In all honesty, this winter season has been quite dull. It has rained more days than not, leaving most of us feeling soggy inside and out. The doldrums of a dreary winter can often be lifted by looking forward and planning for spring. The spring season is a season of anticipation and renewal. Here in Georgia, we are blessed with moderately warm spring seasons that bring forth beautiful flowering trees and plants, sunshine, and warmer temperatures that allow us to get outside.

When it comes to sprucing up your home, there is nothing like doing a project that offers both function and beauty. Getting both something that is useful to you and others as well as adding an attractive element is how you get the biggest bang for your buck.

Now that 2021 has arrived, most of us are looking ahead to see what we can improve. Of course, almost everything should be better than in 2020! Maybe you are a New Year’s resolutions fan, and you want to improve your health or your finances. Maybe you’re not one to set goals you know you won’t keep, and you’re more philosophical at the start of a new year. Whichever category you fall into, there’s always a new project that can make the start of a year exciting.

Right now, you may be trying to think of the perfect gift to give that special someone. Well, here’s a hint: when it comes to rocks – the bigger, the better. Now, before you start thinking about a diamond, let’s go even bigger!

Whether you are a homebody or just love entertaining people, having a welcoming patio space is a valuable extension of your home. Outdoor patios have a variety of uses that can draw others to your outdoor space for cookouts, bonfires, relaxation, and fellowship.

Of all the things on your home’s property, the septic tank is the one that you want to draw the least amount of attention to. In fact, the less attention it gets, the better it is because that means it is working correctly. Yet, having a septic system is necessary unless you are on a sewer system. If your property relies on a septic system, disguising the system is likely a priority.

Home is where the heart is. It is also the place where you and your family spend the most time together in the evenings, during the weekends, and during the holiday seasons. When it comes to creating an outdoor space for your home, most homeowners take a seasonal approach to designing the ambiance that works for their families

2020 is the year when people have decided that a pool in their backyards is an ideal addition to their property. With COVID-19 restrictions abounding throughout the United States, combined with the oppressive heat of Georgia’s summer, a backyard pool is a great solution. However, saying you want a pool is simple; planning the process out is more complex.

With people still spending most of their time at home due to COVID-19 and all the restrictions that stem from the virus, they are finding that they want to add more appeal to their yards. One popular way that many homeowners are adding to their homes and landscapes is with an outdoor kitchen

There are many elements to consider when trying to create an idea in your mind of a beautiful landscape feature. While it is often easy to choose trees and plants for their colorful appeal, don’t forget about hardscape ideas that can add value and enjoyment to your outdoor living space. One of the most underutilized hardscapes is a flagstone patio. This distinctive and versatile natural stone can add beauty to your landscape, and it is durable enough to withstand the test of time.
