Wow!  Is it really almost here?  It seems as if we were just getting ready for Spring of last year.  Well we are well into 2010 and ready to start that spring planning.  We are scheduling for Spring clean ups and plantings.  If you are looking to enhance your landscape call us for assistance.  We would love to help you turn your outdoors into the outdoors that you dream of.  We have horticulture professionals waiting to assist you.  This is about the time of year that everyone is thinking about getting outside and noticing the projects they would like to work on.  I don’t know about you but I already have a list of things that I am working on.  I have plants I need to plant and turf that needs some work before those spring rains and temps get here.  Maybe you want to have some perennials beds installed or thinking of something along the lines of hardscapes.  Have you ever thought of how nice it would be to come home and sit next to your very own water garden?  Call Highland Grounds for any of your outdoor needs, after all “we are your complete landscape solution”.

It is hard to believe but it January and time to start preparations for Spring.  Everybody likes to “spruce” up the outdoors when Spring comes in, so let us help you with those plans.  We can help no matter what you have in mind.  We can work with a design that you already have or we can design for you.  Call us or email us to set a time to sit and talk about it.  We can even help you with those leaves that you still have to remove.  Mention that you saw our website and get that 10% discount on whatever the service is.  Don’t wait because our internet special won’t last much longer.

As we start a new year we at Highland Grounds are hoping that you and your family had a blessed Christmas.  We are gearing up for what we hope to be a great year.  We are really concentrating on our lawn and landscape maintenance.  We do maintain commercial and residential properties with specializing in detailed oriented work.  Give us a call to discuss your needs and our services.

Highland Grounds just finished constructing our most recent water garden.  This one can be found in the new Kobe Japanese Steakhouse in Tuscaloosa, AL.  The Midtown Village is the home of this new restaurant.   The restaurant is scheduled to open soon, so if you are in the area stop by and have dinner and and enjoy our water garden.  

I know that it is hard to imagine, but Fall is just around the corner.  Actually, it starts next Monday.  It seems like summer just started, though when you look around you will notice that the leaves are already changing to their beautiful fall colors.  This is a wonderful time of the year to get out and enjoy the outdoors.  The temperature is nice and there is usually a breeze out. 

After those leaves fall and are all sitting on your lawn they are not so beautiful anymore.  Call Highland Grounds and we will come remove them and get your yard looking like it should.  We can also take a look at those projects that you are wanting to get done in your lawn.  Don’t let your leaves ruin your Fall.

This is a GREAT time of the year to get the water garden that you’ve always wanted.  The weather is starting to change and is more enjoyable to be outside.  This is a very relaxing atmosphere to add to your outdoor living space.  With little maintenance and the soothing sounds of water you too can look forward to coming home and relaxing outside.

It is never too early to start planning ahead.  We at Highland Grounds are already making our schedule for the Fall.  If you are like many people and are tired of the leaf clean up call us for an estimate.  In most cases we can get by your house in a day and get you the estimate back quickly.  You don’t want to wait until the last minute to call and get on the schedule.

With that, if you are thinking of landscape renovations or new installation, fall is a good time to get that done.  It will give the plants a chance to start rooting in over the Winter.  When the Spring get here everything will be done and ready for your enjoyment.

Highland Grounds has been busy repairing irrigation systems that haven’t run much in the last couple of years because of the droughts that we have had.  Now is a good time to make sure your systems are working effectively and efficiently.  Call us now to set up a time to check yours.
