When you have already chosen the design you want for your new home, and you think you already have everything set inside your home; and you are done with your appointment to Residential Paint Contractors; then it is time to go outside.
We do not only mean exterior home painting with Residential Paint Contractors though it is part of it; but we go by the landscape.
Choosing how to landscape your new home is really fun most especially to house owners with green thumbs. However, it’s not simply about heading to the nursery and choosing the flowers, hers and shrubs that you like.
Residential Paint Contractors agree, that there are valuable tips in order to get your landscape projects smooth and hassle free.
Here are some tips we have for you.
1. Always take into consideration on how you will place the pathways. Ensure that each pathway levels away from your main house. Most of the time, paths catch water and proper drainage is necessary. You would not want to have water all over your ground, would you?
2. When you place garden beds next to your home, watering them can cause moisture to the foundations of the building. Make sure there is an effective drainage in place. Even more, when garden beds become too moist, so thus your foundation.
3. Residential Paint Contractors also agree that putting flower or garden beds next to your home can cause damage in your exterior home paint in the long run; since too much moisture can also damage paint.
4. Make sure to avoid interfering with any of your home’s footings system and foundations. So be careful where to dig and plant your plants.
5. Never plant trees or any large type of shrubs near your house. The trees’ and shrubs’ roots may cause damage to your home’s foundation. When they lack water, the roots can cause uncontrollable damage to pipes and footings.
6. Root systems of trees planted near the house can stretch as the height of the tree increases. Keep in mind that a small tree can grow into something big, and the roots can grow along with it. There are ideal distances to know about when planning trees and large shrubs.
7. Ensure that there is enough drainage system around your home. Residential Paint Contractors say that when you want your home to be surrounded by plants and shrubs, ensure that there is an adequate drainage system because watering them now and then can cause too much moisture in the soil; causing potential damage to your footings and foundation.
