If you hire any old company to install your landscape lighting, sure, you’ll have lights.
But you might not have magic.
When it’s expertly designed by skilled lighting pros, landscape lighting transforms your home and yard.
It’ll look so elegant and high-end, you might drive right past the first few nights, assuming it’s somebody else’s fantastic house.
A great fence can change everything.
Now your new puppy can romp safely around your yard.
You can eat your morning cereal on the patio in your underwear in privacy. (Yes! Finally!)
But new fences can look kind of bare.
How do you landscape around a fence?
When you daydream about your beautiful new paver patio, you don’t imagine somebody tripping over a crooked paver and tumbling into your avocado corn salsa.
That’s because in your daydream, your pavers are expertly installed. No uneven pavers sticking up, or sunken pavers, or cracked pavers.
There’s a sense of security in having an irrigation system, right?
You know it’s out there, dependably chugging away, keeping your lawn and landscaping happy and healthy.
Bad sod installation. Man, those are three sad words.
Getting new sod is supposed to be exciting. A new lawn! Instantly!
But as magical as it sounds, sod installation isn’t magic. It’s a skill. It’s hard work. It has to be done just right.
If you or your sod installer messed up, you might end up with poorly installed sod.
Here are some signs of bad sod installation:
If the only tree you think about lighting is your Christmas tree, you’re missing out.
When you think about crews installing an irrigation system in your lawn, it’s normal to be a little nervous.
Will there be bulldozers? Fifty guys with big shovels? A herd of furiously digging worker moles?
You have some questions.
Will installing an irrigation system damage my lawn? How will my lawn look after a sprinkler system is installed?
So your dog has been begging you for artificial turf, but you’re just not sure about it.
Here’s the basics: you get an irrigation system installed. You stand on your porch for hours just watching the spinning sprinkler heads, mesmerized by the sound and giddy with happiness.
If you install your sod upside down, that’s a mistake.
If you invite the neighborhood soccer team over for practice the day after your sod goes in, that’s also a mistake.
