WARRANTY HOW TO CREATE A WALKWAY OR PATIO Creating a walkway or patio out of paving stones can add aesthetic appeal to a property. Pavers are less permanent than concrete and decking, so it is easier to change the design later if you wish. Homeowners who install their own pavers can save a considerable amount of money. Because installing paving stones can be labor-intensive, landscape contractors may charge a premium for installation. However, this is a project that can be tackled by the do-it-yourselfer. 1. Measure and plot out the area that will become the path or patio. The area of the space can be figured out by multiplying length times width. This will help you determine just how much material you will need. 2. Visit a supplier of stone and other masonry supplies to determine the style and color of the paving stones you will use in the project. 3. Using a shovel or a tiller, dig down and remove the grass to a depth of four to six inches from the area that will become the path or patio. 4. Fill in the area you dug out with a paver base material, using a tamper to tamp down the paver base until it is level and smooth. 5. Apply about one inch of paving sand to further level out the path or patio. This will be the material on which the paving stones are laid. 6. Begin laying the paving stones. Leave the appropriate distance between stones desired by your pattern. If the paving stones will not have any gap and serve as a continuous patio, leave only the smallest gap between them. 7. Spread more paving sand on top of the paving stones and, using a broom, sweep it over the stones and into the crevices between them to set the stones. 8. Create the rest of the garden design around the patio or pathway using gravel, plants and even edging material to finish the look. Over time you may need to sweep more paving sand over the stones to keep them secure.

Homeowners know that the arrival of spring also marks the reemergence of insects. While not every insect is harmful, if an infestation grows considerably or if insects begin to move from the outdoors into a home, it may be time for homeowners to call in a professional.

The first step homeowners can take is to determine if the insects they see are genuine threats to their lawns. Some bugs emerge and swarm early in the season, but then gradually disappear as spring turns into summer. Other insects may come out of hiding if a homeowner is doing a lot of yard work or construction around a house. Practice a wait-and-see approach to determine if you really have an insect problem or just have stirred up activity.

If insects are not doing any damage or if they can be controlled relatively easily, then you might be able to avoid calling in the professionals. However, if critters like termites and certain species of wood-eating insects are invasive and damaging your yard, you may need to take action. Anyone concerned with the side effects of pesticides and insecticides can first try to remedy the problem naturally. Remove leaves and clean up debris as these can both encourage infestations, piles of rotting wood or leftover firewood. Inspect water spigots for leaks and improve drainage on your property, like moist surroundings. Remove standing water to eliminate spots for mosquitoes to incubate larvae. Natural remedies also may work. Mint, bay leaves, catnip, and garlic can repel insects like roaches and ants. Citrus can be a natural flea deterrent. Planting marigolds may serve as a bug repellent because the flowers produce a scent that many insects find repulsive. Thai lemon grass plants can be used to keep mosquitoes at bay. Remember, natural predators, such as birds, bats, spiders, and larger insects, feed on nuisance bugs. Keeping these helpful predators around may be a natural way to control annoying pests. If an insect problem seems out of control consult with an exterminator. Licensed exterminators have the training and expertise to assess insect concerns and create a plan of action that will minimize the risk to inhabitants of your home and nearby wildlife. An exterminator will know what it takes to treat insects and maximize the chances of removing the problem promptly and effectively.

Grow Fabulous Roses! Maybe you’re one of those gardeners who has tired to grow roses and failed miserably. Or maybe you think roses are so hard to grow, you’re not even going to try. Well, take heart! Roses are easier to grow than ever before. Most of the fun of any kind of gardening is to figure out what plants need and to provide it without a lot of fuss. And it’s no secret that roses need lots of sun and water and a little fertilizer once in a while. You can cope with a few bugs here and there, but your roses really do need a spray of an organic or chemical fungicide every few weeks. Not hard. However, what rose producers have never told you before is how a rose variety will perform in your climate. the United States is a big place, with many types of regional climates. And most roses perform better in some climates than in others. Your selection of rose varieties really determines your success or failure with roses. Hybrid tea roses, for example, are more susceptible to the ravages of winter. Most varieties will overwinter in cold climates, but only with lots of winter protection. For rosarians who love the wonderful, long-stemmed hybrids teas, it’s worth the extra effort it takes to grow them where it’s cold. But more casual rose growers may find the own-root bush roses easier to cope with. Because they grow on their own roots, rather than having been budded (grafted) onto a rootstock, own-root roses will continue to thrive, year after year, even in the coldest climates - and with little or no winter protection. Some roses just hate the cold, no matter how hard a gardener tries. The wonderful greenish-yellow hybrid tea, St. Patrick, is an annual in the North, but it loves humid heat and will astound a southern gardener with huge, perfect flowers on long, sturdy stems. Roses with many petals perform better where summers are dry, and many of the heritage roses need a cool period to set buds. In northern climates, many of the hardy shrubs delight rose gardeners. The yellow, red, pink and orange shrub, Flutterbye, rewards northern gardeners with tons of bloom all season long. But the truly fabulous white climber, Sally Holmes, which grows to 15 feet in California, needs some protection in New England, where it grows to about 5 feet. No matter where you live, you can grow fabulous roses. You just have to know which varieties to choose.

