Summer is about to come to a close and fall is getting ready to hit Nebraska. Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year, and we all try our best to enjoy every bit of it before winter arrives. If you have been thinking about doing a landscaping project this year, whether that’s putting up a new fence, building a deck, or replanting your trees, now is the time to do it before we are covered in snow. This is also a time to be proactive about your lawn and take the necessary steps to winterize it before the first freeze hits. By doing this, not only will you be prepared for winter weather, but you will also be prepared for spring when the ice melts and it’s time to maintain our lawn again. We spoke to local lawn care and landscaping professionals about the landscaping projects you still have time to complete, and what you should do to protect your outdoor space against the soon-to-come bitter cold.

Redesign Your Space

Landscaping is a beautiful art, but it is also one of the more difficult creative forms to try on your own. This is why we have professionals in Omaha to help us with our landscaping projects, including Meza Gardens & Design (mezagardensanddesign.com). This women- and minority-owned landscape design-build company can help you boost your curb appeal by transforming your empty and uneventful yard into a vivid space full of life and blossom.

Finally, they help you maintain your yard with consistent and respectful care through whatever your yard needs, whether it is weed control, deadheading perennials, or trimming trees and shrubs.

Exterior Remodeling

In the 2019 Remodeling Impact Report by the National Association of REALTORS® Research Group, it was concluded that installing a new roof is at the top of the list of exterior renovation projects in terms of value. It is estimated that a new roof can recover 107% of the original cost at resale! A gorgeous landscape deserves to have an attractive house sitting on it, and with data like this, it’s hard to leave out the exterior of your home when conducting fall landscaping projects. Stonebrook Exterior (stonebrookexterior.com) can help you with all of your home exterior needs. Their talented team can work on roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and more.

Family Owned and Operated

COVID taught us to enjoy more time outside, and that pastime has carried well into post-pandemic days. No better way to sit down, relax, eat some food straight off the grill, and watch the family dog chase your kids around the luscious grass that by enjoying it from a deck! Decks are a great way to decorate and utilize your landscape. They add a beautiful aesthetic appeal, increase the square footage and value of your home, and provide an additional spot to enjoy time with family and friends.
