Are you losing heat through your windows?

This is the time of year when we realize that heat is seeping out through our windows, robbing the rooms of precious warm air. Did you know that as much as 50% of our heating & cooling energy is lost through our windows? Yes, right out the windows, making the HVAC system work that much harder or making it uncomfortably cold so that you have to turn up the heat.

‘Tis the Season!

Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday. I love the food and the friends and family. Reflecting on this past year, I am grateful for the many blessings in my life including family, friends, and many happy clients.

Preparing home gardening equipment for the winter

Homeowners depend on a variety of equipment to accomplish home landscaping tasks. During winter, most of it is not used and should be appropriately stored. However, some preparation is necessary before putting it away.

Make sure you use plants that fit the site

Fall is an excellent time of the year to install trees and shrubs. During the cold weather months, the top part of the plants grow very slowly, but the roots will continue to grow and expand. By the next growing season, they are better established and can tolerate the hot, dry conditions of the summer.

What about color?

One of the questions I answer most often is about color. Should the window treatment match the wall color or the trim color?

Use multiple tactics to control pests

Pests, whether they are insects, weeds, or plant diseases, are a fact of life in the home and garden.  One of the most efficient ways to control them is to practice “integrated pest management” or IPM, which anticipates problems and uses preventative measures.
