Spruce it up!
Do you have an outdoor space? Are you trying to entertain guests or just relax? Or just looking for a project this offseason? No matter what kind of budget or outdoor space you have you can make it something unforgettable. It’s not always about what kind of things you have in your space, it’s how you make it feel and work together. This is the concept of Feng Shui Shui. Feng Shui is best described as balancing the energy in your space to create more harmonious living. This can be done through furniture, lighting, psychical spacing and the over mood/ambiance of the room. So regardless of your patio space and what things you have in it, it’s about how it makes you feel. From tiny balconies to large gardens we have all the tips and tricks you need to know to create your dream space and create that harmonious vibe. Keep reading to learn Outdoor Patio Design 101!
Let’s Consider Wants, Needs, and Space
So you wanna create a new patio space? That’s great! Building and designing your area is a lot of fun and can be rewarding. However, before you start doing anything we recommend you check with the city and/or HOA on what you can and cannot do. If you plan to build any kind of structure you may need the proper permits. The best place to start is with a basic drawing and consideration of things you want or need to have on your patio. Do you want a space for parties? Do you want a private more personal space? Most people design their space for a mixture of both, so keep that in mind as well. As you are dreaming and drawing your dream patio you may want to take some basic measurements. Knowing the size and what you can accommodate is essential, you don’t want to miscalculate by any means. Location is also very important to think about. Are you planning on building a space to cook? Maybe you want to be close to your house and its kitchen? Having easy access to what you need will save you a lot of hassle in the long run. All of these things are just the start of what you want to think about to get the ball rolling on your new dream patio.
The best part of creating a patio space means you get to have the creativity to do whatever you wish. There are no rules, nothing you have to follow! If you can dream it, you can make it happen! The best and most common materials to use are Concrete, Wood, Stone, Brick or even Pavers. They can drastically help transport your patio design to the next level. Just be aware of the budget, whose going to build it, and what it will be used for. Keep reading for a quick rundown of each type of material.
Often the cheapest and easiest kind material to work with. On average, Concrete can cost anywhere from 8-10$ per square foot. The great part about working with concrete is how it can easily be shaped, stained, stamped or colored. With Concrete, you have a lot of freedom to customize.
Pavers are hard blocks made of concrete, clay, natural stone, and other recycled materials. Pavers are a great option to consider because they are easy to work with and create a smooth service. They come in many different shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Think of it like laying brick down on the ground. Pavers are great because almost anyone can lay them and they average around 14$ per sq foot.
Last but not least we have flagstone, arguably the best-looking material one can use for their patio. Flagstone is just a wide form of Sedimentary rock that comes from quarries. You can get Flagstone in almost any form of shape or color. Typical flagstone look is a natural, earthy looking irregular cut stone. However, they can be shaped in a Rectangle pattern and even stained in many different colors. Because of this Flagstone can range anywhere from 15-30$ per square foot, but its worth it if you want a great-looking patio.
The Fun Stuff
Now that we’ve discussed the basics of patio design we can get to the fun stuff. There are so many fun ideas and products to consider for your patio. Let’s start exploring! The possibilities are endless.
There’s nothing more exciting and good looking than a beautiful outdoor kitchen. With beautifully polished stainless steel and decorative brick or stone why wouldn’t you want one? Host an outdoor party and take your grilling to another level.
Create a cozy environment with an outdoor firepit! Firepits create a perfect opportunity for entertainment, cooking and providing warmth as the sun goes does. When designing your patio a firepit could often be considered your main attraction, so consider a firepit early on. Additionally, firepits can be custom-built or added on later with a more simple out of the box product. Regardless, don’t forget to add a fire pit to your patio today! Click Here to see our wise selection of firepit products available today (https://www.usapooldirect.com/outdoor-lifestyle/firepits)
Whether in the pool or on the patio there are many lighting options to complement your space. Lighting is great because it provides much more than you would think. Lighting helps set the tone of the space, or better yet known as ambiance or mood. You may not think much of it now, but when the moment strikes and you are winding down your long day there is nothing better than relaxing in a well-lit area than just created a perfected mood.
Start contemplating how you are going to turn your space into something unforgettable. Consider your needs, wants, budget and size requirements. No matter how small space or budget you the creativity and a wide list of options to help you out. Once you decide what exactly you want to do, you need to consider material and labor. What material is going to look best or be the most cost-effective for you? Then after that, you get to have some fun. Lighting, grills, firepits, and much more are what make it your own. But it is important to consider all that now to make sure you can fit it all into your space and budget.

