When asked what people are looking for when it comes to tackling the landscape remodel, most people respond with low maintenance and when it comes to ground cover, few things are as low maintenance as artificial turf. Advancements in turf tech have come a long way from the classic green carpet days, so today I’m gonna show you how you can install a beautiful artificial turf lawn at your home.

This one is pretty difficult because it’s a pretty labor-intensive installation and requires some specialty tools depending on your application. This is one of those rare instances where I’ll say that this isn’t really a pure DIY job, meaning that it’s not really something I recommend doing on your own. That’s not to say it can’t be done, as you’ll see, but at least having several people available to help you will make your life so much easier.

If your installation is over an existing lawn area, your first step will be to kill the existing lawn and remove as much of it as possible. If you have a solid base to work from and want to skip ahead over the next part, I’ll leave a timecode link down below to take you to the next steps. If you need to fill and grade the area like I do, I’ll show you how you can do that now.

One of the most important steps is making sure the area is graded properly and what that means is that it’s sloped properly for adequate drainage. In this case, I worked with my building transit to create a grading map of the area. The transit allows you to set a level point of reference so you can measure the elevation differences across your area to create a grading map.

Now that may sound a little bit complicated but once you get the hang of it, it’s really not that difficult. What you’re trying to do is figure out the elevation change from one point to another point, once you get used to it a few times it’s pretty easy to do. In this case, I want the highest elevation of the installation to be up against the house and slope towards the outer walls 1/4 inch per foot. So since this area is roughly 18 feet wide, I want the highest area by the house to be four and a half inches higher than the outer wall grade.

As I bring infill and compact it, I repeatedly check the grade to make sure that it is what I need it to be. Compaction is important because the loose soil or fill will settle over time. So compaction speeds up that process and will make sure the installation lasts for a very long time. Adding water throughout the process helps the soil or fill dirt settle and also helps keep the dust down.

You can rent both a vibratory plate like this one, which is good for vibrating about 4 inches deep of material or a jumping-jack like this one, which allows you to compact a little thicker base material and is good for around edges. If you are adding a lot of fill to an area, it’s a good idea to compact it in layers along the way until you get the elevation about a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch below where you want your final turf elevation to be.

Now this is where I made a mistake on my initial installation. As I reach my final grade, I should have used a fill material with a smaller aggregate like decomposed granite for the final four inches. An aggregate is basically the stone material that’s in your fill, so if you have small stone, you can compact it a lot easier. The road base that I used had larger rocks in it even though it was supposed to be small, so it didn’t compact super smooth when I rolled out the turf initially and I can feel all the little discrepancies. More on that later, but that’s why I’m saying that the preparation is the most important part of the installation.

Once you’ve established the proper grade and compacted the base, you can roll out the turf and cut it to the proper size using a utility knife or a turf cutting tool. Be sure to cut the turf slightly larger than the area that you’re installing in that way you can trim off any excess later on and ensure complete coverage. If your area is larger than the turf roll, you’ll need to seam the turf, which I’ll show you how to do shortly.

Getting the turf into the installation area was a little tricky and where I definitely could have used an extra set of hands to move. So, once I had the piece cut and rolled out in the area, that’s when I realized my base preparation wasn’t going to work because I could feel all the little bumps and stones and stuff caused by the larger aggregate. So, what I ended up doing was scrape back a little bit of the fill and skreeted a thin layer of sand on top to create a very flat, nice, soft surface if I were to do it again I would use a decomposed granite base for the final few inches of fill.

Now to seam the pieces together I ripped another strip of the turf paying close attention to make sure that the fibers were oriented in the same direction and then aligned the edges along with the other piece. Once I made sure the pieces lined up properly, I used a few landscape spikes to hold the pieces in place and folded open the seam.

Next, I rolled out some turf seam tape and staked it in place along the length of the seam. Now I don’t recommend you buy these cheap landscapes staples off of Amazon unless you want to waste half of them by bending them. I’d recommend just buying 6-inch galvanized landscape spikes.

