Summer by Swan General Homestead
Summer is here and it is hot as balls. And a barren yard with no hardscape or landscape features is gonna make your house even hotter. And your outdoor space unusable. And your home value not as great as it could be. And it looks like shit.
Luckily, there is so much you can do!
Add a pergola or shade sails. Duh.
Add a permeable surface in areas. Use cobble, flagstone, decking, etc to create a usable surface for dining, chilling, whatever. Make sure it is permeable so any water is absorbed and used for your underground root systems instead of just running off.
Hey, why not add an amazing outdoor kitchen? Then you can BBQ your ass off! Impress your friends! Be the coolest!
Get a landscape plan and prepare to plant in Fall. You can’t plant in Summer. It’s too hot, the plants will hate it and will have a hard time establishing. But, get your act together and get a landscape plan together for adding plants and probably trees too if you don’t already have any.
And guess what? SGH does all of this.
