Over the last few months, we have spent a lot more time at home than we would have expected to earlier in the year. For those who were not directed impacted by the pandemic, many welcomed the slower pace additional time at home with family. However, spending excess time at your house may have resulted in you and your spouse identifying long-neglected home improvement projects. Many have spent this season of social distancing replacing flooring, painting walls, repairing decks, improving patios, and more. You may have that you either need to add fencing or it is time to upgrade. Before you settle on chain link or something you have used in the past, you may want to consider the vinyl fencing.
Landscaping is an intensive job - but it is also a passion for many of us! We want our properties to look their best, so we plant, prune, groom, and grade to ensure it affords us both the functionality we need and the look we want. After all that work… how is your fence looking? While fences are practical (e.g. for privacy, safety, etc.), they can also work hard to create the right aesthetic for our homes. So is your fence as beautiful as your landscaping?
Some ideas to get you started - and some inspiration to fuel your landscaping dreams:
The weather is getting warmer in western North Carolina. Winter is a little slower to yield its grip on the mountains than it is in the foothills and piedmont but when it finally does, there is a marvelous display of color beginning at the valley floor and climbing to the highest ridges. Visitors from all over the country make their way to Asheville for the Spring. It is typically a time for festivals, music events, and all manner of celebration that warm weather is here.
With spring comes the promise of sunny days and opportunities to explore the multitude of hiking and mountain biking trails, campgrounds, and waterways. Asheville residents and tourists will float down rivers and streams, raft down whitewater rapids, and walk thousands of miles of trails to incredible views, wildflowers, waterfalls, and swimming holes.
If your pup has been chewing, barking excessively, whining, and generally acting up, try this simple trick: let him run! After an hour - or even a few minutes - of intensive play, he’ll be tuckered right out. And, as they say, a tired dog is a happy dog… and a happy dog is a well-behaved dog. A fenced-in yard provides a safe outlet for all of his energy, and it could not be more convenient for you. The key is choosing the right type of fence for your pooch.