From there, you’ll want to apply a liberal amount of outdoor carpet adhesive to the tape and spread it evenly across the whole thing using a notched trowel. Let the glue set up for about 10 to 15 minutes and then slowly work your way down the seam connecting the two sides and securing the seam in place with landscape spikes. Pay careful attention to make sure that you get a tight seam between the two pieces.

Once you’ve let the glue set up, make your way around the perimeter of the installation area and use landscape spikes to secure the turf in place. If you notice any wrinkles or loose areas in your turf, you can use a carpet kicker like this one to help you get the turf nice and tight. You can use a variety of different tools to cut off the excess on the edges, but I had the best luck with just a regular sharp utility knife.

Work your way around the entire perimeter tightening, staking and cutting as you go. Take your time to carefully cut around any obstacles like trees, planter beds or drains like this one. Once you have laid the turf out and installed next, you’ll add the infill. Many people are familiar with the little rubber pellets you see in sporting applications, but for residential use, the most common infill is actually sand.

And finally, once the sand is installed, the final step for the installation is to use a stiff-bristled push broom or a turf rake to sweep the sand into the fibers and help them stand up. Make sure to work in the same direction across the turf to help create a uniform surface. From there, you can do any last-minute touch-ups around the edges or at the seams with a pair of scissors, which will be the last time you’ll ever have to cut this grass. And that’s it you are finished with this project.

So that’s it for this project I hope you guys enjoyed it and I hope you learned something new I know I did as this was my first time installing synthetic turf like this. As I mentioned earlier, it’s not a project that I recommend that you tackle as one person, but it’s definitely something you and a few friends can knock out in a weekend.My family absolutely loves the way this space came together, and it’s such a comfortable and nice play area for my son. And I know a lot of you are going to ask about the heat it does get much hotter than normal grass in the direct sun, but as we’re typically not spending a ton of time outside in the middle of the hot hot day it’s not a huge deal for us and it’s very comfortable in the mornings and in the late afternoons.

— Elizabeth Wright

HAMILTION, OHIO, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Landscaping is the art and science of making the front of a property beautiful and giving it a personality. Many Ohio businesses and residences have lush-green shrubs and shady trees, enhancing the property’s beauty and appeal.

However, without the knowledge of indigenous plants and proper maintenance, it doesn’t take time for a beautiful lawn to turn into something undesirable. In addition, weather elements, vegetation growth, and surface-feeding insects can ruin the lawn or landscaping. As a result, many Ohio residents in Cincinnati and West Chester employ professional landscaping contractors like K & R Lawn & Landscaping to maintain, care for, and enhance their property.

There are various elements to consider when designing or planning to do a makeover of a lawn or landscape. For example, the size of the property, front area, tree selection, lighting, and drainage system are essential factors for a landscape design. Those with smaller outdoor areas would benefit from planting trees with less canopy area and vegetation that can sustain weather year around.

Young couples want to create a landscape with space for a BBQ and built-in fireplaces to host weekend parties. An experienced contractor understands that everyone is different, so do their landscaping requirements. For instance, many residents in Ohio work with K & R Landscaping Hamilton to design a stunning and functional landscape renovation, including perennial gardens and lawn installation.

“I couldn’t be happier with K & R Landscaping! Kevin and his team are the most pleasant and professional people to work with. Sarah is extremely helpful and pleasant! I had lighting installed in my landscaping today, and it is simply stunning. It took me a long time to find a qualified company for all of my landscaping needs, but it was well worth the wait. I’ll be with these guys for the rest of my life. Westchester landscaping at its finest.” -Elizabeth Wright

A home with a well-designed outdoor living area provides a place for family and friends to socialize, entertain guests, and enjoy the outdoors without worrying about their safety. The latest landscaping designs in West Chester indicate a preference for geometrical designs, pollinator-friendly gardens, and visually appealing landscapes. People also want to make their lawns beautiful and functional.

