The Perfect Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen can take your backyard from ordinary to extraordinary. Bringing your kitchen outdoors  is one thing you may have never thought of, but may change the way you cook forever. An outdoor kitchen allows you to spend summer evenings outdoors rather than having to run back and forth between inside and out to prepare a meal. A complete outdoor kitchen should have all the essentials for preparing a meal. These essentials include a sink, storage, small refrigeration, and of course a grill. An outdoor kitchen should also have proper lighting and counter space to prepare meals. A pavilion is a great idea to provide a covered area for dining and cooking.

Winter Is Here...Are You Ready?

This morning we received the first snowfall of the year! Along with that comes cold temperatures. Cold temperatures can lead to problems if you don't prepare correctly. Here are some great tips to prevent any troubles this winter

Disconnect all garden hoses from their accompanying water spigots - Leaving the hose on your water spigot may cause your spigot to crack, leaving you with some troubles.

DO NOT salt your driveway - Salt has an eroding effect on concrete and asphalt. While salt may do a great job at getting ice off your driveway, it will significantly reduce the life of your concrete and can be harmful to your pet.

Bump Up Your Humidifier - The winter is the driest time of the year. Low humidity in a home can cause shrinkage in your home, resulting in cracks in materials such as drywall. Low humidity can also be very bad for furniture and musical instruments.

Clear Gutters - Although unlikely, it is possible for ice to build up in your gutters, which may cause expensive leaks. To prevent this, clear any debris from your gutters before the snow melt.

Its time to winterize your lawn!

Its that time again! Winter is right around the corner. If you want your grass to come back nice and green in the spring we recommend you use a winter fertilizer on your grass before it gets to cold. The best time to winterize your lawn is right after your last grass cutting of the season!