He resodded my lawn, planted numerous (low maintenance) plants, took down the two dying trees, power washed our patio, and remulched our gardens-- it looks like a whole new place! The work he did would have taken my husband and I weeks to do (not to mention, require renting a power washer and a stump chipper), and it would never have looked so nice! Plus, his prices were very reasonable.
Since our outdoors looks so great, I probably won't need help out there for awhile, but when I do, I'm calling Freddy!
Freddy and his crew did a great job and tackled my weed yard into a calm and relaxing place to be.
Even better he got it all done in a day. Responsive and professional. Will be using them again.
Highly recommend you give them a call -- Freddy and his team did an awesome job turning our backyard urban mudfest into a garden with a groovy patio. Last fall, our dogs raced around in our yard, ruined our lawn, and we had just the smallest concrete patio. Though I play in the flowerbeds and do my own gardening, I had certainly not been working on the sod nor am I a patio builder. We called, and Freddy IMMEDIATELY called us back upon initial inquiry (same day), came out the next day to measure & talk through our potential project.


Birds can be drawn to a bird feeder, but this alone won't keep them coming back. To create a lasting habitat, it's important to provide native plants that offer food, shelter, and nesting sites. Local flora is best suited to the soil and water conditions of your area and is adapted to meet the needs of the local wildlife. Choose a variety of plants, including those that produce nectar, fruit, seeds, and nuts. Local gardening and birding clubs, as well as government resources, can provide information on the best plants to choose from.
Clean water is also an important factor in attracting birds. Birdbaths are a great way to offer water, but you can also enhance their appeal by setting up a slow, steady drip. This can be accomplished by placing a plastic bottle with a small hole above the birdbath. The sound of dripping or flowing water is especially attractive to birds.
Nesting is another critical element in creating a bird-friendly backyard. Nest boxes and platforms can provide birds with a place to lay their eggs and raise their young. Additionally, encouraging lichens and spiders can help smaller birds, like gnatcatchers and hummingbirds, to construct their nests. Providing natural materials like cotton batting and twine can also help birds build their nests.
Creating a bird-friendly backyard takes time and effort, but the rewards are well worth it. By providing food, shelter, water, and nesting sites, you can attract a diverse array of bird species and create a beautiful natural habitat in your own backyard.

In recent weeks, my morning walk from the east end of Glasgow into the city centre has been accompanied by the roar of pneumatic drills and the tang of warm tarmac. Main roads have been resurfaced, shop-fronts have been refurbished, waste ground has been landscaped. Even the local chip shop has been given a makeover.
The outbreak of spring cleaning is part of a major effort to ensure that Glasgow looks its best for the athletes, spectators and media attending the 20th Commonwealth Games, which open on 23 July. But it’s also an attempt to breathe new life into a long-neglected part of the city. Continue reading


