Helpful Information:
INCREASE YOUR HOME'S VALUE WITH LANDSCAPING:
There’s a close association between the yard and the home. “People associate a beautiful garden with a warm and inviting home,” says Craig Humphries, Director of Consumer Insights at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company. A well-maintained yard also reflects well on the owner’s values. “It gives the impression the inside of the home is as well cared for as the outside,” he says.
NGA's 2007 Lawn and Landscape Service and the Value of Landscaping Survey revealed Americans' attitudes towards their yards. The survey showed that most homeowners believe a well-designed and maintained landscape adds 10 to 19 percent to their home's value. With housing values dropping in many areas of the country, having a beautiful landscape could make the difference between breaking even and making some money on the sale of your home.
Nearly all the homeowners surveyed (94 percent) appreciated the benefits of a well-designed and maintained landscape. The most common benefits cited were that it provides a place of beauty and relaxation for the family, beautifies the neighborhood, reflects positively on the homeowner, and adds real estate value and curb appeal (first impression from passersby) to the home.
BENEFITS OF MULCHING:
Mulching can be one of the most beneficial things you can do for your soil and your plants. If you have not considered mulching your garden in the past, you may want to reconsider.
A 3-4" layer of mulch will help prevent the germination of many weed seeds, reducing the need for cultivation or the use of herbicides. Mulches also help moderate the soil temperature and retain moisture during dry weather, reducing the need for watering/irrigation. Mulches protect the soil from the impact of raindrops that can cause crusting. Crusting can prevent the germination of seedlings.
While there are many types of mulch we use in the Houston area, such as Hardwood, Cedar, Pine, Black, Deco and many others, help improve the soil by adding organic matter as they decompose. They also may encourage the growth of worms and other beneficial soil organisms that can help improve soil structure and the availability of nutrients for plants.
Mulch also can be used to enhance the look of your garden. Many bark mulches provide uniformly rich brown color that contrasts with the plants. The mulch helps keep plants clean by reducing the splash of soil onto leaves during rainstorms, and helps infiltration of the rainfall into the garden.
BENEFITS OF POWER WASHING:
First and foremost, power washing is smart preventative maintenance for all exterior
surfaces. Exterior washing, when done by a professional, helps extend the life of our properties. It eliminates the contaminates that contribute to rot, decay, and the premature failing of the coatings and building materials. Cleaning of buildings, concrete, roofs and wood structures can add years to the life of these surfaces as well as save on costly repairs.

Safety & Health
Dirt, mold, mildew, oil and the many other contaminates we find around our properties all pose risks and may pose costly safety and health issues. Proper washing can protect against such things as slip and fall accidents as well as protect against mold intrusion, allergies and other health and safety related issues.
HOMEOWNERS SPEND MONEY ON LANDSCAPING:
In 2006, 24 percent of U.S. households also spent another $17.3 billion on lawn and landscape maintenance services. This number represents an almost doubling of the money spent on lawn and landscape maintenance services when compared with 2001.