According to K & R Landscaping West Chester, one of Cincinnati’s Premier Landscaping Company, homeowners and businesses prefer a design that accommodates walkways and patios to sunrooms, walls, fire pits, and water walls that enhance the curb appeal of a property. Provided that landscaping design can increase the property value, offer a beautiful space for distress, and improve mental health, many have started to go beyond the cookie-butter design to create an outdoor space to have fun, relax, and enjoy the outdoors.

About K&R Lawn & Landscaping

K & R Landscaping has been a dependable company for various landscaping services for homes and businesses since 2007. Located in Hamilton, OH, K & R Landscaping provides comprehensive landscaping and hardscaping services for residential and commercial properties in Hamilton, West Chester, and Cincinnati, Ohio.

What is Edible Landscaping?

Edible landscaping is the practice of using edible plants in your landscape design. You can do this in various ways, such as using edible plants as ornamentals, adding fruit and nut trees, or planting a vegetable garden.

Edible landscaping is a great way to add interest and beauty to your yard while providing fresh, healthy food.

There are many benefits to edible landscaping. In addition to providing fresh produce, edible plants attract birds and other wildlife, help pollinate other plants, and provide natural pest control. Edible landscaping is also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint since you won’t be transporting food from elsewhere.

There are many different types of edible plants that you can use in your landscape. Here are some of the most popular:

fruit

edible landscaping using apples

1. Apple’s – Apples are excellent landscaping plants because they are visually appealing, low maintenance, and provide food for wildlife. The different varieties of apples offer a range of colors, shapes, and sizes, making them able to fit into any landscape design.

In addition, apples are relatively disease-resistant and require little fertilizer, making them easy to care for. Finally, apples are a food source for many animals, including birds and deer.

2.Blueberries are incredibly edible landscaping plants because they are relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning and fertilization.

Second, they tolerate many soil types and can even thrive in poor soils. They are attractive plants that provide year-round interest, with white flowers in the spring, blueberries in the summer, and reddish-purple foliage in the fall.

3. Cherries – Given their small size and proficient root systems, cherries are perfect landscaping plants. They quickly fill in any gaps in your landscape without overpowering other plants.

Additionally, cherries require little maintenance and are relatively disease-resistant. As a bonus, their bright fruits add a pop of color to your landscape and can attract birds and other wildlife.

4. Peaches are the perfect landscaping plants because they are relatively easy to grow, have a long blooming season, and provide food for both people and wildlife.

They have a long blooming season, meaning they will add color to your landscape for months. Peaches also provide food for both people and wildlife. The fruit is popular with birds, and the leaves can be used to make tea. In addition, the blossoms are fragrant and add interest to any garden.

5.Pears – Pears are well-suited to landscaping because they are hardy plants that can tolerate a wide range of climates and soil types. Second, they are relatively low-maintenance, requiring little in the way of care or fertilizer.

Finally, pears are beautiful plants that add aesthetic value to any landscape. In addition, pears produce an abundance of fruit, making them a good choice for those looking to add an edible element to their yard.

pink roses

1. Rose: Roses are perhaps the most classic of all edible flowers. They have a delicate, sweet flavor and can be used to make rosewater, syrup, or jam.

2. Hibiscus: Hibiscus flowers have a tart, cranberry-like flavor and can be used in brewing tea or as a garnish for cocktails.

3. Calendula: Calendula flowers are not only beautiful, but they are also edible. The flowers have a slightly astringent taste and can be used in salads or as a garnish.

4. Nasturtium: Nasturtiums are another popular edible flower. They have a spicy, peppery flavor and can be used in salads or as a garnish.

5. Squash Blossoms: Squash blossoms are delicate and have a mild, sweet flavor. They can be used in salads, soups, or garnish.

6. Sunflowers: Sunflowers are not only beautiful, but their seeds are also edible. The seeds can be roasted and used as a snack or in baking recipes.

