water savers


Water Savers
The trend for outdoor living is still going strong. So is the movement to save water. Did you every think putting in a patio could save water? Well it will and so will so many things you can do to your yard just by eliminating or reducing your grass areas.

A yard without grass does not have to be hot and stark.
or without color. The leading manufacturers of concrete pavers have come up with some wonderful color blends that will match most any home color pallet.
Pavers now come in many shapes and sizes allowing for specialty designs to be integrated into the patio. Once you have chosen your color and design, find a nice spot in your yard to a create your outdoor living space. Once the patio is complete, fill it with comfortable seating and some colorful pots planted with your favorite plants.

Another way to save on water is to make your grass the focal point of your landscape. Create mulch beds and fill them with great plants that will add some interest. Once that is done your grass area will be small enough to enjoy without having to spend your whole weekend mowing, and your household budget will get a break with a lower water bill.

Whichever way you decide, you will be saving on of our most precious resources and that is a very good trend.
