The new year usually means new resolutions, new mantras, and an opportunity to reevaluate our lifestyles and habits. We joke about resolutions being a waste of time or something that is only a matter of time to be broken. But resolutions can be a great thing! They come from a point in time when are evaluating the last year, or the past few years, and are taking the opportunity to say, “I would like this to be different in the coming year.” Resolutions do not have to be about weight loss or exercising more, they can be about enjoying life more. What about spending more time at home enjoying your property?

According to Google trends, the first weekend in December is when we will all be looking to get our Christmas lights up and running. Well our resident expert on all (or at least most) things, Thom has some expert advice on exterior Christmas light decorating.

Autumn is here and according to the Smoky Mountains Fall Foliage Map we are just past peak season for fall color.

But colors are still marking the hills and landscape of our area with gradients of vibrant reds, yellows and oranges. While we love the colors, cooler temperatures and fall holidays and seasonal culinarily, did you say Pumpkin spice latte? However, a by-product of, what is the most common favorite season, is all of these leaves!

GreenRoots designers designs + expert installation are what set us apart from the rest. When our design team takes on a project we are considering the most important factors in creating an outdoor space. Your family’s needs and lifestyle. The flow from the highest traffic areas of your home into the backyard. The sustainability of the materials and construction of your project. And of course, the aesthetic and beauty of the plants, materials and design.

Mushroom Festival is back on State Street this year! We are so excited to meet up with our community at the Mushroom Festival this year. We love meeting all of you and supporting our hometown of Kennett Square, PA.

I think we can all agree that we want to spend more time outside and enjoying our properties. Fall is right around the corner, but even in the summer heat there are so many ways to be able to be in the outdoors and in comfort! What makes a space comfortable regardless of the season?

July is here, so it is time for our yearly reminder that the heat is brutal this time of year! Not only for you, but for your plants!! Even with plants carefully picked for our climate, the brutally hot days can take a toll on our plants. They will need extra care and attention to make sure they have enough water to get them through heat waves. When it is this hot out sometimes we hide inside in the a/c but with this weather it is important take a walk through your property, perhaps with a hose in hand, and give your plants some extra love!

After the holiday high has worn off, it is the perfect time to be planning for spring and summer days and nights spent outside with the people that you love most. A backyard retreat is a space that can be used by the whole family all year long.

Whether you’re in the planning stage for your front curb appeal, or trying to bring the festive to your current front yard, trees and shrubs are an excellent way to get started or to be planning ahead for next year!

When it comes to outdoor Christmas and holiday decorating, the options are really endless. When planning your front design thinking about Christmas and holiday light displays is a surprising consideration you should keep in mind!