7. Violet: Violets have a sweet flavor and can be used in a candied recipe or added to a salad for sweetness and color.

8. Jasmine: Jasmine flowers have a delicate, floral flavor and are often used in brewing tea or as a garnish for desserts.

Vegetables

edible landscaping vegetables - squash

1. Lettuce – Lettuce is a cool-weather crop that can be grown in spring and fall. It comes in various colors and textures, making it a visually appealing addition to the garden. Lettuce is often used in salads, but you can add it to sandwiches, wraps, and other dishes for a burst of flavor.

2. Cucumber – Cucumbers are a popular choice for edible landscaping due to their vigorous growth and ability to produce large fruits. Cucumber plants can be trained to grow up trellises or fences, making them a versatile addition to any garden.

3. Egg plant – Eggplants add a touch of elegance to any garden with their large, glossy leaves and beautiful flowers. Eggplants are also relatively easy to grow and are very productive, making them an excellent choice for any gardener.

Maintaining your landscaping can be exhausting, and no one wants to spend the summer toiling away in the yard. Here are some changes you can make to cut down on maintenance so you can spend your summer afternoons sipping lemonade in the garden instead.

These low-maintenance landscaping ideas are often cost-effective, comparatively easy to maintain, and look absolutely beautiful no matter your climate and local landscape. Plus, many alternative landscaping ideas are environmentally friendly!

Hardscape

Eliminate the need for weeding by covering a large section of lawn in hardscaping. Hardscapes can be built from brick, stone, pavers, or gravel and crushed rock. Choose your hardscape materials based on your budget or your aesthetic—large rocks and pavers are at the more expensive end of the spectrum, with crushed rocks on the more budget-friendly side.

Hardscapes are an excellent opportunity to add living space to your outdoor areas. Create a fire pit and seating area in the far sections of your yard, or add a patio adjacent to your home. They’re great spaces for hosting, crafting, and just relaxing.

Mulch, mulch, mulch!

Mulch helps prevent weeds and retains moisture around your landscaped plants. Mulch also adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes, so go organic if possible to get the most out of this natural weed mat. Plan to add new mulch every spring to give your garden the best care.

Stones and pebbles

Use stones or pebbles in garden beds as a more permanent solution than mulch, or use them as paths through mulched beds. Artfully laid stones, think “rivers” of pebbles, can also add interest to a garden area without requiring planting or pruning. Use a combination of larger rocks and smaller pebbles to create a rock garden.

Low maintenance plants

Perennials are the low-maintenance gardener’s dream. They come back every year, and all you have to do is water and prune! When planting these perennials, don’t be afraid of open space between them; just know that the tighter they’re packed, the fewer weeds they’ll allow in.

Here are a couple of great perennial options to consider for your landscaping:

  • lavender: The soft purple buds on the lavender plant are not only beautiful but also fragrant. You can collect and dry the sprigs to add scent to your interior space or just enjoy their natural bug-repelling properties in the yard.
  • Ground cover plants: Ground cover plants like clover and moss can be attractive lawn replacements, don’t require as much water, and you won’t have to mow! In garden areas, use “creeping” plants with pretty blossoms like phlox or vinca to fill large areas and crowd out weeds.

Potted plants

Use pots of plants to add interest and flexibility to your landscaping, giving you the color and flowers without the weeds or commitment. Potted plants can live on the deck for a party and out in the garden for everyday enjoyment. You can even move some potted plants inside as the weather cools to allow you to celebrate summer a little bit longer.

Artificial grass

If you really love the look of green turf but don’t want the hassle of watering, mowing, or weeding, artificial lawns may be your answer. Keep in mind that the upfront cost is substantially higher than sod, but it will save you both time and money down the road.

Make your home garden more enjoyable and easier to maintain with some of these low-maintenance landscaping ideas. You’ll spend more time relaxing in your outdoor space and have more time to spend with family and friends.

