Up Close and Personal – Green Valley Nursery & Landscape
This is an article which appeared in the Home Improvement & Remodeling Magazine, May 2010.

When you walk or drive through a neighborhood, what catches your eye? Beautiful blooms in complementary colors, gorgeous greenery, a water fountain or pond, a welcoming walkway, a balance of shade trees and shrubs? Certainly, that type of landscaping is attractive and appears to be skillfully created to enhance the home and its style of architecture.
Contrast that with a house where plants are haphazardly placed with out any pattern or plan. Or the one that appears to lack care with flowers that are fading, colors that clash or trees that are gasping for water. The first home is like a painting done by a professional artist. Every detail is picture perfect. The latter is like an unfinished or unframed canvas. (more…)

Curb Appeal: The Home Stager’s Role In Landscape Design
If you have taken on a project that includes improving a home’s curb appeal, there are a few things that you can do to make this task much easier and less cumbersome than it may appear to be. You already have the vision and the expertise, and you know what the yard should look like, so your main obstacle is getting to the bare bones of the yard and keeping it as simple and pretty as it can be without breaking the budget. Here’s what to do.
1) Go out to the curb, or across the street, and take a good look at the yard. Write down details such as broken rails and fences, drab porches, dying trees, and other obvious problems.
2) Get to work with the mowing and cutting back of all unhealthy plants, or even rent a tiller for the day to eat up the weeds and plants that are strangling the yard. Once you have a clean slate, you can see where to put the money.
3) Porch railings can usually be spruced up with a few braces and a coat of paint. The porch itself might also benefit from a fresh new layer of color. If More >
