If you’re looking for ideas to give your home curb appeal, just take a drive through your neighborhood. You’ll see an assortment of all kinds including some that were designed by Orange County landscapers. If you’re in a desert area, those professional landscapers use many ideas indigenous to the area, like stones, ground covers, curbs, plants that will grow with little or no water, and best of all little or no care.
Another place to look for ideas is at your local nursery. The people working there not only know the area, but they know which lawns, plants, shrubs, trees and flowers will flourish and when the best time of the year will be to plant them.
So you want to do it yourself? How about drawing out a map of your yard? Take measurements and write them down. Are you starting with a blank? Then fill it in with plants and of course your lawn.
Do you want to start with a new lawn or just refurbish the existing lawn? You’ll need to find the type of grass best suited to your area. Will it be high maintenance, or a lawn you water, mow, maybe edge, and let it grow? You might be able to stop at that, but why not go for the best possible lawn, one your neighbors will admire.
If you’re in the desert, and water is a high priority including the price, there are lawn seeds available for the dry areas that only need to be watered weekly instead of daily. If you’re in a hurry, you can buy sod. Most nurseries and companies that have a garden department carry sod and they will even do it for you.
They will prepare the soil and test it to make sure there are no chemicals in the soil. Then they will lay the (grass) sod down just like they are laying a carpet in your house. After that it will be up to you to take care of it unless you hire a landscaper on a monthly basis. Make sure your agreement will state who will be responsible to care for your lawn. Have them give you a price to install or fix the sprinklers. Will they feed the lawn regularly, edge it, and even spray for bugs, insects, and weeds?
Your yard will have dirt and weeds one day, and the next you will have a beautiful green lawn. Now the curb appeal is right outside your door, and will welcome all who enter your domain.