Now that the summer is finally here, we are all looking to spend more time outside. Especially after a  year of social distancing and staying at home more than usual. That is why, it is very important to have a backyard, balcony or terrace where we can enjoy the fresh air and relax. Just having one of these is not enough, however, it is also important to turn them into real zen places where you can enjoy time with your family or relax with a nice book after a long day at work. That is exactly why in this article we are going to share with you some backyard design ideas, which are not just going to turn your yard into a beautiful space, they are also going to make it a modern exterior to impress your guests.

Our backyards turned into safe havens during this past year

 

If you are looking for ideas which are easy to follow without breaking the bank, we’ve got you covered. After all, not everyone can afford infinity pools and large outdoor kitchens. Fear not, however, we are going to share some pretty simple ideas with which you can have a modern back yard without spending a ton of money.

Embrace the natural

All back yards need nature. In general even if you haven’t worked on anything in your back yard it will always have some kind of grass, trees and plants. Use that to your advantage. Use the natural shade of the trees and place a few lounge chairs underneath. Furthermore, use any hedges and bushes as a fence which is going to give you privacy. To sum up, use the natural resources of your back yard as much as you can.

Embrace the natural resources your yard has to offer

Build your own fire pit

Fire pit create such a nice and relaxing ambience. What’s more, they can be the perfect spot for yourself and your family to relax during those cool summer nights. The good news is that you can build your own fire pit. What’s more, you don’t have to break the bank in order to do it. So, look at a few tutorials and start building. Then, add a few lounge chairs or even just cushions around it and you are all set. This will be your favorite spot in your entire house. Trust us!

Invest into long lasting garden furniture

Listen, if there is one thing you need to spend money on, it’s garden furniture. Once again, you don’t have to break the bank and buy super expensive furniture or even whole sets of them. All you need is two or three garden lounge chairs and you are all set. Make sure they are made of a material which doesn’t mind staying in the cold or rain. Also make sure that their cushions are removable, so that you can keep them inside if the weather is bad. That way this will be a long term investment. Just pick a spot in your garden, preferably with some natural shade and place them there. This will be your lounge area made with little effort and on a budget.

Investing in good garden furniture is important

IF you don’t have a lot of space that doesn’t mean that your back yard can’t look modern and trendy. Once again you can invest in garden furniture, just make sure that they are not too much for the space you have. You can center them around a fire pit or a small table. Another option is to get a hammock and create a backyard with a boho vibe. If you have two tall trees which are close together you can hang the hammock on them. If not, you need to buy one with a stand. Either way this will still be a super trendy backyard, even if it is small.

Just because your back yard is small, doesn’t mean it can’t be trendy and modern

Backyard design ideas for large space

If you have been blessed with a large back yard than you are lucky. However, a large back yard might also mean a bigger investment. The good news for you though is that once you invest in it, you will have an amazing space which you can show off in front of all of your guests.

Install a pool

Pools can be expensive, but if you have a large yard, it is almost a crime not to have one, especially if you live some place where it is hot year round. Set up the pool so that you have enough space around it for lounge chairs. What’s more, you can even situated it next to an outdoor bar or kitchen. That way, you can go straight from the pool to your cocktail in no time.

Investing in a pool is a big decision, but it is worth it

Create designated areas

Pool, lounge area, outdoor kitchen, outdoor bar. If you have a big enough back yard, you will have space for all of these. What’s more, having all of these designated areas will make your back yard the perfect place to throw a party. Separate the areas with flower beds or stone tiles and make sure you have enough lighting everywhere.

Having a large back yard give you a lot of freedom for decoration

Make your garden furniture your centerpiece

For a large backyard, good furniture are of utmost importance. That is exactly why we advise you to spare no expenses. For a good lounge area invest in a garden set with sofas, lounge chairs and table. You can take it even further and invest in swings like the ones shown in the photo below. This will make the area the centerpiece of your back yard and will be super comfortable and relaxing any time you need to kick back and enjoy some free time.
