Tips and Inspiration for Your Lawn and Garden

The holiday season transforms lawns into cheerful, glowing wonderlands—from spooky skeletons and pumpkins in October to twinkling lights and reindeer in December.

Picture this: the doorbell rings, and you’re greeted by a stream of tiny witches, superheroes, and princesses sprinting across your lawn, eager to claim their share of candy.

Cities are rising to meet the challenge of creating healthier, greener communities. Urban planning is no longer just about buildings, roads, and transportation systems—it’s about weaving green into the very fabric of daily life.

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.

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.

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.

Summer marks the peak of tick activity. As temperatures rise and humidity increases, ticks become especially active—right around the time families, kids, and pets spend more time outdoors.

When setting up an outdoor play space for kids, two popular options often come to mind: sand and grass. Both have their appeal, and if you’re fortunate enough to have room, having both can offer the best of both worlds.

Picture this: it’s a warm afternoon, and your kids are darting across the backyard in a blur of giggles and bare feet. The family dog bounds behind them, tail wagging, ears flopping.

Easter is a time of joy, celebration, and gathering with loved ones. Whether it’s hosting an egg hunt for the kids, setting up a backyard brunch, or simply soaking up the spring sunshine, your lawn becomes the centerpiece of the festivities.

Now that spring is here, families are bound to spend more time outdoors while the weather is still warm but comfortable enough for backyard play. Whether it’s running barefoot through the grass, playing tag, or setting up a backyard picnic, a lush, resilient lawn provides the perfect space for children to explore safely.