Easy Steps To Reduce Lawn Watering This Season When it comes to watering your lawn, more doesn’t mean better. In fact, reducing the amount of water you put on your lawn & garden has important benefits. For one, you’ll be able to spend less time caring for your landscape. You’ll also help conserve natural resources. And, you won’t take a soaking on your water bill. HOW MUCH WATER IS ENOUGH? Lawn-watering needs change with the season and the weather. Follow these general rules to determine the best watering “diet” for your lawn. • As a rule, lawns require only about an inch of water a week. The amount may vary, depending on where you live, so check with the staff at your local garden center for recommendation. • Figure out how long it takes your sprinkler to water one inch. The next time you water the lawn place a few emply coffee mugs around your sprinkler, and measure how long it takes for the mugs to fill with 1 inch of water. That’s how long you need to water your lawn once each week. • Use your judgement to adjust this schedule according to the amount of rainfall you receive. • Water in the early morning or evening hours when the evaporation level is lowest.

Reducing the amount of water used on your lawn and garden is especially beneficial in drought-prone areas. One proven way to reduce lawn watering is called “top-dressing.” Spread 1/4” inch of Canadian sphagnum peat moss over the grass and work it in with a rake. The peat moss will settle into the soil and act like a sponge, naturally holding moisture. The peat also will allow you to fertilize less by reducing the leaching of vital nutrients that can be caused by excess rain or watering. Experts advise top-dressing your lawn once a year. Another great way to reduce watering in the garden is to reuse the rainwater that pours from your gutters. Rain barrels will catch the water, making reuse easy. Other suggestions: Try to keep plant with similar watering needs together so you are not over-watering plants that are more drought-tolerant. And, be sure to place a 2 to 4 inch layer of mulch around plants. Mulch will reduce the amount of water that evaporates, allowing more water to penetrate the soil.

Create Your Outdoor Living Oasis . . . Outdoor living spaces have become increasingly popular over the last several years. The home improvement boom has shown many homeowners just how easy it can be to transform a home into a private sanctuary that caters to the personalities of the home's residents. Outdoor living areas have become an extension of the home's interior, with many homeowners creating outdoor living rooms and dining areas so they can relax and eat meals outside just as they do indoors. But homeowners thinking of creating outdoor living spaces should consider a few tricks of the trade before beginning their projects. * Strategically place the space. Property often dictates where the outdoor living space will go, but it helps to keep in mind that the outdoor space is more likely to be used if it's easily accessible from the inside of the home. * Emphasize comfort. Many homeowners look at their outdoor living areas as places to kick their feet up and relax, so comfort should take precedence when planning the space. * Illuminate the area. Summer nights spent relaxing in the outdoor living area make for great memories. But such nights are nearly impossible if the area doesn't have some lighting. * Keep the design consistent with your home. In addition to providing an outdoor respite from the daily grind, an outdoor living space can also increase a home's resale value. * Don't forget the fire pit. A fire pit provides a great focal point for an outdoor living area. With more and more homeowners transforming their homes into their own private sanctuaries, outdoor living spaces continue to grow in popularity. By employing a few simple tricks of the trade, homeowners can create the outdoor areas of their dreams.

Make It Faster and Easier!
Nobody enjoys gutter cleaning. Yet it's much more important than many homeowners think. Rain flowing over windows, doors, and siding can rot fascia as well as door and window framing. It can erode the soil around your home and damage its foundation, and also cause a wet basement, mold, and mildew. To help keep gutters operating properly and to protect your investment, try these tips: 1. Think Safety First. Always use a solid, quality ladder to reach your gutters. Safety glasses and gloves are a good idea, watch out for power lines. 2. Use the Right Tools for the Job. In addition to needing something to contain gutter debris, you'll also need a tool to scoop it out. 3. Don't Over-reach. Over-reaching can destabilize your ladder and cause you to fall. The Gutter Grabber is a cleaning tool on an extension pole that lets you clean up to 18 feet of gutter without moving your ladder. 4. Check the Downspouts, Too. If the spout is clogged, a coat hanger or the handle of your Gutter Grabber can help get the debris out of the spout. Then, use a garden hose to flush out any remaining debris. 5. Clean Gutters Anytime They Need It. Most homeowners know they need to clean their gutters in the fall. But once you understand the importance of gutters, you'll know why its vital to clean them out anytime they get full. To protect the value of your home, keep your gutters clean throughout the year.
Using the right tools makes gutter cleaning faster and easier.
