New and Unread Tree-Mails
| Where do I start? I'm a 1st time home owner and I have the inside of my home looking how I want it. Now its time for me to start outside. My father & I dug out the flower bed this fall which was full of ivy type vines and we removed the termite infested wood surrounding it. Winter has come and gone and I don't know what to do. I would like to add some kind of bush/shrub (2 or 3 depending on the size). What kind do I add? I want some very low maintainance. What else would I add to make it attractive, but low maintainance. I would like to add some mulch, what kind? I would like to add an easy to install boarder; something I can do on my own if necessary and won't take a lot of time. Right now some kind of yellow bulb flower is growing and sometime some purple flower will grow around my stairs. Should I dig those out or add a boarder around them? I would also like to add some mulch around my trees. I live in an older neighborhood, so the trees are large. Any suggestions? And, I did not remove my leaves from this fall (my fault) and now after racking all day yesterday I realize I have no grass. What is the process of seeding. Please indicate what to use 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on. I have noticed in the places I do have grass there is some weeds (I think its called crabgrass) can I seed and get rid of that at the same time? There are a lot of questions, but I really need some help! I walked into Home Depot today afterwork and I felt overwhelmed. The people where friendly, but I didn't even know where to start, so I decided to fill this out. Please HELP! Thanks, Candace |
