n the Spring,” wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Not to gainsay Lord Tennyson, but what a home owner’s thoughts turn to first is spring cleaning, and from spring cleaning to home improvement and the Blue Ridge Home Builder’s Association’s Home Show, where imagination and inspiration can truly run wild.

Its 2016 Home Show will take place at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville on Saturday, April 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission and parking will be free; donations will be collected at the door for the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP), a non-profit group that provides seniors and low-income community members with critical home repairs and rehabs.

As always, the show will be a family-friendly event, with plenty of kids’ attractions including a face painter, a treasure hunt, a bounce house, and a Kids’ Zone with craft activities.

A professional trade association organized in 1964, BRHBA unites builders and developers with the allied trade industries, businesses, and

professions that have interest in the building industry. BRHBA works to consolidate resources and build coalitions that will develop the industry and the community. “The Home Show has been a big local event for 42 years,” says BRHBA Executive Director Kristin Sorokti. “The idea is to give our builders and anybody in the homebuilding industry the opportunity to interact with the public and share all of their innovations with the community. They can see what is out there in the market now and get ideas of what they can do in their home or their future home.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to view the new technology and services, and get landscaping and interior design ideas.

We’ll have local builders who can speak to people about building a new home or remodeling an existing home. We’ll have financial institutions so they can see about loan offers. The most exciting part is that it is a true charitable event.”

“The BRHBA Home Show is a great event that delivers two purposes,” said Donna Patton, 2016 President of the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR). “First, it pro-

Let my experience work for YOU!

FEATURE

I am passionate about real estate on ALL levels. My background is in new home residential construction and over the past 15+ years, I’ve experienced all aspects of home building and lot development. I understand and know how to build a home from the footings up to the rafters. I am very comfortable with new home sales, as well as existing construction and raw land.

vides Central Virginia residents a free opportunity to meet 100+ companies that specialize in building and in green and remodeling products and services under one roof. Second, it’s a great opportunity to raise awareness and encourage donations to benefit the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program.

CAAR is excited to be one of the Home Show sponsors and also appreciates the chance for CAAR members to volunteer alongside with AHIP during the duration of the event.”

“We couldn’t do this without CAAR,” Sorokti says. “They’ve been a longtime partner with us and with AHIP, and collectively we have supported each other.”

“I try to go every year,” says Long and Foster REALTOR® Sherry Orrell.

“I love materials and I love to find what to do. I look at gutters, floors, carpet.

There is a little bit of everything, and there is stuff you might not know you’re going to see. You learn what is

Sorokti anticipates between 60 and 70 vendors for this year’s show, including first-time-attendees Savvy Rest Natural Bedding, this year’s sponsor.

Formerly known as the Savvy Sleeper, the company specializes in mattresses and bedding. They opened their flagship store in Ivy in 2003. “Our founder Michael Payne very much liked being outside of town,” says Media Director John McMullen, “the trees and openness, and the lack of congestion. We run everything out of this location. It’s a natural place to have a quiet retreat.”

“We thought the Home Show would be a good opportunity to introduce ourselves to a new audience in town,” McMullen says, “to show builders and people in construction and interior design what we’re doing, what we’re bringing to homes. We’re really expanding our furniture product line. We wanted to reach out to people who are in the beginning stages of planning and decorating homes. We will display the organic

the state of the art, and you have an opportunity to ask the vendors what’s great about it. They also have people who are supplying materials to the builders, and builders representing their companies, so you’ll see what they’re doing.”

REALTOR® Heather Towe of Montague Miller and Company volunteered at last year’s show, and looks forward to doing it again in 2016. “It’s a lot of fun,” she says. “It’s a great way to make connections with other people in the community who own and run businesses. I made a few friendships there, and I’ve learned things since then because of the connections I made with experts in the area, both vendors and volunteers. It’s been one of those ongoing things. Being at the event itself was beneficial, but then it’s had far-reaching effects for me personally.”

mattresses which we’ve been making 1012 years now, and the natural platform beds, organic sofas, love seats and chairs that we are making in Ivy.” “I look forward to it every year, it’s a good show,” says Ted Wright of Blue Ridge Builder’s Supply, which has stores in Charlottesville and Crozet, and has missed just one show out of the last ten. “A lot of people do their shopping there for home products; they get a good feeling for what’s out there and available to them.” The company’s two booths this year will be stocked with windows and doors and low VOC paint, paint with a relatively small percentage of volatile organic compounds – the smelly stuff that causes smog and ozone and respiratory illness and memory impairment. “The lower it is, the less is going into the atmosphere,” Wright says.

“It’s good for the environment and it lowers energy bills. And if you have an existing home, what can you do to make it more efficient and what are the steps you can take to make it better for the environment? There will be people at the show to help you – insulating companies, window companies,

people who are in need throughout the year, whether we have a storm or not, for basic things like indoor plumbing and heat – the essentials that we kind of take for granted, that these families went without on a regular basis. So that’s where the inspiration came to start AHIP. We serve the county and the city, so we’re a very local, hands-on organization.” Since its incorporation 38 years ago, the group has served roughly 2,000 low-income clients, many of them elderly. In fiscal year 2014-15 alone, it provided 130 Charlottesville and Albemarle County families with 246 emergency repairs, small to large rehabs, and energy upgrades. In addition to this critical hands-on labor, AHIP also works to educate the community about the importance of safety in the home.

