LANDSCAPING for summer time. Not is the prime time for landscaping . The spring time is the best time to do all kinds of landscaping. planting grass now will give it time to grow so the heat doesnt burn or damage the young grass. also watering early the morning is a very good thing to do so that the sunlight doesnt get magnified by the water in mid day which will burn the grass.

Budget Patio Planning And Ideas
Planning and creating beautiful and functional patios, like most areas of landscaping and garden design, does not have to be expensive. Of course, the source and type of materials you use for your patio will determine a big part of the cost. And of course, the term “budget” generally assumes that you will do the labor yourself so that is not an issue here.
Before you can get any ideas of cost of creating your patio, you’ll need ideas and a direction to go in. And if you’re familiar with this site, you know I’ve provided you with lots of pictures to look at for ideas. Oh ya. So spend a little time at the gallery of Patio design and decorating ideas to get an idea of all your options and possibilities. For now, don’t get too hung up on the furniture but pay more attention to the design styles and elements used. While they don’t have to be, the furnishings may be the most costly of all the elements you add so it’s best to see where you’re at with expenses when you get to that point. And remember, “budget” means that you’ll be doing the labor yourself so there won’t be much expense there. Or at most, a barbeque and a few beers for your friends…at the end of the day.
While style, shape, and design ideas can be gathered through the pictures in the directories, knowing a few principles in the area of small gardens will go a long way. Because generally, most patios will tend to be smaller and in line with courtyards and small gardens.
Assuming an area for the patio has been chosen, I would normally start from the ground up. So deciding on flooring materials is the first step. Now, while it may be one of the most costly elements to consider, I don’t want to leave out decorative concrete ideas as an option for your flooring. However, there are a lot of other less expensive options worth exploring.
Generally, pavers and natural flagstone make up the majority of flooring materials used with natural flagstone being the least expensive and easiest to install. Often, these materials can be found as discarded from refurbished projects. And depending on where you live, the flagstone may be gathered in the field with a permit from your county or state. And old used pavers are one of my favorite materials for patio floors as the worn look makes them look so established.
If plants are an inclusion into your patio plans, there are a lot of ways to save money in choosing landscaping and garden plants. Starting with smaller plants and even using native plants will help stay within the budget.
