Steps to Take In the New Year to Prepare Your Garden for Spring

March 16, 2024

While it can be hard to imagine your frozen, snow-covered backyard in full bloom, springtime will come soon enough. There are several essential steps to take in your garden in the winter months, so it will be in optimal condition once the spring planting season comes around. Read on to learn the gardening steps to take every winter to ensure you have a beautiful, lush spring garden.

Early Winter Gardening Tips
The below steps are ideally completed in the fall or before the first freeze. However, its better to tackle them later than never.

  • Remove dead or diseased parts of the plants to prevent further decay, prevent pests from staying around and encourage new growth once spring comes.
  • If the soil isnt frozen, test the PH to determine if you need to amend the soil with acidifying or alkaline-building materials. Limestone additives will help neutralize acidic soil while adding compost will help if the soil is too alkaline. Since the soil can take some time to adjust, beginning in the winter is a great time to start.
  • Cover cold-sensitive plants with mulch or plant cones.
  • Take inventory of garden tools and equipment. Ensure all your tools are clean and organized and take your existing tools to be repaired or replaced.
  • Be prepared for freezes. Even areas with warmer climates can experience a few nights of frost. Ensure your irrigation system is drained and turned off before the first frost to prevent extensive damage. Also, remove the hose from the spigot, which can cause damage to your homes internal pipes. Stock up on garden tarps to cover any plants that need additional protection against the cold.
  • Use this time to plan for spring. Whether you meet with your landscape architect or your gardener, use the extra time to plan the next phase of your garden and purchase the equipment and structure you need.

Mid-Winter Gardening Tips
As the winter gets colder, you may need to take additional steps to ensure your garden will thrive in the spring.

  • If its an extra cold and snowy winter, your plants may need some additional protection. An extra layer of mulch can go a long way in keeping the plants alive.
  • Once winter sets in and the trees and grounds are bare, walk your property to assess the plants that are dying, if there are areas of erosion or root damage to the walls, pathways or other hardscaping. You can use this time to meet with landscaping firms to develop a solution before the spring.

Late Winter Gardening Tips
During the late winter, when spring is just around the corner, you can consider planting some of the hardier plants. This is also a time to finalize landscaping and landscape architectural plans, so your contractors can begin once their season starts.

  • Plant hardy plants indoors so you can transfer them to the ground once the ground thaws in early spring.

Ensuring you maintain your garden during the winter months will make you feel like youre ahead of the game when the spring gardening season rolls around.

4 Home Features We Can All Appreciate This Spring

March 15, 2024

With the flowers blooming and the birds chirping, theres nothing like getting outside to enjoy the longer days and rising temperatures. Of course, having the right home features can make all the difference, and if you want to get the most out of your spring season, here are a few that everyone can appreciate.

Air Purification System
For some people, this time of year is perhaps best known as allergy season and it can be particularly difficult when theres lots of pollen outside your home. Simply leaving the windows open to a fresh breeze can lead to watery eyes and a runny nose even when youre inside the house, but with a state-of-the-art air purification system, any irritants will be removed to ensure that you can breathe easily.

Three-Season Porch
It might not be time to open the pool up just yet, but you can still reconnect with nature when you have a three-season porch. This extension of the home is essentially a screened-in porch that can be enclosed with glass windows during the spring and fall to trap solar heat when the temperatures are just a little too chilly to sit outside. They can even have a fireplace to ensure everyone stays comfortable on a crisp spring evening.

Verdant Gardens
Who doesnt love having a large garden this time of year? Whether you like to get out there and put your green thumb to the test or simply prefer to sit back and admire its beauty, theres nothing like being surrounded by an abundance of nature after a long, cold winter.

Home Gym
For many of us, it can be difficult to keep up with our fitness regimen in the winter. Between the holiday festivities, inclement weather and short days, we can all be forgiven for not sticking to it. Spring, however, is the best time to get rejuvenated and reenergized, and a home gym will help you get back into a healthy routine in no time.

4 Unexpected Smart Devices for the Home

March 14, 2024

Theres a smart version for just about everything these days. From washing machines to thermostats and home security systems, chances are youre familiar with the vast majority of the latest home technology available. Yet, there are still plenty of lesser-known smart devices that you can bring into the house to make it more efficient and deliver peace of mind. Following are several such pieces of tech that anyone can appreciate.

Smart Plugs
With a smart plug, youre able to turn anything thats plugged into it on and off using your phone or voice commands. At first, you might ask why someone would ever need that. However, if you have an antique lamp, for example, that uses one of these plugs, you can essentially make it a smart lamp and take control of it from wherever you are.

Smart Switches
Youre probably already familiar with smart light bulbs, but another solution for remotely controlling the lights in your home is to install smart switches. With a smart switch, you dont have to worry about getting new smart bulbs every time one burns out, but you still enjoy all of the advantages, like voice and mobile control, so you can turn the lights on before you enter the house at night.

Smart Garage Door Openers
Theres nothing more unsettling than realizing that you forgot to close the garage door before leaving the house. Fortunately, smart garage door openers solve that problem by allowing you to open and close the door with your smartphone. They also recognize when you pull in the driveway, so the door automatically opens upon your arrival.

Smart Water Detectors
The consequences of a water leak can range from a steep monthly bill to a totally destroyed home. Either way, its never a good thing. A smart water sensor can detect if there are any leaks in your house and automatically shut the water off before it causes damage. While this is a practical piece of technology for any residence, its especially useful for second homes where you might not be around to notice when a leak starts.