Artificial turf is mainly made of polyethylene plastic grass and with in-fill base of crumb rubber from ground up recycled tires. It was first used to lay playing surfaces for sports like field hockey and golf, and since then the use of fake lawns has spread to adorning the yards of homes and other buildings across the world. Having a nicely manicured lawn in front of a home is the desire of every house owner as it adds to the aesthetics of the building and adds value to the social life of the residents. By choosing artificial grass, you can have the best of both worlds: an improved landscaping of your home and virtually zero maintenance. The same holds good for buildings like large office complexes, shopping malls, business centers and even the lawns outside the sporting stadia. There are several companies supplying and installing artificial grass Perth wide. Your search for installing forever fields and lawns can virtually end with any such source.
Pros of artificial grass plantation
· The maintenance cost is low: In the beginning, the cost of this endeavor can be higher, but proponents claim that maintenance won’t be very high.
· No pesticide: Unlike natural grass, artificial turf doesn’t need treatment with pesticides and fertilizers.
· Increase in playability: The durability of turf is more than grass as playability is much higher. It is beneficial to sports organizations as games cannot get cancelled because of climatic conditions.
· Less injury: Grass gets torn by rough play, but nothing like this happens on an artificial field.
· No use of water: Watering of the grass is not needed in artificial fields to the extent one has to do with the natural ones. Only when a fast paced game is on and if the turf gets heated up, some amount of watering is done to cool the playing surface.
How to build an artificial grass lawn
There are companies that sell artificial grass Perth wide, and they provide easy installation of the same as well. They follow a ten step process, and the steps are:
· Ground cleaning
· Base height
· Gravel Sub base
· Compacting the base
· Forever lawn layout
· Cutting the grass
· Securing and seaming
· Rubber infill
· Clean up
After completion of all these stages, the process of making an artificial turf field is complete.
Artificial turf, an alternative to real grass
If you have difficulty trying to maintain your lawns, tending to it frequently, or if you live in a climate where you have to keep watering your lawn, then installation of artificial turf is definitely a good option. In many homes, green grass has been replaced by synthetic grass, which has led to the forever lawns. For those who are inclined to do these activities by themselves, the shops which sell artificial grass Perth wide even supply the DIY kits which one can buy and do the installation. They will provide complete tips and step by step procedures to install the synthetic grass lawn, including the removal of the existing grass and preparing the surface.

Effective Green & Gray Infrastructure
Most people are familiar with “gray” water infrastructure — the hard, concrete and metal pipes, holding tanks, pumps, water tunnels, and treatment plants. These systems play a key role in managing drinking water, wastewater and combined-sewer systems.
“Green” infrastructure is a newer approach to stormwater management that mimics nature by capturing stormwater so it can either be reused or seep into the ground where it falls, rather than flowing into underground sewer and storm pipes. Methods for stormwater capture include rain gardens, pervious pavement, planted swales, and storage containers such as cisterns and rain barrels. Green-infrastructure features can help reduce stress on water systems and can provide good local jobs, as well as making the communities where they’re installed healthier and more beautiful.
Both gray and green infrastructure are important components of water infrastructure systems statewide. Communities with combined sewer systems in particular will be evaluating gray- and green-infrastructure approaches to come up with the best combination that meets regulatory requirements cost-effectively and in a manner that provides tangible community benefits.

The Green Infrastructure Exchange Has Launched!
The exchange is a new practitioner network that supports, via accelerating peer learning, innovation and implementation, managers of public green infrastructure programs seeking to adopt and grow green stormwater infrastructure programs.
New Guidance: Designing Parks and Public Spaces with Green Infrastructure
Jersey Water Works Green Infrastructure Committee issues design recommendations.
The Jersey Water Works Green Infrastructure Committee has released recommendations for designing new parks and public spaces with green infrastructure to manage stormwater. Green infrastructure features allow parks and public spaces to manage stormwater, control flooding, and improve water quality in ways that complement and can even enhance their other functions. Green infrastructure features can be especially useful in flood-prone areas and in cities that need to reduce combined sewer overflows.


Roses have long been the favorite of backyard gardeners, and they continue to enjoy such a great popularity today. Along with their attractiveness as cut flowers or bouquets, roses are among the most valuable and alluring blooms to favor the surroundings of any property.
Actually, the outdoors of any property can be made more stylish and attractive with the use of these amazing roses. Looking for the right type of flowers that will complement the general style of the home is very important.
Why Choose Roses
Looking for decorative roses to plan is a fairly easy job. The difficulty lies in selecting the most appropriate ones for your garden. There are numerous classes of roses which features make them the most ideal landscape ornamentals. The gardener that grows roses over a trellis or archway may opt to use the tall tea rose variant. Tea rose bushes are known for their droopy blooms. As such, all those who will walk under the rose-clad arches will enjoy the panoramic view of the flowers as they bloom.
To accent a wall structure or other permanent construction, a climbing rose is frequently the most feasible choice. These roses may be customized to create many different outcomes, such as growing up the entire structure, particularly the sides and tops a building or wall.
What Variants to Pick
A Polyantha or Floribunda rose is an ideal choice for backyard gardeners who are looking for an exciting splash of color for the background. These kinds of roses have got huge blossoms, thus making them the most popular choice for supplying color to the landscape.
When roses are to be planted facing other plants in the landscape, the low-expanding or miniature China roses are an excellent choice. Roses can also be grown to create hedges. For this, Rugosa and shrub roses are your excellent selections.
Working with Colors and Styles
Of course, like with any aspect of growing plants, color is always the most essential consideration. In fact, every gardener’s goal is to make a landscape that’s full of colors with the use of attractive and healthy plants. Thankfully, roses are developed to assume many styles, sizes, textures, styles and colors. There’s truly a rose that suits your ornamental needs.
The goal of choosing the best shade of roses for the landscape must be to complement the color of the surrounding areas. A group of white roses is striking against a wall of bricks. Or perhaps a splash of pink roses is perfect to go with stone or pebble entranceway. With a lot of colors to work with, it’s simple to install the ones that will enhance your garden.
Get Help from the Professionals
A known practice in landscaping is using different flowers and plants in your garden. While individual species was the best thing in landscaping before, today’s gardeners love to using a blend different species, styles, and colors. Doing so doesn’t make a vibrant garden, but it enhances the soil’s health as well. If you need help in choose the most ideal flowers for your garden, look for Racine landscaping companies to help you out in planning and building the perfect rose garden.


