Tips and Inspiration for Your Lawn and Garden

You’re ready to fill in bare patches or start a brand-new lawn with bermudagrass plugs—but whether you shop in-store or place an order online, the quality of those plugs will directly affect how quickly your lawn takes shape.

Imagine enjoying a sunny afternoon in your yard, soaking in the scenery, when a sudden sting shoots through your foot. You look down and find the culprit—sandspurs scattered across your lawn.

The sun's out, the grill’s going, and the kids are splashing in the water. The pool deck becomes command central—wet feet race back and forth, lounge chairs scrape across the grass, and towels drop trails of water along the way.

Downsizing often comes with a welcome sense of freedom—fewer rooms to clean, less space to manage, and a more intentional way of living. For many retirees and homeowners seeking a lifestyle with less physical upkeep, moving to a smaller home also means rethinking the yard.

For many homeowners, the dream of a lush, green lawn doesn’t always begin with a full sod install. Maybe it’s the budget. Perhaps it's time. Or you're probably still figuring out how you want your outdoor space to look.

If you’ve ever started a lawn project—whether building one from scratch or patching up a few bare spots—you know it takes some planning to get it just right. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, you end up with more material than you need.

For renters, it can feel like there’s always a trade-off between wanting a beautiful, green yard and sticking to a lease. You dream of a lush lawn where you can lounge, grill, or let the dog roam—but when you’re renting, full-scale renovations rarely make the priority list.

A fresh coat of paint might spruce up the front door, but if the lawn is bare and patchy, it’s the first thing potential tenants will notice—and not in a good way. For landlords and property managers, first impressions are everything.

In today’s backyard, space does double duty—sometimes, even more. It’s where we host weekend barbecues, grow container gardens, and let kids and pets run wild. For many families, one of the most beloved features is the trampoline, bringing hours of bouncing fun and fresh air.

The 4th of July is more than just fireworks and BBQs—it’s a full-on backyard event filled with games, gatherings, and good times. But all that movement—kids chasing each other, adults socializing, pets darting about—can leave your lawn looking sad and trampled.

Is your lawn not quite living up to your expectations? Whether it's patchy in places, dull in color, or simply too high maintenance, the solution doesn’t always mean tearing it all out and starting over.

You finish mowing the yard, step back to admire your work—and there they are: soggy, uneven trails of clumped-up grass ruining the whole look. It’s not just annoying—it’s a problem.
