Small Spaces, Big Transformations

McCormick Ranch residents, Scott and Susan wanted to transform their small backyard into unique space for entertaining. The 675 square foot space featured pavers and desert landscaping and they wanted to create a more inviting space that would be great for entertaining friends and their grandchildren. Landscaping by Andre was called in to help design and create a functional space. “This space immediately presented a few challenges,” said Lance Trowbridge, designer. “It was a small area with drainage issues, plus there was an interior atrium that we needed to work around. We also had to bring everything through the front doors because there wasn’t a gate or access to the backyard.” In the end, we created a beautiful space with turf for the dog and an outdoor seating area with pavers. We relocated the cactus to make the space more child-friendly and added a wonderful aloe tree to the indoor atrium. We also brought in several colored, urn style pots color that played off the clay tile roof. We added plants and flowers to give the space, so much needed color.

Overseeding in Arizona

As the evenings start to cool off, we tend to get lots of questions about when to overseed in Arizona. Here a few tips: • Don’t overseed too soon • Wait until at least 3 consecutive nights of temperatures in the 60’s • Don’t cut your grass all the way to the dirt • Before you put the seed down, make sure your irrigation system is fully functioning (or call us for an irrigation tune-up for only $25!) • Once the seed is down, keep it wet until it germinates (we suggest several times a day for 5-7 minutes each) • By week 3 or 4, you should start to see new grass, which means you can cut back the watering to every other day for 10 to 12 minutes a cycle. • Maintaining the new grass is just as important as getting the seed down correctly, let us know if you need any help. Landscaping by Andre has been providing service to Valley home owners and businesses for over 50 years, feel free to call us to schedule a consultant to discuss your overseeding needs, (480)...
