be wasted due to improper drainage.

The summer is ending, and you are tired of mowing, watering, weeding and mulching. After summer winds down, many homeowners tend to put lawn care on the back burner until spring blooms anew. While this is a natural reaction to a new season, taking the time to put your lawn and landscape “to bed” in the fall will help you reap the rewards next growing season. Give your lawn a healthy start next spring by managing fall clean up tasks.

While spring is an exciting time to get outside plant, mulch, plan your new patio and get your yard ready for spring and summer, the fall is equally as good of a time to make fall additions to your landscape, plant new trees and shrubs, and build a firepit for those chilly evenings!

Your landscaping is done, your outdoor living space is complete with a kitchen and stone patio, but something is still not giving it the warmth and ambiance you desire. You need an outdoor lighting plan that takes into consideration warmth and beauty but also safety and security.

Trees and plants depend on water, and in the hot summer months, they depend on you to give them the water they need. These tips will help you make sure your trees and plants are getting enough water when they need it.

Creating a dream yard with winding paths, a gracious patio, sitting and retaining walls, a fire pit or maybe a dramatic rock waterfall that sends soothing sounds across your personal sanctuary can represent a significant expenditure.

While many homeowners relish the satisfaction of going hands-on with projects, certain enduring improvements – including the many facets of hardscaping – are best left in the skilled hands of experienced professionals.

Spring and summer bring lush greenery and a procession of vibrant blooms to your outdoor surroundings. Fall, however, is the actual linchpin in creating an evolving, multi-seasonal landscaping show. “The temperatures in September and October – the cooler mornings, the warmer afternoons – deliver the most optimal climate for plants to take into the ground, when roots can grow far, deep and wide and get established,” explains Marcus Celiano, owner of Golden Wolf Landscape & Design, LLC.
