A roof replacement is quite an investment, after all. Unfortunately, sometimes a roof just can't be repaired or has simply reached the end of its lifespan. However, if you do need to replace your roof, you should make sure you know the following things: Not All Roofers Are the Same Different roofing contractors have different reputations. Don't choose a roofer just because they offer the lowest price. Compare bids but look into their reputation as well. It's relatively easy to check with the Better Business Bureau to see if they have a good reputation, and there's plenty of online reviews you can check out as well. A good roofing company will be more than happy to provide you with referrals from previous customers ... Continue reading →

by Robert Smiddy on Jul 18, 2018
Whether you want to purchase plants for your new garden or revamp your current garden, a garden center is the perfect place to browse for plants and learn more about horticulture. That being said, continue reading to learn more about why you should visit a plant nursery this weekend! 1. Each Plant is Properly Attended to Local plant nurseries are great because they usually don’t purchase plants from wholesalers. Instead, garden centers take the time to pick and choose which plants they want to grow and sell. This also means that local plant nurseries have the time to take proper care of each plant individually instead of quickly tending to all of them at once. This ensures that you will purchase healthy plants that you will be able to easily maintain in the years to come. 2. Embrace Local Plants Your neighborhood plant nursery embraces native plants in your area, so you should too. Since larger plant retailers are focused on selling a wide variety of plants from all over the ... Continue reading →
4 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof
by Matt Hopkins on Jul 18, 2018
Regardless of how durable and resilient your roof is, you will eventually have to repair and even replace your roof. Since it’s difficult identifying if it’s time to repair or replace your roof, we’ve created a list of four signs that will make you sure it’s the right time to update your roof. 1. Age Despite common belief, roofs don’t last a lifetime. In fact, a roof repair and replacement is usually needed within a few decades. While it’s hard to pinpoint an exact year you should replace your roof, 20 years is a good estimate. If you don’t know when your roof was installed, you could always contact your landlord, or even play it safe and replace it anyway. 2. Appearance The appearance of your roof tells a lot about the condition it’s in. Firstly, glancing at your roof from the outside of your home is an easy way to see if it’s worn. If you feel comfortable, getting a closer look at your roof will allow you to see if it ... Continue reading →

5 Ways to Maintain a Home Landscape
by Don Gardner on Jul 18, 2018
A good home landscape can really tie a home’s design appeal together. Once your landscape is designed, it’s important to maintain it. That being said, here are five easy ways you can maintain a good home landscape. 1. Do Daily Maintenance Leaves, branches, and other things can easily build up around the outside of your home and a garden. But, if you do daily maintenance, you won’t have to worry about anything excessively piling up. This doesn’t mean that you should do heavy gardening on a daily basis. All it means is that you should at least sweep your home’s landscape once a day or every few days. 2. Tend to the Weeds Although weeds are something that regularly pop up in a garden, they can ultimately ruin it. That’s why it’s important to remove any weeds as soon as you find them. Removing weeds is easier than it seems. Simply utilize a fertilizer or another kind of weed killer to remove them. If you’re up to it, you could even use your ... Continue reading →