Multifunctional roofscape centre in Rotterdam - Resilient cities in the world!
Netherland is one of the first countries to increase renewable energies use. In Rotterdam, is growing the idea of multifunctional roofscapes to contribute to sustainability and viability.
Rotterdam was the first municipality in the Netherlands to successfully implement green roofs, currently counting more than 250.000 m2, with the goal of increasing this to 1,000,000 m2 across the city centre. As part of its climate adaptation strategy, Rotterdam received a C40 Cities Award for its work in this area.
Techniques for greening roofs now include urban farming, solar panels, water storage and even sports facilities. These spaces can contribute enormously to the sustainability and viability of the city centre, addressing challenges related to water, greening, renewable energy, air quality, and lack of space.
A program for large-scale green roofs retrofitting offers a distinct added value to Rotterdammers by encouraging a combination of integrated solutions (such as solar panels above a green roof) for a higher return. In practice, this means more water storage, increased permeability of the urban area, energy generation, greater ecological value, food production, cleaner air, health and social cohesion amongst other benefits.
Finally, the program has the potential to be revolutionary for the city centre and can be deployed at short notice without major issues. The program is currently in a preparatory phase. One specific roof is part of EU-Life-funding. The City seeks examples of best practices in other cities and additional funding.

The works have already been awarded to create a route for cyclists and pedestrians on the northern corner of the city.
The final cost to build the new greenway is 970,000€, of which 50% will come from the European Union and the rest financed through subsidies created by the Generalitat Valenciana.
As for the work itself, the new cycle path and pedestrian walkway are all part of a master plan that will see every neighbourhood in Alcoy connected by bike path.
The new 9-kilometre route will also connect to the many greenways that surround the city and link up with Cocentaina by utilizing the old railway line.
By building the bike path and pedestrian walkway on the old Alcoy to Gandia railway line Alcoyanos can now cycle from the mountains to the Mediterranean coast along what will be one of the longest greenways in the entire Valencian Community.
Rather than a single lane track as is common with many urban bike paths or cycle lanes, the new link between Alcoy and Cocentaina will have two lanes, one for each direction of the path.
Alcoy is committed to not only becoming an environmentally friendly city, as has been seen in the decision to use electric buses and electric city vehicles, but also in encouraging residents to forgo their cars in favour of walking and cycling.

