When it comes to enhancing your outdoor spaces, landscape lighting plays a crucial role in boosting both aesthetics and functionality. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about landscape lighting, from innovative design ideas to common mistakes to avoid.
If you’ve never heard the term “light trespass,” don’t feel bad. It’s not exactly what people are talking about in line at Starbucks.
But you might have experienced it — if a neighbor’s misdirected landscape lighting blasted into your bedroom window at night or blinded you as you pulled into your driveway.
Cue the swear words.
Your new sod lawn is installed, and your Florida yard has never looked better.
But before you start sending out invitations to that backyard barbecue, be sure you know how to care for your beautiful new lawn for the first few weeks.
After all, you just made a big investment, and you have big plans for your impressive new yard. You need to know how to keep your sod alive.
There’s kind of a dilemma when you’re planning to sell your house, and we’re not talking about how to hide that spot where your dog ate half the windowsill.
You know landscaping and home value are connected, but you don’t want to invest a ton of money in a house you’re leaving. At the same time, you know your home will sell faster and for a better price if it has impressive curb appeal.

If you have an artificial turf lawn, have you looked at it closely lately?
You’re probably too busy deep sea fishing or taking tango lessons or doing all the fun stuff a homeowner can do when they don’t have to mow, weed or fertilize their lawn. Lucky.
But if you’ve had your easy care lawn for a while, take a close look. Your artificial turf’s lifespan isn’t forever.
Can we all take a minute to swear about weeds?
They’re in your lawn, in your flower beds and they even sneak into your planters.
You might think you fooled the leafy villains with that paver project. There’s no way weeds can sprout in hard concrete pavers, right?
Sorry. If you think pavers can prevent weeds, you don’t know weeds.
Landscape maintenance is a year-round thing here in Central Florida, thanks to that mild weather the northerners envy.
Palm fronds drop year round. Crape Myrtles get trimmed in winter. Hedges might need snipping any time of year.
But spring is a great time for a fresh start, landscape-wise.
