Solutions and Suggestions
Planning properly for your landscape ideas are important to the life of your garden. As always, we enjoy working with your plans and ideas but also offer solutions to help. Here are a few suggestions to get you on your way.
Landscape and Drainage Solutions
April showers bring May flowers, but they also can create problems for homeowners including flooding and erosion. Water either does not move away from your home quickly enough, or it runs off in an inefficient manner and takes soil with it. Excess water and mud can have a negative effect on your lawn, drowning grass. Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Problems with yard drainage occur most often on properties where landscaping and grading is either nonexistent or done incorrectly
Planting Annual Color Beds
It is essential to get seasonal flowers in at the right time so they can reach their optimal color and beauty! It is also important to consider when different flowers bloom, so your property always has vibrant color and floral / foliage interest throughout the seasons. Vibrance installs annual flowers appropriate for our customers' sun exposure and light conditions. We are expert in optimal annual flower spacing, and creating a garden that really complements your property's beauty. We take local climate and conditions into consideration.
Garden Paths, Walkways, Patios
A curved garden path can soften the look of your home and driveways, and provide an enjoyable walk through areas with high visual interest.A meandering walk through flower beds in full bloom, or well-placed shrubbery and trees can make you feel worlds away from the hectic pace of the everyday.
But there is a time and place for functional, no-nonsense paths that get you to your destination quickly, like those that lead from your car to the house when you are carrying heavy groceries or children.
Trust Vibrance to install the perfect pathways on your property, including the ideal edging plants and flowers to complement them.Stepping stones lined with grass, groundcover plants or moss can create a casual path leading from one area of your property to another. Pavers or brick provides a sturdier walking surface and a more formal looking walkway. Gravel or mulch can also serve as an environmentally friendly, fast-draining option for your garden path.
Fall Cleanup
Along with cooler temperatures and back-to-school in the Austin Texas area come the beautiful colors of fall. This is the optimal time to get your yard ready for winter, and encourage your entire landscape to stay healthy and come back strong in the spring. For better lawn care and maintenance, keep in mind that seed can germinate and grow more easily during the fall because it offers warmer soil temperatures and more favorable moisture levels than spring. Fall is also favorable as a growing season for grass because weeds are not as prolific in fall as in spring. New grass planted in the fall has time to mature before facing summer stresses like heat, traffic and mowing.
