Lawn care maintenance by the seasons is a year long, continuous affair. To keep your lawn healthy and looking its best all through the year requires a considerable effort. Lawn care maintenance differs from season to season so here are some tips to get you started:
Lawn Care Maintenance in Summer
1 Proper watering is important in this season so that the soil does not dry out.
2 In summer the grass grows faster, so you'll need to mow it more often. However ensure that you don't cut off more than 1/3rd portion of the grass blades.
3 Just like the grass, weeds also thrive in warmer climates. Make sure to do some timely weeding in this season so that weed growth does not go out of hand.
4 During summer insects and pests are very active. Check the lawn soil for grubs, larvae of beetles and other insects that cause bare or dry patches. Go for pest control if you find an infestation. Re-seed the bare patches if needed.
Lawn Care Maintenance in the Fall
1 Falling leaves must be cleared more often during fall. This allows the grass to breathe and utilise the sunlight in preparation for the coming winter.
2 Clear any dead grass and other debris from the lawn in this season.
3 It is important to fertilise your lawn during the fall so that it gets the nourishment required for the dormant wintertime.
Lawn Care Maintenance in Winter
1 Leave the grass level as short as possible in preparation for the winter. This will prevent the blades from bending under the weight of the snow.
2 Just before the onset of winter is a good time to prune the shrubs and trees to encourage new growth and flowering as spring approaches.
3 It is a good idea to clear the lawn and yard of all outdoor furniture, pots, planters, logs, etc. This prevents the formation of dead patches as the snow vanishes.
4 Try to keep the side-walks and other spaces free of snow as much as possible.
Lawn Care Maintenance in Spring
1 Clean up the lawn of debris like leaves, twigs and other dead material that has collected over the winter.
2 Early spring is the time to fertilise the lawn which helps in its growth.
3 To get ready for mowing, begin by tuning up your lawn mower. Now is the time for a routine maintenance check.
4 Check for weed growth and de-weed your lawn so that it not only looks neat, but also ensures healthy growth.
You can follow these lawn care maintenance tips and do it all yourself or you could hire a professional lawn maintenance service like Fox Mowing to keep up the schedules. Fox Mowing( http://foxmowing.com.au/) takes up lawn and Garden Maintenance Professionals contracts along with other jobs like weeding and pest control, fertilising, mulching, debris removal, pruning, hedge maintenance, etc.

By designing a state of the art outdoor kitchen, the client is invited and encouraged into the outdoors. This shift to focus on the outdoors not only improves the health and well being of the clients, but also reduces the heating and cooling loads inside as the heat generated from cooking get reduced when cooking is moved outside.
With the client’s name custom tiled on the wood burning pizza oven, this food preparation area is transformed into a special and unique place for the family to gather, entertain, and prepare meals.

These South Shore homeowners desired a fresh look for their kitchen that was efficient and functional with a design worthy of showing off to family and friends. They also wished for more natural light, increased floor area and better countertop work space allowing for ease of preparation and cooking. The Renovisions team began the remodel by installing a larger (5’) window over the sink area which overlooks the beautiful backyard. Additional countertop workspace was achieved by utilizing the corner and installing a GE induction cooktop and stainless steel hood. This solution was spot on spectacular!
Renovisions discussed the importance of adding lighting fixtures and the homeowners agreed. Under cabinet lighting was installed under wall cabinets with switch as well as two pendants over the peninsula and one pendant over the sink. It also made good design sense to add additional recessed ceiling fixtures with LED lights and trims that blend well with the ceiling.
The project came together beautifully and boasts gorgeous shaker styled cherry cabinetry with glass mullian doors. The separate desk area serves as a much needed office/organizational area for keys, mail and electronic charging.
A lovely backsplash of Tuscan-clay-look porcelain tile in 4”x8” brick pattern and diagonal tile with decorative metal-look accent tiles serves an eye-catching design detail. We created interest without being overdone.
A large rectangular under-mounted ‘chef’ sink in stainless steel finish was the way to go here to accommodate larger pots and pans and platters. The creamy color marble like durable yet beautiful quartz countertops created a soft tone for the kitchens overall aesthetic look. Simple, pretty details give the cherry cabinets understated elegance and the mix of textures makes the room feel welcoming.
Our client can’t wait to start preparing her favorite recipes for her family.

Designed by Charlotte Knott of Creative Karpet & Kitchen Designs, Inc. in Leonardtown, MD. This kitchen features cabinets by Aristokraft Cabinetry in Briarcliff Arch Maple, with Autumn finish. The customer needed a very functioning kitchen as many family members come together often and share in the meal preparations. The island handles that function very well as all can gather around to help in the preparation. The grandchildren even have a place to sit and help as well. Functional features include roll-out trays, pots & pans drawers, tray divider, & trash bin. The customer describes her kitchen as being her “AWE Moment”.

Today, almost any activity you enjoy inside your home you can bring to the outside. Depending on your budget, your outdoor room can be simple, with a stamped concrete patio, a grill and a table for dining, or more elaborate with a fully functional outdoor kitchen complete with concrete countertops for preparing and serving food, a sink and a refrigerator. You can take the concept even further by adding such amenities as a concrete pizza oven, a fireplace or fire-pit, a concrete bar-top for serving cocktails, an architectural concrete fountain, landscape lighting and concrete statuary.
Cooking
Something to cook with, such as a barbecue grill or wood-fired pizza oven, and countertops for food preparation and serving are key elements in a well-designed outdoor kitchen. Concrete countertops offer the advantages of weather resistance and versatility, since they can be formed into any shape you desire to suit the space. A coat of sealer will simplify cleanup by protecting your countertop from stains. Other amenities, such as concrete bar-tops and outdoor sinks with plumbing, can expand your entertainment options.
Hearth
Wood-burning or gas fireplaces, fire pits, chimineas and portable patio heaters extend the enjoyment of outdoor living well into the evening while creating a cozy conversation area for people to gather around.

