WHAT TO PLANT

TO REPEL INSECTS

H

FROM METRO CREATIVE

omeowners choose plants for their properties based on a number of variables. Some may be into growing their own foods, while others desire their gardens to be an awe-inspiring mélange of bright colors and alluring scents. There’s no wrong reason to plant a fresh garden, but some plants offer extra benefits, such as repelling insects.

Insects can be a nuisance and a threat to individuals’ overall health. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, insect-borne diseases are viral and bacterial illnesses that develop from insect bites. Mosquitoes, sand flies and fleas are some examples of insects that can pass on disease. Fever, chills, headache, and muscle soreness are just a few of the more common symptoms linked to insect-borne diseases.

The good news for avid gardeners is that certain plants can help repel insects

and provide the additional benefits like fresh food and aesthetic appeal that so many people love.

• BASIL: The aroma of fresh basil is enough to compel any gardener to make a place for it in their garden. But there’s more to fresh basil than its scent, as the Farmers Almanac notes it can be used to repel mosquitoes and moths.

• LAVENDER: Fleas, flies, mosquitoes, and moths are not fans of this aromatic and colorful member of the mint family.

Bees tend to be drawn to lavender, a durable plant that many garden centers recommend in areas prone to drought or hot summers without much precipitation.

• MINT: Mint is another plant that is instantly recognizable for its aroma. But mint lovers may not realize that it’s also great for keeping ants at bay. Mint also can be used to repel mosquitoes, but gardeners with no experience planting mint should plant it in pots. That’s

because the Farmers Almanac notes mint is an especially aggressive spreader that can quickly take over a garden. Separating mint in pots can prevent it from bullying its way into other plants’ domains.

• LEMONGRASS: Lemongrass is a tropical grass that’s so fragrant it’s often used in perfumes. Lemongrass contains citronella, which many people associate with repelling mosquitoes. A potted lemongrass plant can repel these unwanted guests, keeping them away from decks, porches and/or patios all summer long.

• CHRYSANTHEMUMS: The Farmers’ Almanac® recommends using chrysanthemums, which repel a range of insects from bedbugs to fleas to ants, as border plants around a home.

That’s because they contain the natural insecticide pyrethrin, which can serve as something of an insect-repelling boundary around a home.

HOW TO

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TREES T

FROM METRO CREATIVE

rees benefit a landscape by ser ving both aesthetic and utilitarian functions. A home surrounded by healthy green trees can be a sight to behold, and those same trees can benefit surrounding plants and wildlife at the same time.

As appealing as trees are, not all trees and landscapes make for the perfect match. The Arbor Day Foundation notes the importance of planning when designing a landscape. Planning ensures the trees homeowners ultimately choose for their properties will grow well in the soil and moisture present in their yards.

Careful consideration of a handful of variables can help homeowners determine which trees will make the best fit for their properties.

• HEIGHT: Homeowners must consider the projected height of a

tree before planting it. Avoid trees that will bump into anything when fully grown, as that can adversely affect surrounding greener y and pose a safety hazard. The ADF’s tree sizing guide can be accessed at https://www.arborday.org/trees/ rightTreeAndPlace/size.cfm and ser ves as an invaluable resource for homeowners who want to plant new trees around their properties.

• CANOPY SPREAD: Trees grow out as well as up, so it’s important to consider their potential width at maturity as well. The ADF sizing guide can help homeowners get an idea of how wide a tree is likely to be at maturity. Trees that spread out quite a bit don’t necessarily need to be avoided, but it’s important that they’re planted far enough apart so they don’t adversely affect surrounding plants. In addition, wide trees that are planted too close together can make the landscape appear

crowded, taking something away from its aesthetic appeal.

• GROWTH RATE: Growth rate is an important variable because it can affect how quickly homeowners will see changes in their landscapes.

Homeowners who want to plant for privacy can consider trees with quick growth rates or purchase more mature trees that are already near full growth. Those who are not in need of instant transformation can tr y trees with slower growth rates, which the ADF notes typically live longer than fast-growing species.

• REQUIREMENTS: Different trees require different amounts of sun and moisture and different soil components to thrive.

Homeowners can have their soil tested to determine which trees will thrive in it. Local garden centers can be a great resource for homeowners who want insight as to which trees will thrive in their local climates.

f you’re looking for a great home that offers a number of amenities, look no further than 4725 Water Wheel Way.

Real Estate Inside Out

The fully brick 3,122-square-foot house boasts four bedrooms, four full baths and plenty of room for expansion and exploration.

