What a great
place to be in the spring – Texas Hill Country. The days are getting longer and
it is finally warming up. We have had a tough, long winter, would you agree? I
am ready to get my yard and landscaping in order, ready to welcome the summer
months and spend some time outdoors. It is time to reclaim our yards from Old
Man Winter and make them our own. Landscaping, such as trees, flowers and stone
walls all show our personality, just as those great new boots and jewelry do
for our outfits every morning when we get dressed. Get ready to design,
install, plant, trim, expand and enjoy your outdoor living space.
Start with
imagining what your goal is, what you want to see accomplished, and a plan to
get there. Be thinking about any new plants, perennials and annuals you may
want added. Imagine, even draw planting designs and gardens you have in mind.
Look online for updated, fresh ideas.
It is time to
have emergent put out. Replenishing mulch will protect the roots of plants and
trees in the coming hot, dry summer months as well as greatly improve the look
of the beds and around trees. Does your hardscape need improvement? Is there a
new pathway in your plan? Are you thinking that retaining wall needs a little
love? Have you decided a pond would add ambience to your outdoor living room?
Do you need or want to add irrigation to water more wisely, not to mention
easier?
Things to keep
in mind while brainstorming, according to Burroughs Landscaping, about your ideas for landscaping are to keep the
area, climate and soil in mind as you are determining your choices.
