Adding a hexagonal gazebo to enhance your Kansas City Kansas landscape

by on May 7, 2012

So you’ve finally decided this is the season you will add an outdoor living space that will give you a place to escape to and take in the sounds, smells and sights of your gorgeous Kansas City Kansas landscape, as well as provide a comfortable and convenient area to entertain great friends and family. Lawn care experts suggest adding a hexagonal gazebo might just be the perfect avenue to that destination!

Hexagonal gazebos are traditional in appearance, but add a style and sophistication to your Kansas City Kansas landscape. And although you may choose a design and materials that exude luxury, Kansas City Kansas lawn care specialists say hexagonal gazebos are quite affordable. Furthermore, your property value will increase with this beautiful addition!

Hexagonal gazebos do not have to be one-size-fits-all in style. Lawn care professionals say there are several different options, including whether or not to add benches inside the gazebo and different types of railings. When it comes to topping your hexagonal gazebo, you can choose from a canopy top, an ornamental cupola or more traditional roofing shingles, perhaps to match the roof of your home.

Hexagonal gazebos typically come in 8 foot and 10 foot sizes. Lawn care pros suggest a great way to accentuate your Kansas City Kansas landscape gazebo is by adding garden lights and seasonal plantings around the gazebo itself. The plants and flowers will give you something beautiful to gaze upon as you relax the day away in your Kansas City Kansas landscape and the garden lights will allow you to enjoy this outdoor living space even on cool, summer nights.

Advantages of Clay Lawn Soil

by on April 23, 2012

If you live in an area of the country where clay soil is an option, Kansas City Kansas landscape specialists say this might be an ideal alternative to typical soil in order to produce a beautiful Kansas City lawn.

Typical soil is often subjected to erosion, especially in climates with heavy rainfall. When the soil is washed away, the roots of your Kansas City lawn and other plants become exposed, making them vulnerable. Clay soil also is better for retaining moisture. If you live in an area where the heat often dries out your Kansas City lawn, clay soil could be a better alternative so your Kansas City lawn doesn’t become brown and brittle. Because clay soil holds moisture in better and longer, you can save money by watering less!

Another reason Kansas City Kansas landscape specialists recommend clay soil is because its pH level rarely needs adjusted. Most clay soil is neutral, which is exactly what it needs to be in order to grow a perfect Kansas City lawn. Soil Kansas City lawns need to be tested annually to ensure the pH level is correct. If it is too acidic or not acidic enough, you need to apply pH conditioners, which cost money and take some guesswork to figure out the right amount.

Clay soil is typically devoid of nutrients, which may seem like a negative, but it is in fact a good thing. You can add the nutrients you deem necessary and have greater control over your fertilization regimen.

If you are considering a Kansas City lawn soil change, contact your local Kansas City Kansas landscape professionals and find out more about whether or not clay Kansas City lawn soil is right for you.
