Prepping Your Spring Landscaping

If you get a jump on your dirty work first, putting the finishing touches on your landscaping will be a breeze once full-on summer weather arrives. Follow these helpful tips and tricks to prep your landscaping for the new season. Image via www.houzz.com Get rid of all the dead - Before you get to work putting new additions to your lawn, get rid of the "trash" in your yard. This includes, but is not limited to, pinecones, dead leaves or grass, litter, plants that didn't make it through the winter, etc. Prepare your planting beds - If you did your work before winter hit, this job will be much easier on you. Till up and sift through the existing soil in your beds and add in compost to get the soil mineral rich before you plant your summer goodies. Refurbish lawn furniture and ornaments - Dig out your lawn chairs and give them a scrub down as well as a new coat of paint or sealer. Wash the fabric of seat cushions, polish any lighting fixtures, etc. Source

Finding the Right Neighborhood

When you're focused on purchasing or building a new house, the house itself tends to be the only thing on your mind. This is a common mistake that home buyers make, because no matter how perfect your home is, you can't change the neighborhood around it. You won't care how pristine your new home looks when you're too concerned about the crime rate, sky-high taxes, or irritating neighbors. Follow these helpful tips to make sure you relocate to a neighborhood that fits your needs and desires! 1. Visit the area a few times to take a look around before making a final decision. The age-old saying, "never judge a book by its cover," does not apply, here. Your neighbors may not have the fanciest house, but observing how they take care of their house and how they present their abode to the world can say a lot about someone's character. If the lawn looks like a jungle every time you visit, it can be a good indicator that those neighbors are not as tidy as yo
