Install a new misting system Arizona

by admin on May 2nd, 2012
Posted In: Misting System

Misting System Arizona  The Arizona summer heat is upon us and you need to install a backyard patio misting system to enjoy your yard all summer long.

When properly installed, a patio mist systems can dramatically reduce the temperature in your back yard or anywhere you might need a system. We can install a Misting Systems around your Patio, Pool, Entertainment Areas, Greenhouses, RV, boat, trailer, golf cart, or anywhere you can imagine. Misting systems use very little water (less than half a gallon per hour for each nozzle) and are constructed and installed to last for years. Sure, you can go to a hardware store and pick up a do it yourself kit but you get what you pay for. The key is in the components used and the pump for a true fog effect. By pressurizing water up to 1000 psi and forcing it through a specially designed mist system nozzle, billions of tiny water droplets can be created. Each droplet is smaller than the size of a grain of salt and are so light they actually suspend themselves in the air.  As it evaporates, the water produces cooling up to 30 degree. Because the droplets are so small, they have the ability to remove small particles from the air making fog systems a very effective method of dust and odor control. Misting Systems can be used within your landscape (mist-scaping) or a fog effect can be created in a pool water feature (Fog Deck). The key to the full effect is in the pump, high-quality materials, and regular maintenance.

4 Steps to prepare Bermuda grass for summer

by admin on April 4th, 2012
Posted In: Desert Plant Guide, April Plant Guide, Arizona Lawns, Bermuda Grass, Desert Plant Guide, Tips and Tricks

April is here and so is our amazing weather here in the Arizona desert.  It is time to prepare your bermuda grass Arizona to wake up.  When the evening temperatures stay above 65 degrees the bermuda is ready to come alive.

1.  Lower mower height to 1/2 to 3/4″.

2.  If you overseeding this winter with Rye grass:  turn your water off for 5 days to stress out the rye grass.

3.  Fertilize the bermuda grass with 21-0-0 and follow the product guidelines.  If you did not overseed your grass with Rye grass this winter then you might need to put down a weed and feed to fertilize the lawn and kill the weeds that have popped up.

4.  Increase your water to once a day for about 5 days and watch the Bermuda grass grow.  Check the water and adjust as needed if it is too much water.

When the grass comes in, cut your water back to normal water guidelines.

Synthetic Grass

Posted In: Arizona Lawns, Landscape Design, Synthetic Grass

Arizona custom-landscape-putting-greenSynthetic grass or turf is a viable option for many Arizona homeowners.  The upfront costs may be a bit more but if you are looking for a tropical look without all the work then synthetic grass or artificial turf may be the answer for you.  Today’s synthetic grass has come a long way and looks more natural and is more durable than ever before.  With all the options out there, synthetic grass has also become more affordable then ever before. 

Synthetic turf lawns can withstand the impact and heavy use of families, pets, and children.  There are options for homeowners with pets.  The turf drains so pet accidents will wash right through.  The fibers and infill material will not absorb or retain pet waste odors.  You can wash them with a garden hose and periodically rake them for a perfect lawn year round. 

Are you a golfer who wants to work on your game in the comfort of your home?  Then a backyard synthetic putting green designed around your needs and skill is just what you need.  Your family and friends will enjoy hours of fun with a putting green.  Arizona Putting Greens can be designed with bunkers, chipping platforms, fringe, and contoured hills and mounding to challenge any golfer. 

Arizona Living Landscape can take the vision of a putting green or synthetic grass and integrate it into a complete back yard or front yard design for your own little paradise.  Transform your yard today.  We are a licensed landscape contractor.