New sculpture at Crymlyn Burrows will celebrate the beauty and biodiversity of the area
This week, a new sculpture will be installed at Crymlyn Burrows to celebrate the wildlife and diversity of the protected coastal site and its importance to the local community.
The sculpture has been designed by a Welsh Artist Blacksmith to incorporate key elements of the landscape, whilst also reflecting the commitment to improve the habitat for people and wildlife, long into the future.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Sunday 16th July for visitors of the Burrows and the wider community. The event will be attended by high-profile guests from Swansea University, Natural Resources Wales, Plantlife and other partner organisations and will have many family-friendly nature activities to encourage visitors to explore the dunes.
Coastal sand dunes are listed as the habitat type most at risk of biodiversity loss in Europe , and Crymlyn Burrows is a vital refuge in an area of high development. The dunes and salt marsh here are home to rare and specialist wildlife, including dune tiger beetles, orchids, and brown-banded carder bees. The area also provides a space to connect with nature for both the students at Swansea University Bay Campus and local residents.
Swansea University, working together with Dynamic Dunescapes and Buglife, have been carrying out habitat restoration works to improve the condition of Crymlyn Burrows. One of the major threats to sand dunes is uncontrolled vegetation and invasive species growth which smothers the dunes and has a devastating effect on the specialist plants and invertebrates which live there, many of which are adapted to live in bare or moving sand. To help restore the habitat, the excess vegetation has been removed mechanically with volunteers helping to remove any regrowth. It is hoped that these works will allow the Burrows to flourish again and secure the site’s future as an important place for people and wildlife.
Ben Sampson, Swansea University Sustainability officer and Crymlyn Burrows Warden, said:
“Crymlyn Burrows is one of the last remaining pockets of wilderness around the Swansea Bay coast, its dunes and marshes home to an amazing range of plants and animals. Having such an important area for wildlife so close to the city and free for all to explore makes it a wonderful place for people to experience nature on their doorstep, and all the more special”.
Created by Welsh Blacksmith James Eifion Thomas the sculpture has been designed as a gateway for people entering the site. Its ornate arches will welcome people as they begin their journey and provide a glimpse of the landscape in store. In time, a second sculpture will be installed at the other entrance to the Burrows – designed as a pair, this second sculpture will reflect some of the larger landscape features and influences of nearby Baglan Burrows.

Hannah Lee, Wales Engagement Officer for Dynamic Dunescapes, said:
“This sculpture will really help to create a sense of arrival for people visiting Crymlyn. We’ve designed it to include elements of the site that local residents connect with the most and you’ll see it has butterflies, birds, dragonflies and more intertwined in it. We want it to represent not only the now, but also the past and future of the site”
Local residents, students and the wider community are encouraged to attend the unveiling event where there will be free refreshments, along with a Bioblitz, guided nature walks and a scavenger hunt.
The event is free to attend and is co-hosted by Dynamic Dunescapes, in partnership with Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, Swansea University, Neath Port Talbot Local Nature Partnership, Buglife, Amphibian and Reptile Conservation trust, Sands of LIFE and the South East Wales Biological Recording Centre (SEWBReC). Dynamic Dunescapes is a project working to restore coastal sand dune habitats for people, communities and wildlife across England and Wales, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. Project partners are Natural England, Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, National Trust and Wildlife Trusts. Plantlife and Natural Resources Wales are leading on the engagement works taking place in Wales. The Dynamic Dunescapes project, Swansea University, Natural Resources Wales and Plantlife are grateful for the support for this work from the landowners of Crymlyn Burrows, St Modwen.

Here is a small collage of the variety of roses that are in the garden. The one in the center really stood out with its lovely cream and pink tinged petals.
Here are some pics of the historical library. It was built in the late 1920's or early 1930's. It is still used as a local library.
It has some lovely architectural details from that era.
I'm not sure when the rose garden was planted but it is filled with roses and hybrids that bloom at different times in the summer months. These roses were blooming in mid June.
A collage of roses and hybrids including dogwoods from last week.
It was a little windy that day so my hubby held the flowers still for me so I could get better pictures. I love the little buds that are just starting to bloom.
More closeups of my favorite flowers in the garden. These roses were just exquisite. They smelled wonderful as well. We were almost speechless when we saw these. My hubby loved them as much as I did.
I softened the image of this one because it was a little windy and it blurred the image a bit. The soft pink is so pretty.
Most of the roses that were in bloom last week were different shades of pink.
Really loving this fuchsia one!
It was an overcast day but the images still came out well in spite of it. I hope you enjoyed my little tour of the rose garden. There's nothing quite like roses any time of the year.
Thanks for stopping by.