The house’s curb appeal is undeniable, with the potential for additional greenery and landscaping along the wide concrete driveway that leads to the two-car garage. A quaint concrete patio under a overhang, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the summer breeze, leads into the house.

A tiled floor that has the appearance of lovely hardwood travels throughout the ADA-compliant first level. Office space is immediately to the right of the foyer, which could be utilized for many other purposes, such as rolling out mats and practicing yoga, or even additional bedroom space. A full bathroom is nearby, complete with an abundance of storage space and one of the four automatic Toto Washlet toilets that are “completely touchless.”

Stroll through the foyer and pass one of the two laundry rooms out to the wonderfully open-concept kitchen and living room area.

The kitchen features a long granite island countertop with a wine storage unit, perfect for high chairs or stools, surrounded by white cabinetry, “high end” stainless steel appliances, stove top, large corner pantry with an abundance of shelving and an eating area towards the back corner.

The living room allows space for lounging and unwinding in front of the gas-log fireplace.

“The open concept makes it a lot more functional for entertaining,” said David Campbell, who owns the house with his wife, Lisa. “I think it makes the space feel open and calming.”

A small hallway off the living room provides access to the carpeted master bedroom, second full bath and another carpeted bedroom complete with a walk-in closet.

The spacious master bedroom has an en suite with separate his and her vanities, separate bathing and showering units and an exceptionally large walk-in closet.

Make your way up the stairs from the living room to the second level, which has a family room area that’s perfect for more entertainment and exercise space, a fully-functional kitchen, two more bedrooms with walk-in closets, a full bathroom and a second laundry room.

David Campbell said that a prospective buyer can look into expanding the space on the second level, such as utilizing the space above the garage to create approximately 50% more square footage.

“It might be a worthwhile investment to add to the usable square footage once renovation costs kind of normalize,” Campbell said.

From the kitchen, double doors lead to a concrete porch in the private backyard, ideal for friends and family gatherings, with it ser ving as a great place for grilling and to chill out.

A gate in the fence gives homeowners direct access to the Greenbelt’s Miller’s Mill Trailhead. The backyard also has a 8-foot x 10-foot attached storage shed that is convenient for storing lawn and gardening equipment.

Campbell said the home is big on safety features, which includes a reinforced concrete tornado shelter just off the first-floor laundr y room. The home also comes with a Generac auxiliar y power generator.

Campbell believes one of the home’s main selling points is that it’s move-in ready, which he noted can be scarce to find in the housing market today.

Above all, the home can cater to virtually any audience and offers a large amount of flexibility — with Campbell saying that he and his wife will entertain offers that include the furnishings, to help a potential buyer transition into a “turn-key home.”

“This home can absorb a lot of people,” Campbell said.

“There’s room for a large family or a multi-generation family or a family that just likes a lot of houseguests.”

KEY COMPONENTS

3 POPULAR HOME INTERIOR STYLES C onsiderable thought goes into designing a home’s interior. From which color to paint the walls to the size of the living room couch, homeowners must make a variety of decisions when planing their home interiors.

One way to simplify interior design decisions is to choose a style. Interior design styles run the gamut from traditional to modern, and each style has its own unique look and feel. Though homeowners need not feel beholden to any particular item associated with a given style, three of the more popular styles, traditional, modern and farmhouse, each have certain key components that can ensure a home ends up with a look homeowners are aiming for.

1. TRADITIONAL

Homes with a traditional interior style give a formal yet welcoming

feel. Many individuals associate crown molding and wainscotting with traditional interiors, so that’s something homeowners aiming for this style should keep in mind. Minimal or modern furniture pieces don’t fit with the traditional style, which tends to utilize period pieces made from real wood.

2. MODERN

Modern interiors may differ depending on which style of modern homeowners are aiming for. Midcentury modern typically features unique furnishings that some might see as retro. However, many companies now offer updated takes on midcentury modern that call to mind a bygone era but don’t make individuals feel as though they’re living in a museum.

Urban modern is another popular modern style, and home interiors fashioned in this style tend to be light, airy and not

crowded with furnishings. Calm, soft tones are a go-to with urban modern interiors, helping to create the serene settings many homeowners are hoping to create with this style.

3. FARMHOUSE

Farmhouse has become ver y popular in recent years. In fact, a recent sur vey from the interior design ser vice Modsy found that farmhouse was the most popular design style in 26 states.

Farmhouse is beloved for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is its association with a simpler lifestyle.

The rustic charm of the countr yside is never far from the mind when in a home with a farmhouse-inspired interior. Traditional farmhouse and modern farmhouse are different styles, but natural materials and bright colors, particularly white walls, are elements shared by both.
