When selling a home, first impressions are important. Often landscaping determines whether your home feels inviting to potential home buyers. 7 in 10 people looking for a new home list "curb appeal" as important in their search & how the landscape looks is a large part of that curb appeal. An attractive , well maintained landscape adds value to your home.Follow these tips for sprucing up your yard to help your home sell quickly.

Annuals - adding a splash of color can go a long way in making a landscape stand out. Planting some colorful annual flowers is a relative inexpensive way to spruce things up.

Pruning - Shape up any overgrown or unsightly trees & shrubs. Pay attention to plants that have overgrown a sidewalk area or are blocking window views. Consider removing shrubs that are too overgrown & planting something new or maybe adding a container plant in its place
.
Mulch - A fresh layer of mulch is another easy way to spruce up a landscape. The fresh color helps define lines & the strong contrast makes everything pop.

Landscape Beds - Weed landscaped areas & remove leaves & any other debris. Make sure hoses are wound up & put away. Metal edging is a cost effective way to divide landscape beds from the lawn.

Walkways & Drives -Use weed killer to get rid of vegetation growing out of cracks & seam. Use an edger or string trimmer to take care of grass & weeds that are growing over the sides of walkways - sharp straight lines make a lawn look well maintained.

Fertilize - Having an open house in the next week or two? A light fertilizer application ahead of time will make the lawn look green and healthy

Pressure Washing - Consider cleaning brick, vinyl siding, paved areas , decks & walkways with a pressure washer. It is an inexpensive way to make a home look newer & more inviting.

Comparing Fine and Tall Fescue Grass Seed Varieties

Grass is grass right?
Not so. If you live in the United States and are considering a major overhaul to your property, it is vital you understand the differences between tall fescue and fine fescue grass varieties. By understanding the advantages and disadvantages to each type, you can make an informed decision about what seed variety will work best in your particular area. The time spent in research will maximize all that hard work and money with years of beautiful green grass to enjoy with your family.Common traits of fescue grasses
Fescue grasses are considered cool season grasses, designed to work in the majority of the United States and into Canada. Both types of fescue grass are built with three major advantages; they are tolerant of the shade, able to withstand long periods without rain, and stay green all year. They also need less fertilizer due to a deep root system. The fescue grasses solve the problem that other grass varieties have with areas of significant temperature fluctuation; the warm season grasses cannot handle the cold winters, and the cool season grasses cannot handle the hot summer. The fescue grasses are able to handle the wide range of temperatures. Because of this, many seed mixtures contain fescue grasses as well.What are the differences between the two types?Tall fescue grass
Tall fescue grass is a broad-leaved bunching grass that works well for lawns and sports fields. Despite the word "tall" in its name, this grass when left un-mowed will not grow taller than 20". The newer varieties can be used for pastures with livestock. If the lawn is subject to extreme drought or insect damage, you can over seed a tall fescue grass in the fall to help prepare the lawn for the next warm season. This grass is built to withstand a lot of traffic, thus making it a good choice for large areas that get a lot of activity. The tall fescue grass performs a bit better in the heat than the fine fescue variety.Fine fescue grass
This variety excels in the shade. It will continue to grow rapidly despite the lack of sun. Keep in mind that if fine fescue is planted in full sunlight, it will slow down the growing process. If you have long periods of heat, this grass will have to be watered more frequently. On the flip side, it the preferred grass seed for the colder climates. Fine fescue grass seed is usually added to seed mixtures to help compliment the other variety. It is a non-aggressive, drought resistant, low maintenance grass that germinates in 14 days. There are several sub-species of fine fescue grass bred for more particular adaptations.

Sub-species of fine fescue grass

Creeping red fescue
Like its name implies, the creeping fescue creeps along the ground. This variety is especially hardy in the cold and shaded areas and has a red tint at the base of the leaf. Creeping fescue is also used for areas that are left un-mowed, such as meadow slopes and roadside locations.

Chewings fescue
This grass variety is used primarily to round out seed mixtures. The seed does well in sandy soils and can be mown quite low. The disadvantage to chewings is that it is not as tolerant to wear and tear as other varieties.

Hard fescue
Hard fescue is in fact one of the "hardiest" varieties of fescue grass. It can be grown at high elevations and performs well in droughts, the cold, and shaded areas. The grass has a pretty blue-green color that stays green for longer than other types. It cannot be mown too low and its growing habits mimic a lot of tall fescue types.

Which one is right for you?
Once you have a better understanding of the different types of fescue grasses, take down some notes about the particular area you are seeding. Watch the sun path, look up the average high and low temperatures of the year, and analyze the amount of foot traffic and frequency of mowing. Once you have that settled, you will be able to choose the type of fescue grass that works best for your needs.

Ornamental grasses are a nice low maintenance addition to almost any landscape. They are  easy to care for as they tend to be relatively disease and pest free. Most varieties require little watering or fertilizer. There are many different sizes and shapes to choose from.Smaller ones are often used as ground covers while larger ones can be used as ground cover while larger ones can be used as privacy hedges. Mid-sized varieties often make nice borders for landscape beds.

Warm season grasses start to grow vigorously  in the late spring  and early summer when things start to heat up. They tend to need less water  and are relatively low maintenance. Most flower in the late summer and fall. Here are  a few examples of more commonly used warm season ornamental grasses.

Mowing the lawn at the appropriate height is important to achieve a pleasant appearance and for the overall health of the grass.. Cutting the turf too short can lead to thinner grass with shallower roots and lead to other problems such as weed and pest infestations that commonly occur in stressed lawns. All grass varieties should be mowed at or near their optimal mowing height. This will keep grass greener,  healthier, denser and give it a better appearance. . Thicker and taller  means more soil surface shading, which severely restricts the germination of many annual grassy and broad leaf weeds and also leads to better water retention. Maintaining a dense and healthy lawn is the best weed control

Suggested mowing heights

Fine fescue: 2.5 to 4 inches

Kentucky bluegrass: 1.75 to 3.5 inches

Perennial ryegrass: 1.75 to 3.0 inches

Tall fescue: 2.5 to 4 inches

Bermuda: 0.5 to 2.5 inches

Zoysia: 0.5 to 3 inches

 


Cooler season grasses ( rye, bluegrass fescue) can handle taller mowing heights while warm season grasses ( bermuda & zoysia) can be mowed shorter. Turf grasses grow at different rates depending on weather, type, location (sun vs shade) and fertilization.. The best  practice is to remove no more than one-third of the grass blade at any one mowing.This "one third rule" will help maintain steady root growth. Removing more adds stress to the grass and may minimize root growth  while the above ground  are recovering and growing back. For cooler season transitional zone grasses, consider mowing taller than recommended height (half an inch) for times of added stress - the heat of summer or during  long dry periods. Resume mowing at the regular height when the weather gets better.
