New Year’s Resolutions

Resolve To Make These Changes in 2016

It’s that time of year again. Each December, we make New Year’s resolutions that we intend to follow through on. Most of us vow that we are going to finally lose weight, eat healthier or work toward that promotion. This year, once the winter blues have faded and the champagne glasses have been toasted, spice things up a bit and set attainable goals (with a landscaping twist).

Landscape Resolutions for 2016

  • Develop a plan. This year and beyond, resolve to think and carefully plan before making big changes to your property. By working with a professional, you can define your landscape design tastes, implement them and have a beautiful property, year-round. At Parker Homescape, our experts coordinate flower color with leaf color to ensure that your landscape looks absolutely stunning, and we select plants based upon their bloom times so that your property is bursting with color, season after season.
  • Account for wildlife. Do you want to attract or repel wildlife, particularly deer? The plants you choose, as well as the landscape design, will do one of the those things. From “deer resistant” plantings to fencing to complete control programs, a landscape design professional will help protect your plants, your lawn and your entire property from these beautiful, but sometimes bothersome, visitors.
  • Don’t overlook landscape lighting. You have a beautiful home, a picturesque backyard, and an inviting outdoor living space. By installing low-voltage landscape lighting, your open-air oasis can come to life after the sun sets—allowing you to enjoy your time outdoors well into the evening.
  • Don’t over- or under-water. It can be tricky to know just how much water your plants need, and it can certainly be tempting to give your entire landscape the same amount of water at the same time. Unfortunately, though, different plants do have different watering needs—and over-watering and under-watering can cause a multitude of problems. If you’re unsure of how to keep your plants and landscape at the perfect watering level, contact a landscape design professional.
  • Stop and smell the roses. This is the most important resolution. You’ve put so much time and energy into your landscape, so why not enjoy it? Spend more time appreciating your yard, relaxing on your patio or unwinding by your pool. Simply put, take time to “stop and smell the roses.”