Trees are eye-catching additions to a landscape and may add value to a property. Unfortunately, they are also prone to damage from the elements.
The first step is to find Tree Service Irvine CA. Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations, or search online. Look for companies with proper insurance coverage.
Trees add beauty to landscapes and increase home value, but they can also be a health and safety hazard if they are dead or damaged. If a large branch falls and damages your home, car, or property, it’s important to call a tree removal service right away. These professionals are specially trained to cut down and remove trees. They’re able to do this safely and efficiently, so that the damage is minimized.
In addition to removing a tree, a reputable tree service will also clear up the stump and roots. This is an extra cost that can range from $150 to $500. The size of the stump and the root system will play a role in the price. The best way to save money on this is by having the stump ground down when you first remove the tree. This will help prevent the growth of new trees from sprouting around the original stump, and it will make mowing and other yard work much easier.
The height of the tree will play a factor in its removal cost as well. Smaller trees (30 feet or less) are typically cheaper to remove than taller ones. Taller trees, however, aren’t only more expensive to remove; they’re also more dangerous to take down. Trying to remove a tree yourself without proper training and equipment can be very dangerous, and it’s best left to the professionals.
If the tree is growing too close to power lines or other structures, it’s important to have it removed as soon as possible. The team at Holly Expert Tree Service can trim and prune branches so that they don’t fall into power lines or block driveways and sidewalks. They can even remove entire trees if needed.
Many areas require a permit before a tree can be removed, so it’s important to check with your city before beginning any work. It’s also a good idea to prepare your yard before the job begins by clearing any vehicles out of the way and removing any breakable items. This will help ensure that the workers aren’t distracted by objects falling from the trees during the removal process.
Trees need periodic pruning to maintain their health, shape, and safety. It stimulates growth, increases air circulation, and removes dead or diseased limbs. In addition, it reduces wind resistance, which can lead to storm damage. Proper pruning can also help prevent decay and insect infestations. However, this task can be dangerous if you don’t have the proper equipment or training. Therefore, it is a good idea to leave this task to professionals from a tree service.
A reputable company should offer a wide range of services. This may include tree removal, pruning and trimming, land clearing, and stump grinding. They should also be licensed and insured. This will ensure that the workers are qualified and can provide quality work. In addition, they should be able to handle any size project.
When choosing a tree service, be sure to select one that is accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). This organization offers accreditation to companies that meet certain standards. These include adherence to the TCIA’s safety programs, a commitment to ongoing education, and a dedication to ethics and quality in business practices.
Another important factor to consider when choosing a tree service is their experience and reputation. A reputable company will have a good track record and can provide references from past clients. They will also be able to answer any questions that you might have.
In addition to removing dead limbs, a tree service will prune trees to promote health and beauty. For example, they may trim the limbs of a fruit tree to improve its yield or cut back branches that are obstructing a structure, sidewalks, or power lines. They will also take into account the age of a tree and its growing zone when determining a pruning schedule.
Pruning is a delicate job that requires extensive knowledge of plant anatomy and physiology to be done correctly. Improper pruning can cause irreparable harm to a tree, including the need for costly repairs. A professional arborist will understand the best methods for each species of tree and how to prune them without damaging their appearance or structural integrity.
Trees can suffer from a wide range of conditions and diseases that threaten their health, beauty, and safety. A certified arborist is skilled at identifying the cause and developing the right treatment to restore your trees to full health.
Infectious tree diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi, while noninfectious diseases can be triggered by environmental stressors like pollution, temperature extremes, soil deficiencies, or poor site selection. Symptoms include a thinning canopy, trunk damage, discolored or spotty leaves, and a decline in growth. If a disease isn’t treated early on, it can spread to the rest of the tree and lead to death.
Some common infectious disease treatments include crown fungicide sprays, insecticide injections, grafting, and chemical trunk washing. An expert arborist can also help you manage your landscape by improving site conditions, nutrient application, and soil management to reduce the risk of infection.
Noninfectious disease treatments include aeration, which involves drilling small holes into the surface of the bark to increase air flow and reduce water retention. Fertilization can also be beneficial for your trees, but it is important to consult with a tree care professional before applying any chemical fertilizers.
Needle cast diseases are a family of fungal infections that cause severe and lasting damage to Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens), white fir (Abies concolor), hemlock (Tsuga spp.), and some species of pine (Pinus spp.). Powdery mildew is a fungus that affects different parts of a tree and can be spread by wind, rain, or insects.
Other noninfectious disease treatments are cabling and bracing, which involve installing support systems into weakened or damaged trees to prevent collapse. Other services that a tree service may offer are stump grinding, which removes the remains of a removed tree from your property, and root barriers, which are used to stop soil erosion. Tree services will also manage the health of your trees and shrubs from the ground up, taking steps to protect against storm damage, insect infestations, and soil compaction. They can even assist with obtaining permits for work on your property.
Tree service companies provide regular preventive maintenance and cleaning to ensure trees grow strong and healthy. They can help reduce diseases, site problems, insects, and other threatening factors that affect the health of a tree. They also provide regular pruning to keep trees in good shape and reduce the risk of failure. In addition, they can prune a tree’s structure and remove limbs that are dead or obstructing other structures.
A tree service company can provide the right product solutions to control invasive pests, such as spruce budworm and pine beetle, without damaging the trees. They can also treat soil conditions that cause stress to a tree, such as compaction and drought. The company can also treat soil that has been damaged by heavy equipment or vehicles and is contaminated with harmful chemicals.
Before hiring a tree service, be sure to check the company’s credentials. Look for accreditation from the International Society of Arboriculture or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). An ISA certification shows that the professional has been trained and is experienced in tree care. A TCIA membership means that the company has a strong commitment to the industry’s best practices.
In addition to training and insurance, you should always consider the safety of the workers. Fall and struck-by hazards are common in tree service and can result in serious injury or death to employees. These hazards include falling from tree limbs or branches, being hit by falling hand tools or the trunks of trees, and being crushed by equipment such as booms or lifts.
When selecting a tree service, you should ask for references from local customers who have used the company. A reputable service should be happy to provide you with the phone numbers of satisfied clients. You can also do a little research on your own and see what other people have to say about the quality of the work performed by the company.

