One of the biggest worries of homeowners for their yards is “Are the trees in my yard going to survive this summer?” (We’ll talk some more in a later article about the other big worry of homeowners: winter)

You’ve just finished planting a new tree as the centerpiece to your yard. After all, early spring is the perfect time to plant for the optimum growth of your trees. And in late spring your hard work will have paid off. But now comes summer, and new needs for your trees. Surviving that first summer is especially key for trees, and is, of course, still important in years ahead. Continue reading →

Everyone wants a beautiful yard to relax in after a hard days work, for visiting guests to enjoy, and to enrich and add beauty to the neighborhood one lives in. One of the best things one can do and certainly the one which creates the best balance between Man and Mother Nature is creating a yard that will invite the local birds and wildlife.
