Begin Your Landscape Makeover With Focal Points

Begin your planning by establishing focal points. These can include trees, big shrubs and tall ornamental grasses, as well as structures such as a gazebo, archway, pond, trellis or statue. Once these are in place, the rest of your landscaping can fill in around them.

Grand Rapids Landscaping Tip of the Day: Cost Effective Summer Landscaping

Summer Landscaping touches don't have to cost a lot of money or require a lot of time. The best part of Landscaping is that simple outdoor touches can quickly and easily add to the enjoyment and fun of your backyard and become an extension of your wonderful outdoor living space.

Add a Gazebo to Maximize Outdoor Relaxation!

A gazebo, whether it’s part of your deck or out in your garden, is perfect for any occasion. Gazebos will probably always be popular landscape design ideas for summer bashes, as they provide shady refuge from the sun and comfortable places to lounge around and watch the sun go down on warm evenings.

Happy Friday!

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.

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.

Choose RRR Lawn & landscape for a custom vegetable garden which is raised above the ground

Raised-bed gardening is a great way to grow vegetables -- especially if the garden soil is poor or compacted or has poor drainage. And there's no bending over to pull weeds or harvest vegetables.

Raised beds take very little space, and can be built right over a concrete patio. Drainage in a raised bed is superior to that in an in-ground garden bed. A 12"-deep bed provides ample room for most vegetable roots.