Since BRHBA first partnered with AHIP in 2012, it has donated an estimated $46,000 in in-kind labor and material and donations. “We are delighted to be working with our friends and partners at AHIP,” Sorokti says, “and to support the remarkable work they do here in our community to keep our neighbors safe, warm, and dry. The nice thing about coming to the show is that you can really see the difference that they make in people’s lives. To raise awareness about hazardous and

unsafe living conditions that some of our neighbors face on a daily basis they are going to showcase before and after examples of these major repairs that were recently completed. It’s really significant to be able to see how AHIP’s programs protect people’s safety and help their living situations.”

“Last year the show was a huge success,” Sorokti adds. “We had over 2,500 people attend the event, and so many of them were generous and donated to AHIP that we were able to raise over $6,000. We encourage people to come back and support this charitable cause.

Anybody who donates $20 or more will be entered into the prize drawing to win a TV.” “The builders support AHIP and so does CAAR,” Orrell says. “They let people like me help people who have real issues, and they fix the most critical things, like bathrooms, or access, or things that don’t work. It’s actually a lot of fun and very rewarding, because I get to do things like hammer a nail and paint, which I’ve never done, and they always have an expert on hand from AHIP so you don’t get hurt. The builders don’t need to worry about that, but REALTORS®maybe do! But you find yourself way out of the box helping people in ways you normally wouldn’t do, so it’s a very good organization.” n

LANDSCAPE DESIGN Adds Value To Homes

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

“I

t’s always important to look ahead when you are landscaping your yard,” declares Brian McCauley, a REALTOR® with Montague Miller & Co. “When people are considering buying a place, they aren’t usually thinking about eventually selling it, but from a resale standpoint it’s important to not have too much going on in the yard.

You don’t want it to be a burden from a maintenance or cost standpoint.”

Well-landscaped yards are always attractive, he emphasizes. “Buyers will often make up their mind about a property when they pull up in front before they ever go inside. They are already thinking this will work or this won’t work.”

How Can A Landscape Designer Help?

When people buy a new place, whether it’s new construction or just new to them, they often want to put their imprint on the yard. New homes in particular offer a blank page and it’s easy to go overboard.

”It is really important to approach landscape design with an eye to the future,” agrees Charlottesville Horticulturist Karyn Smith. “It’s so easy to get caught up in the excitement of choosing plants at the local nursery, that it can be easy to forget that the pretty little shrub in a one-gallon nursery pot can eventually grow to 20 feet high and 10 feet wide.”

Homeowners need to determine what they want their yard to look like in the end, says horticulturalist Smith.

“That typically means laying out on paper a design of shrubs, trees, and flowerbeds,” she explains. “The plan should reflect how they will appear at full maturity.”

“Full maturity” is a key point and it’s why many people turn to a professional landscape designer to help with their yards.

“Landscape designers not only have knowledge of the types of plants that grow best in our Charlottesville local area,” Smith continues, “and they also know eventual size of each plant as well as its potential pitfalls.”

Take buddleia, for example. Also called butterfly bushes, they are highly popular in our area for their deer resistance, their colorful blossoms, and for attracting butterflies that flutter around them constantly for much of the summer. But buddleia shouldn’t be planted near swimming pools or children’s play equipment because it’s also very enticing to bees and the typical activity around such attractions might prompt bees to defend themselves by stinging.

Maples trees are another example.

They come in a number of varieties, colors, and sizes and are highly valued for their generous shade and colorful fall foliage. Still it’s crucial not to plant them too close to a house, sewer line, or septic field because their roots can affect plumbing and damage the foundation of the dwelling in search of water.

How To Decide What’s Right For Your Yard.

“It’s very much a personal preference what you want,” observes REALTOR® McCauley. Still, he points out, an overgrown jungle of a yard is not

only unattractive in a neighborhood, it often hinders a quick sale down the road.

“Some people do quite a bit of gardening and have extensive landscaping,” he says. “Always remember, though, that it may be a passion for you, but a burden for the next person.

In addition, it’s always important to remember that you want to fit into today’s trends and your neighborhood environment. You don’t want your yard sticking out.”

“As a landscape designer myself,” Smith says, “I’ve always thought of myself as a problem solver. Each yard has its own challenges, such as the need to block an unwanted view or to plant an area of the yard that is very sloped or wet. A good landscape designer will be able to choose plants that not only solve the problems, but perhaps also have other needed attributes, such as being non-invasive, deer-resistant, or simply have the aesthetic the homeowner is looking for.”

These days, for example, there is increasing ecological emphasis on using native trees, shrubs, and plants.

This is wise for several reasons. Native varieties generally require less maintenance because they can basically fend for themselves. Already adapted to our climate, they are usually less susceptible to pests and require less water and fertilizer than non-native species.

Non-natives, on the other hand, often require pesticides and fertilizer and quick-acting fertilizers often result in weak plants with increased susceptibility to pest attacks. Even worse, some fertilizers can destroy useful microbes in the soil, and run off into waterways.

“Aesthetics are really important,” concludes horticulturalist Smith.

“Your yard can be a work of art with the property as the canvas and the trees and shrubs the palette.”

It’s crucial, she explains, to consider how the plantings can all come together to create an overall mood or theme through the growing season. “Sometimes as we search for the perfect plants for an area of the yard, we can forget how we want them to work together. A designer will thoughtfully use elements of design, the same elements of design used by artists—composition, color, textures, and relationships of size and space—to bring the yard together as a whole. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville. When they moved from California some eight years ago, they chose a 10-year-old dwelling with mature, well-proportioned, and very-low-maintenance landscaping.
