There may be some flowers or plants that you love, look good for a while and make great elements within the general property landscape, but they are also the first which succumb in the face of pests and disease. They may be exotic or non-local, or they make present a certain vulnerability to your environmental conditions. If each year you see they give up when attacked by pests and disease, you should say goodbye to them and replace them with native plants and grasses. Ask your local lawn care Waxahachie, TX experts to install native flowers and grasses. They are resilient to the area’s climacteric conditions and to local pests and disease.
If you feel that your front lawn and garden need a bit of a push to look fresh, renewed and perhaps more colorful, these months are the best to plant new grasses, flowers, herbs and vegetables. Ask your local landscaping Waxahachie, TX experts to recommend you a nice looking and heat enduring selection of grasses, annuals, perennials, scented herbs and even vegetables and fruit. There is nothing healthier or more pleasurable than eating your home-grown tomatoes and nothing more gorgeous than a well chosen picture-perfect ensemble of begonias, geraniums, marigolds and zinnias, mixed with an assortment of thyme, sage, rosemary or red peppers.
If you haven’t applied a good layer of compost on your lawn and garden, now it’s the time to do it. Top-dress the lawn with a half-inch layer of home-made compost.
