RRR Lawn & Landscape Grand Rapids Landscaping Tip of the Day: Outdoor Fireplaces

Outdoor Fireplaces

If a full outdoor kitchen is too much, an outdoor fireplace is a great option. Outdoor fireplaces – and smaller outdoor fire pits – are the perfect party features for making S’mores and socializing long after the sun goes down.

Nothing is more essential for the perfect summer party than an outdoor kitchen! With an outdoor kitchen, you can spend time with your guests while you cook, instead of having to miss out on the party to go inside and prepare the food.

Grand Rapids Landscaping Tip of the Day! Adding color to your landscape!

Now is a great time to plant, so take a look around your landscape and decide if you can brighten the place up with a few new “faces.” We can help you with updating your landscape and putting together a free quote once we determine the amount of sunlight affecting that part of your landscape and what type of shrub or tree would give you the “Best Bang for Your Buck”. Flowers are great for short term but by selecting specimens that have interesting color or texture in their foliage also you will have a more lasting visual effect in your landscape.

Pruning: Grand Rapids Lawn & Landscape Tip of the Day!

 If you need to prune trees and shrubs, the best time to do this is before growth starts in the spring. The exceptions to that rule are spring-flowering shrubs. For those, you need to wait until after they finish flowering (mid-season May-July). Spring would be a good time to prune roses and ornamental grasses if they look like they need a trim. We are happy to assist you on any particular pruning questions you may have or give you a quote to do it for you to keep your landscape healthy and shape/size in check.

Grand Rapids Landscaping Tip of the Day from RRR Lawn & Landscape

Plant and transplant:

April and May are good times to plant those new roses, flowering shrubs, fruit trees, evergreens and most deciduous plant but so are the cooler months of late August into September. If you’re still not sure what to plant, you can always contact us. We are able to design and help you plan your landscaping project. As far as transplanting existing plants from one spot to another, time is running out, so the sooner the better. Many plants are already starting their spring growth and you want them to get used to their new spot before the heat starts coming in.

6 Tips for Keeping Your Grand Rapids Lawn Healthy and Green This Summer

6 Tips for keeping your lawn nice and green this summer!


1. Be careful not to overwater. Overwatering produces shallow roots, making it more vulnerable to heat or pests.

2. The besttime to water is early morning, because less water is lost to evaporation.

3. The worst time to water is in the evening, when too little water is lost to evaporation. Diseases are more likely to develop in a wet lawn.

4. Raise that mower and let grass blades grow to 3" in height. Taller blades have deeper roots. Also, higher blades provide more shade for soil, and shade also has the benefit of stunting the growth of weeds.

5. Maintain the lawn, watching for weeds. Weed growth can increase thanks to the heat. Weeds tend to be more resilient.

6. Give the lawn 1 to 2" of water once a week. As a rule of thumb: Running sprinklers for one hour provides 1 inch of water to the area it covers, two inches in two hours, etc.
