Creating an incredible landscape design begins with a solid plan, and an inherent part of the plan is the materials that will be used.

Most often people think that with the arrival of winter comes the arrival of ignoring our Cleveland Landscape. Certainly you no longer need to cut the grass and water the flowers, but winter actually happens to be the best time, well only time, for dormant pruning.  Although most people don’t know what dormant pruning is, it is actually one of the most effective ways to prune your landscape.

Does your landscaping need a certain something? Does your current landscape design lack form, substance, or personality? If you're looking for a solution to these problems, consider boosting your home's curb appeal with natural stone walkways. Natural stone walkways add texture, dimension, and form to your landscaping. They can take an ordinary horizontal surface and turn it into an artistic focal point.

Adding a pool to your outdoor living space is a great way to enjoy the summer.

Here's a list of the different  types of in-ground swimming pools available.

Old Fairmount Stone is natural sandstone recycled from the old Fairmount water reservoir in Cleveland built in 1885. This historical stone was mined from the Berea sandstone quarries in the 1800’s. For the Fairmount project, large slabs of stone were hand –chiseled down to smaller easy to handle blocks to fit tightly together to hold water in the basin. The reservoir was 1,500 feet long and 700 feet wide. It was divided into two basins by an embankment, one with the capacity of 47 million gallons and the other 33 million gallons.

The key to easy landscape maintenance is the design. If you plan your landscaping with easy maintenance in mind, you'll be able to put your feet up and enjoy your summer instead of pruning, planting, weeding, mowing, and sweating under the hot sun. Of course, a beautifully landscaped yard will always require some maintenance, but well-designed landscaping requires far less than haphazard landscaping.

Here are a few helpful tips to take in consideration when servicing your landscape lighting system.
