The type of landscaping you have in your front yard can affect your yard maintenance and watering costs in addition to provide a beautiful appearance to your home. There are several types of lawn grass you can plant or install in your yard, and here are some benefits of each to help you choose the right type for your yard.
Artificial Turf
The artificial lawn available today is much different than the type used in sports fields several decades ago.
If you have a grass yard, maintaining the lawn is important. If you fail to maintain it, your lush, green yard can quickly turn into a brown or spotty yard. This can decrease the curb appeal of your home and, depending on where you live, cause you to receive warnings or fines from your HOA or city. One of the ways that you can maintain a lush and green lawn is to overseed your yard.
When it comes to lawn tractors, you have hundreds of choices, which can be something as small as a zero-turn radius riding lawn mower to a small sized tractor that can cut grass and use a variety of PTO attachments. If you have a large lawn, you may just want a riding lawnmower to cut the grass; if you do a lot of projects around your home, you may want to have something a little powerful for more functionality.
It may still be snowing right now, but the warm weather is just around the corner. It's time to start thinking about your yard. After the winter you've had this year, your yard is going to need all the help it can get to return to spring time beauty. If you're not sure where to start, here are three steps to help get you on your way.
Bring Your Lawn Back to Life
If you have brick, paving stones, or paving slabs in your garden, patio, or yard, you will need to clean them occasionally to keep your landscaping looking good. Power washing, when done once or twice a year, can remove grime and prevent the growth of algae or mold, leaving your paved area looking great. This is especially important if you are a business owner and want your business to remain attractive and inviting to customers.
