Entertain on your New Patio!!
 The fall is a great time of the year to enjoy your family and friends in a beautiful outdoor setting. Now is the time to add that patio or deck for the fall season. Relaxing outdoors is a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful evenings and weekends. One of our most common requests is to design such spaces so that the kids have a place to hang out at home under the watchful but respectful eyes of the parents. Great idea! Let us know if we can help bring your ideas to reality.

The project below was conceived with the primary concept of expanding the existing patio space and adding a little decorative flare to match the beautiful landscaping that surrounds the area. The goal was to keep expenses down and to achieve a beautiful space. The objectives were accomplished by replacing the old concrete patio with a new concrete patio with a stone masonry border. The stone masonry border was installed over the top of a reinforced base to accommodate the load of a custom pergola. This project looks ten fold the investment!

Monthly Gardening Tips
Gardening tips for Ocober
- Plant Fescue seed by the 15th. Aerate, lime, then keep watered while seed is germinating.
- Lower your mowing height to 2-3 inches for Fescue & St. Augustine, 1-2 inches for seeded Bermuda and 0.5 - 1.5 for sodded Bermuda & Zoysia.
- Plant Spring flowering bulbs like Daffodils, Hyacinths and Lilies and apply a light, complete fertilizer such as Espoma Bone Meal or Pennington Bulb Food.
- Divide overgrown clumps of perennials, such as Daylilies, Daisies, Hostas and Coneflowers. Replant divisions or give to friends as "pass-along" plants.
- Plant Snapdragons, Violas and Pansies for fall and winter color.
- This is a good season for improving the soil by adding organic amendments - such as Soil Conditioner or Pike Professional Potting Soil - and rototilling.
- Add vines and ground covers to your garden such as Clematis, Mondo Grass, Creeping Raspberry and English Ivy.
- If you move plants inside from the patio, make sure they get the best light possible. Also, check for insects. You may need to use an insecticidal soap prior to the big move.
Gardening Tips for November
- Want an evergreen perennial that blooms in February? Plant Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis) now! Fertilize Pansy beds with Osmocote or Greenlight 25-10-17 Plant Food.
- Fertilize your Fescue lawn eight weeks after planting seed. Be sure to water.
- Plant English Laurel, Aucuba, and Holly now. Remember to water deeply every two weeks so these evergreen shrubs do not dry out.
- Plant Camellias, the jewels of the winter garden. Try Yuletide, Apple Blossom and Setsugekka for beautiful blooms.
- Plant balled and burlapped trees and shrubs. Choose from Japanese Maples, Dogwoods, Hemlocks and Hollies.
- Cut back faded perennials for the winter.
- Bird feeders bring lots of color and activity to the winter garden. Most experts recommend black oil sunflowers for general feeding.
