Fall/Winter News Letter

Fall is here and winter is on its way. With the winter comes the rain for us here in Alabama. So now is a good time to prepare your landscape to handle the water and the erosion problems that stem from it. Winter is a great time to plant plants, as their roots still grow during the cold weather, establishing them selves and helping to slow down the water flow on slopes. Then in spring they are able to pull from their established position for a quick and healthy start when the weather starts to warm up a bit. Retaining walls and paved patios of pavers or stone are also great for redirecting water flow. The walls can stop water that is rushing down a slope and safely re direct it via French drains behind the wall. Patios can slope away from the home and focus any extra water into drains to get rid of excess rainfall. The landscape is improved both aesthetically and practically by beautiful walls defining outdoor living areas that can even be used as sitting walls during gatherings. The patio increases usable surface area and opens up a new outdoor room for you and your family to enjoy! By taking care of your erosion concerns now, you will even be increasing the re salability and value of your home. And if you are planning on installing a pool to enjoy this year, this is the perfect time to get started. The whole process from design to finish takes 6 to 8 weeks, so make plans now, while the time is right, to have a design done of your landscape, installation can be finished before the weather warms and you and your family can enjoy your new beautiful and practical landscape this spring!
