Keeping Your Lawn Fresh and Attractive

It's now Autumn and the temperature is dropping. Your lawn is craving a new breed of attention. The leaves will be falling soon littering your yard with vibrant oranges and yellow, and now that it is a cold season you may need to change your grass type. Like all cool season grass, Kentucky Blue Grass, survives best during Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons, but if you want the best of the best you should choose Tall Fescue Grass. This is probably the most beautiful type of grass out there. If it is dense enough, it can provide a good weed and disease resistant lawn. It needs plenty of water to remain dark green, but makes for a stunning lawn year round.   
 Landscape your yard, and keep it clean! Make sure that your trees and bushes are pruned, and your grass is cut. Maybe even plant some pretty flowers. A nice yard automatically adds to any house. Cool season flowers bring an abundance of color to a fall garden. Personally a favorite combination of mine would have to be Enchantment Linaria's with very fragrant blooms of intense magenta and gold blend with Citrona Yellow erysimum and  Matrix Blue pansies. Simple colors like yellow can make your home very inviting.

If your goal is to sell your home, then keeping your yard appealing is a must. Take a stroll across the street or down the block to get a good view of your home. You could notice areas that once spruced up, can make your home much more attractive. How clean is your home? Do you have any mildew on the sides of your house? Is your sidewalk and driveway in good condition? You could make your home sparkle with only a few hours of spare time and a pressure washer. Remember, even little things like making your house numbers clearly visible can make your house stand out from the rest.
