Just a quick reminder, if you haven't already started, leaf removal is an important part of fall yard maintenance. As the leaves fall and pile up, they become wet and soggy. This causes mold and rot. It also makes them more difficult to cleanup in the spring. Piles of leaves and debris are also a haven for creatures large and small. Bugs, spiders and rodents all love to burrow and hide in leaves and clutter. Piles of leaves and limbs close to your foundation is like a welcome mat for those creatures seeking shelter. Spiders will lay eggs in these locations, including window wells, barbecue grills, old flower pots, and other items left outside. Cover your patio furniture now and keep it protected from the elements. Wash your cushions, if possible, dry thoroughly and store in a dry place, preferably covered. As always, if you need help with leaf removal, trimming, yard and garage organization, or power-washing, give me a call. 615-310-6360 ask for Raymond!

I'm a huge fan of rock gardens, especially all of the great ground cover and ways to get creative. Here are some cool inspirational pictures that will get you motivated and planning your very rock garden this spring. Not only are rock gardens less water, they can also be lower maintenance if planned correctly. Try to make it look as natural as possible using stones, pebbles, and rocks native to your area or region. Also use native plants and grasses that are drought and cold resistant.