We worked alongside ACG Architects and accessible kitchen design specialist, Adam Thomas to create this stunning wheelchair-accessible kitchen so our client could prepare, cook and serve meals for her family independently.
We designed this kitchen to have three different heights to enable our client and family to prepare and cook food easily. For example, the accessible worktop with a custom-made sink was made to be 870mm - the perfect height for a wheelchair user.
Other key features in this design include wheelchair level ovens with tray slides that sit directly under two Neff Slide & Glide ovens, a Neff Steamer and a Microwave, so hot oven trays can be moved easily across each tray slide.
A pull-out shelf allows for food/trays to be moved easily to the worktop level that was designed to be lower than standard for wheel-chair use. In front of the hob, there is also a protective lip at the edge of the worktop to stop a pan from boiling over onto the floor, or onto the client's lap.
A stone sink was also custom made by Cosentino, so it wasn’t too deep for our client to reach into.
The architects included wood slatting across the entire ground floor that creating a stunning feature in the kitchen space. Each slat was designed to run with precision over the door units - there were also toasters and pull-out drawers hidden behind this area which were designed to be isolated from the power when the doors were closed.
Mixing different materials and textures in a kitchen space created interest and contrast. The striking mix of the stained wood slatting, Graphite Grey cabinetry and durable Dekton Keon worktops in this collaborative kitchen design creates a real wow factor.
This kitchen design works for each family member with varying needs and heights so that it is a space that allows for the whole family to enjoy and create memories together.

We began our design in this OKC kitchen by re-orientating the layout of the kitchen and all work zones. The homeowners wanted a larger island with space to prepare meals while capturing the impressive lake views to the rear of the home. We replaced the closed in Highbar with an open and expansive island showcasing a lowered eating area, perfect for breakfast and entertaining while meals are prepared. Our mitered door custom cabinets are presented with a sophisticated and up and coming color palette for those that are leaning away from basic white cabinets. To bring more warmth into the space, we stained the rift sawn oak in medium brown and finished with a soft glaze. We then contrast this with matte black interiors in the glass cabinets. The matte black is repeated on the venthood which has been accented with high gloss striping. The large pull-outs flanking the fridge provide plenty of storage, while the integrated backsplash shelf provides architectural interest with additional space for bottles and spices near the induction cooktop. The brushed gold hardware provides the perfect jewelry for the kitchen – now warm, inviting, and irresistible!

This unique kitchen has it ALL! From toekick lighting to TWO sinks, this space is equipped to handle anything. The bar area features a built in wine fridge and eye catching backsplash tile. The built-in refrigerator is fully custom, suitable for any large family or gathering. The DUAL islands create the perfect environment for socializing - one for meal preparation and one for seating.. Preparing a meal has never been easier with the custom quartz splash and shelving around the stove. This kitchen really has it all!

Parisian kitchens in apartments are known for their compact size due to the narrow buildings and staircases in the city. However, they are still fully functional and equipped with all the essential appliances needed for cooking, such as a stove, a sink, a refrigerator, and some cabinets for storage. To make the most of the limited space, Parisians often invest in high-quality cookware and utensils that will last a lifetime, prioritizing quality over quantity.
Parisians value fresh ingredients and make use of local markets and specialty shops to purchase them. The kitchen is an essential part of Parisian culinary culture, serving not just as a place to prepare meals but also as a social hub for family and friends. Despite the small size of many Parisian kitchens, they are an important part of daily life in the city and reflect the city's love of good food and quality ingredients.
Parisians often decorate their kitchens with colorful tiles, vintage accessories, and fresh flowers to make them visually appealing. Many Parisians prefer to cook and eat at home, rather than dining out at restaurants. Parisian kitchens are cozy and charming places to prepare meals and entertain guests, reflecting the city's rich culinary culture.

Step into this remarkable kitchen and be prepared to be amazed by the meticulous attention to detail that reflects the client's unique character and style. A standout feature of this project is the captivating blue cabinets, infusing the space with personality and a touch of playfulness. The vibrant hue creates a focal point that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression.
As you explore further, you'll discover the spacious and open island, serving as the heart of this kitchen. Its generous size offers an expansive workspace for cooking and food preparation, while also providing a central gathering spot for loved ones. Picture lively conversations flowing effortlessly around the island, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere for all.
The seamless integration of functionality and style is a defining characteristic of this kitchen. Thoughtfully selected materials and finishes exude elegance, while the well-planned layout ensures maximum efficiency in daily tasks. From the sleek countertops to the high-end appliances, every element has been carefully curated to enhance both aesthetics and practicality.

We incorporated the original seating area into the kitchen design. Three stools fit under the new island for casual seating that is close to the prep and living areas. The clients cut directly on the walnut butcher block when they are preparing meals. The large expanse allows for both the husband and wife to prepare meals together.

Solution:
Consistency of countertops creates more preparation space.
The relocation of wall ovens to left wall and moving the refrigerator farther to the right gives more preparation area and makes the space feel larger.
Under countertop microwave.
Nine foot high cabinetry does provide more storage and the upper illuminated cabinets creates a showcase for owner’s memento of growing up in England.

Stainless steel appliances compliment the white cabinetry while bringing the appearance and modern convenience to this kitchen design.
