We are very pleased with everything, and you should be getting a call from our friend Gina concerning some stuff she wants done in her yard in the next few days too if you haven't already!
From a monetary standpoint, a nicely landscaped property can increase the value of your home by 15%, allowing you to recoup 100–200% of your investment at selling time. This compares with the investment recovery rates for kitchen remodeling (75-125%), bathroom remodeling (20-120%), swimming pool additions (20-50%). A monetary return is not the only value of landscaping. Below are some very important values of landscaping.
Winter brings a slower pace to gardening. Now is a good time to think about the home landscape and how it can be improved. An attractive front yard can enhance the appearance of your house and neighborhood. The expanse of lawn and surrounding plants creates the most pleasing picture if designed or planned rather than allowed to take shape on its own.
Whoever says you can't "kill two birds with one stone" when becoming more energy efficient is absolutely wrong! There are ways to cut down on your home's energy expenses while adding beautiful landscapes to the yard and, in turn, likely increasing your home's value.
At Creative Landscaping we believe the care you give your new landscape plantings is just as important as the design and installation. Learning how to properly maintain your plants is the key to enjoying your landscape investment for years to come.
As the cold weather has set in, gardening and landscaping may be the last thing on our minds. Even so, it is important to use the off season to prepare for a great landscape when spring rolls around. As landscapers and landscape designers we're already aware of this fact, and spend our days helping homeowners and business owners solve common landscape problems, no matter what the season or the temperature outside.
While opinions may vary on how desirable snow is, in particular the amount that falls, snow actually has several benefits for yard and garden plantings.
One major benefit of a good snow cover is snow functions as an excellent insulator of the soil. Without snow, very cold temperatures can freeze the soil deeper and deeper. This could lead to damage of root systems of trees and shrubs.
WAVERLY - A little school pride has been added to the Waverly football field. If you have wandered past the Viking Stadium football field recently, you would have noticed a large letter "W" staring back at you.
Marvin Lambie, Owner of Creative Landscaping, recently landscaped a big white "W" on the south end of the football field.
