When a homeowner chooses to install a permeable paver patio, the benefits are two-fold. On one hand, there’s the positive impact this sustainable structure has on the environment. On the other hand, there’s the positive impact it has on homeowner comfort and safety year-round.
Repairing a landscape lighting system can be a headache for homeowners, from the time it takes to address the issue to the costs that are involved. What many homeowners don’t realize, though, is that common landscape lighting repairs can be avoided altogether — with the right products, installation methods and continuous care.
Mixing textures has become a popular trend in backyard design — with plenty of popular avenues to make this happen. In 2019, we saw a rise in a style of patios that combined different pavers, as well as ornate driveways with decorative borders for added curb appeal.
When the weather is nice, it’s natural for homeowners to want to get outside and enjoy their lawns. This could come in the form of hosting barbecues and pool parties, or something as simple as watching children and pets play together.
While this makes for great experiences, the same isn’t true for your lawn. Heavy foot traffic can ultimately wear out your lawn, thus affecting its health and appearance. (Meanwhile, shady areas that receive far less traffic tend to remain stable.)
The coffee table where you perch your coffee offers hidden storage below to hide knick-knacks. The sofa where you stretch out to watch favorite shows doubles as a pull-out sleeper for guests.
Multipurpose features are a common element sprinkled throughout homes, with many benefits to back this decision. To name a few: they maximize space, reduce costs and minimize the degree of clutter within the home.
Can I do it myself? It’s a question many homeowners ponder when it comes to the installation of sprinkler systems, and that’s for good reason — on the surface, there’s a lot of appeal to saving installation costs, as well as honing your own landscaping skills.
While the proper installation of an irrigation system is crucial to its performance, the importance of irrigation system maintenance can’t be overstated. Think about it like this: You purchase a new car but never change the oil. As time goes on, the engine will start to feel the effects of this missed maintenance step, running less efficiently and eventually wearing itself out.
While many individuals may have an interest in the landscaping field — whether it’s in design, installation or administrative capacity — it can be hard to know how to go about the job search.
Case in point: On any given job board, you may find a number of Cleveland landscaping jobs. You notice that many have similar job titles, responsibilities and even benefits. So how do you know which positions are the best ones to prioritize on your list?
Out with the old (manual watering practices), and in with the new (irrigation systems). That’s the stance of many homeowners — some of whom have already made the move to a sprinkler system and others who are looking to do so soon.
Finding ways to increase commercial property value is an important focus for building owners. The good news is that this doesn’t have to translate into a complete overhaul. With a few minor improvements, building owners can reduce operational costs and enhance the market value of their commercial property. This enables them to increase rent rates under their ownership, and earn back more profits when the time comes to sell.
