We all have a picture in our heads of what the perfect holiday should look like.  Unfortunately, it usually contains a crazy amount of work, money and planning to make it happen.  Keep things simple by being organized and realistic with your plans.   Most importantly, delegate some tasks.  You don’t have to do it all on your own! 

Winter Preparation for the Home

Prepare for winter now so you don't pay for it later!

With these beautiful fall days it’s hard to believe that brutal winter weather will soon be here.  It’s important to take the time to prepare your home for winter now in order to prevent costly and difficult repairs during the winter months.  Prepare now so you don’t pay for it later!   

Furnace Inspection
Heating systems can run constantly throughout the winter season. Have a qualified heating technician inspect your furnace and perform any required maintenance before you turn on your heat for the first time this winter. Remember to clean your filters monthly to help your furnace run more efficiently and improve airflow.  This can save you energy and prevent a high heating bill.

Plants for Stunning Fall Color

With some planning you can enjoy fall color in the garden.

With a little planning you can enjoy an amazing display of botanical fireworks in your front yard this fall. Start by clearing out declining summer annuals and trimming back leggy and faded perennials. Once your yard is well groomed you can make a clear plan about the size and quantity of plants you will need to give your landscape a boost with gorgeous fall color.

Water Conservation Tips

Small changes can make a big impact in saving water.

The first step to cut water waste is to fix any water leaks.  Over a one year period, leaky faucets and toilets in the home waste approximately 10,000 gallons per year.  That’s enough water to fill a swimming pool!  That adds up to significant water waste and higher utility costs.  Take action and use the following tips to do your part and conserve water inside and outside the home.
