Last time we spoke of ways to improve your Curb Appeal, and yet we so barely touched on Yards that I felt taht it deserved its own blog. So here we are, getting ready to help our yard. Here are a couple of things you can do to help your yard and curb appeal:
1) Design It Right
Look at the yard you are working with and optimize it for its existing curves. Focus on areas where you see lots of lights and rain gather for plants and avoiding wind.
2) Amend Your Soil
If you want healthy plants, you have to start with healthy soil. Be sure to use compost to help your soil retain water absorption and help in warm weather.
3) Group Plants Together
Based on the plants you have/want, and their needs, group plants accordingly to help give them and your yard the best chance of shining.
4) Incorporate Native Plants
There is a massive movement towards minimizing water use, and a great way to do that is to use plants that are native to the area and are used to conditions such as rain fall, etc.
5) Water Early In The Morning
It is harder for plants to absorb water later in the day when the sun is beaming hot on them. Give them their best chance by watering in the morning so that they can absorb as much as possible.
6) Fertilize Lawn
Fertilizing your lawn before you water helps it to be nice and green and healthy. Many people look at a healthy yard and are happy to maintain it, and not have to work to get it healthy.