Nowadays, having a nice porch just doesn’t cut it—people are looking to add more visual interest to their space. Gazebos and pergolas are two popular outdoor structures that can instantly transform your yard into an elegant, inviting space. With pergola or gazebo construction, you can curate your own outdoor entertainment space under the shade of one of these structures and create a beautiful, functional place for your family and friends.
But which structure is right for you? We’ll go over the differences between gazebos and pergolas so you can decide what best suits your needs.
Everything You Should Know About Gazebos
A gazebo is a four-sided structure with a roof and open sides. You’ll see these in many public parks and gardens, protecting the area you and your friends picnic. But here’s what else it can provide for you:
- Rain and Sun Protection – Gazebos are completely covered, making them a great option if you’re looking for protection from any and all elements. Rain or shine, enjoy some peace under your gazebo construction.
- More Privacy – Since it’s enclosed on all sides, gazebos offer more privacy than pergolas. You can use curtains or other materials to give yourself even more separation from the outside world for a serene atmosphere.
- Gazebo Construction Options – Depending on your budget and design preferences, gazebos can be made of wood, metal, or vinyl. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit whatever area you have in mind, specially catered to you.
The Benefits of Pergolas
On the other hand, a pergola is an open latticework roof structure with open sides which provides shade, but not rain protection. Here’s what you’ll benefit from when you choose a pergola over a gazebo construction:
- Create a Sense of Space – Pergolas are great for defining specific spaces in your yard. You can use them to designate areas such as a garden or seating area, adding visual interest with their latticework design.
- Climbing Plant Vines – Traditional gazebos don’t offer the same opportunity for vines and plants to grow along the sides. With a pergola, you can use it as a support structure for growing vines and other plants to add a touch of nature to your outdoor space.
- Stay Cool in the Summer – If you’re looking for a way to stay cool in the summer, but don’t need protection from rain or sun, pergolas are the perfect option. The latticework roof will provide some shade during those hot days.
Whether you decide on gazebo construction or choose to go with a pergola, you’ll have an outdoor oasis that improves the value of your home. With a little bit of planning and vision, you can create a spot that will be enjoyed by all who visit on top of your deck.

Owing to its elevated position, residents of Hill Tree Park enjoy wondrous views of the Pennine Chain, which stretches as far as the eye can see. Despite its inescapably rural location, Hill Tree Park is by no means isolated from modern society.
