4 Backyard Renovations To Do Before Summer Ends

Written By Carli Holas

With the summer coming to an end, now is the best time to work on any backyard renovations you’ve put off during the summer. While the temperature may not get as cold as in other states, it’ll be cooler, making it easier on you, your family, and anyone working in your backyard. Here are some backyard renovations that we recommend for you as the summer ends.

#1. GARDEN BORDERS & EDGING

Now that the heat waves are closer to being over for the year, you’ll have the chance to plant new seeds and new life. To keep the garden as well organized and as beautiful as it can be, renovate.

Backyard renovations of the bordering and edging variety come in many different shapes and sizes. We have several different materials for edging alone. This will let you create new and better barriers for your garden beds, pathways, and walkways.

Pavers and hardscapes work just as well to separate your garden from everything else. Whether it be natural stone or concrete, or even one of our several varieties of travertine and porcelain tiles, you can count our materials to put your garden together.

#2. ANTI-WEED PRECAUTIONS

Winter is when the weeds come back, and the fall sets them up for it. A simple backyard renovation to do now is to apply landscape fabric to keep the weeds from coming back. Commonly called the “weed barrier,” you can use these in flower beds, mulched areas, playgrounds, you name it.

To make it even easier to use, we offer it in a multitude of sizes to best fit your needs.

  • 3’ x 50’ roll
  • 3’ x 100’ roll
  • 4’ x 100’ roll
  • 4’ x 300’ roll
  • 6’ x 300’ roll
  • 9’ x 300’ roll
  • 12’ x 300’ roll

#3. ARTIFICIAL GRASS

Maybe, if you’re sick of worrying about weeds altogether, artificial grass is the backyard renovation for you. Artificial grass is less ecologically wasteful than normal grass, not to forget that artificial yards don’t dry out under the heat. You don’t have to worry about forgetting to water this kind of grass. Not to mention that we offer several different types of artificial grass. There’s not just one aesthetic that you need to use, you have the choice of something that will match your house’s aesthetic all year round. This is a backyard renovation that will pay off as soon as it’s finished, for years to come.

#4. EROSION CONTROL

There’s no point in making some backyard renovations if nature is going to run its course and destroy them. We have several products used for erosion control, together and separately. We have product diversity so that in the goal of preserving the facets of your yard, your aesthetic isn’t ruined.

  • Gravel - Comes in various colors and is commonly included in walkways and driveways.
  • Sand & Aggregates - Small to medium-sized rocks used in wells, pathways, mixes, and drainage.
  • Breeze or Minus - Coming in gold, rose, and gray, it’s used in conjunction with rip rap to protect pathways.
  • Rip Rap - Mini-boulders are used to create riverbeds as a form of erosion control, to keep excess water away from where you want it.
