Extending your outdoor season!

We are all a little bit that sad summer is starting to wind down and if you are anything like us you would do anything to extend it. Here are a few things you can do to enjoy your back yard and the summer a bit longer! 1. You need (not want) an outdoor fire place! The perfect fall night is spent making smores by the fire place that is cutting through the crispy air. Sadly, that comes quickly in Upstate New York. The reality is simple in order to be outside when it is cold, yo

Modern Deck Ideas

Decks, well we have been talking about them the last few blogs and there is a reason (a few of them). They provide a great space for entertainment, they have an amazing ROI and they can make your back yard the talk of the town. We wanted to give you some inspiration for your modern deck! #1. Lighting. You don't have to turn the flood lights on anymore to light up the deck for the late night hang outs. With LED rope or lights you can transform the entire feel. From a bright bl

How landscaping affects the sale of your home!

Imagine this: You drive up to what your Realtor thinks will be your "dream home". It has everything that you asked for, the bedrooms, updated kitchen and bathrooms...everything! When you pull up with anticipation the very first thing you notice is overgrown shrubs, the crumbling pavers and the disheveled mess of the front entrance. Even worse imagine that it's your house that is being pulled up to! Curb appeal can be one of the most important things to both the buyer and sell

Lawn care is more than mowing!

How many of us have dreamed of having "that lawn" - you know, the one that sticks out because its full, has no crab grass and is perfectly green? That doesn't happen by running the mower once a week and raking the clippings. That takes time that most of us don't have or would rather spend with the family! Here is a list of lawn care options that a professional company should be able to provide or things you can take care of on your own to create the perfect yard! 1. Weekly La

Fighting Ticks and Mosquitoes

We all know the fight of ticks and mosquitoes in the northeast but many of us are not aware that there are lawn care and methods to help protect your family and lawn against them both! While these methods are not exhaustive we have added a few other tools we have found handy as well. Mosquitoes: These guys are so pesky and obnoxious.

That was so expensive!

Landscaping investment is the best ~ Bold statement but let me prove it to you! We've all tried a "new food" and absolutely hated the choice. One of the worst things is making a purchase and having to regret it! Even worse is when that choice lasts for a decade! Cheap: Often times that is what happens with Landscaping. People will receive multiple quotes, compare them and then choose based off the cost and company reputation. Many times the cheap landscaping quote wins the bi

Overlooked lawn safety procedures!

I know, you already "know" but that is what almost every single person says. These statistics prove otherwise. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons "more than 532,000 ladder injuries, nearly 119,000 garden tool-related injuries and approximately 226,000 lawn mowing injuries were treated in hospital emergency rooms, doctors' offices and clinics in 2007". That is a staggering number and most are avoidable with simple safety precautions. Lawn Mower Safety:

Sick and tired of being stuck in the house?

Here's three things you can do right now as we enter Spring! #1. Trees and Shrubs It is a perfect time to start trimming back what might have been damaged in the winter. When trimming and pruning you want to cut back to the "live stems" so they are prepped for the growing season! This will help with healthy and consistent growth over the entire season! #2. Beds and Borders The dead leaves and foliage that may have fallen into your beds and on the borders over the long winter
