Tips for Cleaning Your Vinyl Fence

            Vinyl fences are long lasting and low maintenance. However, they do need a good cleaning every once in a while to prevent the overgrowth of mold, mildew, moss, grime, and stains. Maintaining a clean fence is not only appealing to the eye, but also to your wallet. The better care you take of your fence, the less likely you'll have to replace it anytime soon. It's a win-win situation!

            Start by removing any organic debris from the fence, including grass, leaves, and sticks. These items can leave stains on the white vinyl. In addition, make sure to keep bushes and shrubs that border the fence trimmed. This can cause stains too.

Best Fence Jax

            Simply hose off the fence, starting at the top and working your way down using strong water pressure. You can use a bleach cleaning solution in a spray bottle, or make a 50/50 solution of regular bleach and water. Spray on your special solution and use some good old elbow grease.

          If your vinyl fence is another color than white, it is a good idea to test the bleach out first to make sure no discoloration will occur. Then, just rinse the fence when the stains are removed.

Wet & Forget

            If you have mold or algae growing on the base of your fence, you might need to apply a mold treatment. A product called Wet & Forget is EPA registered, non-caustic, non-acidic, and contains no bleach. Add some to water and apply to the fence. This solution is safe around the garden and plants, requires no scrubbing, and is a proactive product made to keep your fence or any outdoor surface looking brand new.

Christmas Light Safety

Xmas Lights

            Covering your house in colorful lights for the holidays can be fun, exciting, and even beautiful. However, you should take caution when dealing with a large quantity of lights; there is a lot of electricity involved. A few things should be on your safety checklist.

      Before you go hanging lights on your house or yard, be sure to check for any cracks or frays in the wires. Make sure there are no loose connections or damage.

            Be especially careful with the lights you hang on the Christmas tree. If the tree is not artificial, be sure to water it sufficiently so it does not dry out. In addition, turn off the tree lights when leaving the house and going to bed. Believe it or not, the U.S fire department estimates about 230 household fires are caused by Christmas trees annually. As a result, there is an average of six deaths and 22 injuries annually.

            Ensure that your strands of lights have fused plugs that prevent sparks if they short out. If bulbs have burned out, replace them with the correct power rated bulbs.

            Try to keep an eye on the sockets that you are using. Keep water and debris clear from the sockets. It is also a good idea to have a ground fault circuit interrupter outlet for additional safety. Do not plug too many lights into one outlet. Limiting the amount of extension cords can reduce the risk of fire too. Check that the extension cords are not running too hot to the touch. In addition, the connections between two extensions should be clear of water and debris. It is best to elevate these jointing points.

Pic

            Do not use nails or screws to hang the lights because they can pierce the wire. It is important to note that there are lights that are specifically rated for outdoor use. You would not want to use indoor rated lights outside because they will crack and weaken in cold weather and the exposed elements.

            Lastly, don’t overdo it. I know you all want to one-up Clark Griswold, but an excessive amount of lights only increases the risk for fire. Be sure to turn off all lights when leaving your home. Have a fun, safe and happy holiday!

Preparing Your Garden and Lawn for Winter

            Cold weather is approaching, is your lawn and garden prepared? To avoid destroying all of your hard work from the previous warmer months, it's recommended to begin prepping for the seasonal freezes a few weeks in advance.

            Start with fertilizer. It is ideal to use slow-release fertilizers on your lawn to provide the right nutrients. Grass and plants can store the excess energy for the colder months.

            To prevent the growth of weeds, a pre-emergent herbicide should do the trick. A pre-emergent herbicide will prevent the germination and growth of weed seeds. They do not affect any established plant life, so you do not have to worry about those areas around your existing plants.

            For the existing weeds, you can use a post-emergent herbicide. There are two types: selective and non-selective. Selective herbicides only affect specific types of weeds. On the other hand, non-selective herbicides will kill all living plants, even your grass. Be sure to read the labels carefully.

            Do some research on plants that do well in cold weather. There are many options to choose from. Some are even quite colorful. If you have a green thumb, there are many cold season vegetables such as broccoli, lettuce and other greens. A good tip is to loosen the soil around your garden or yard to allow for easier absorption of water, preventing the water from pooling.

            For smaller potted plants, it's a good idea to bring them indoors on cold nights, especially your warm weather plants. If you think some of your plants are not mature enough to make it through the winter, try digging them up, putting them in a pot, and moving them indoors. Even a garage can provide more warmth if you don’t want to turn your home into a jungle.

Backyard Landscaping Project Ideas

Water Feature

A water feature can become the focal point of any backyard, such as a natural-looking waterfall or stream. The calming sound of running water will make the yard a place of relaxation.

Try adding tiers or different levels to a flat backyard for more dimension. Terraces will do the trick. Create walls for plants or build a set of steps to run through, then decorate with natural vegetation or boulders for an extra pop of beauty and style.

Structural Landscaping

For a cheaper, yet still effective option, lay a pathway with pavers or stepping-stones. This can create a welcoming feeling for those who walk along it. You can even add some solar powered lanterns for visibility at night.

Pavers or Stepping-Stones

Why not make a deck the focal point of your yard. A deck acts as an extension of the home, opening up more space for lounging. Place a dining table under an umbrella or awning for a peaceful outdoor retreat or dining area. You can build a deck as big or small as desired and decorated to meet your personal taste.

Decking

No backyard would be complete without a fire pit. Fire pits create a perfect focal point pleasing to the eye and acts as a source of warmth on those chilly nights. It can bring family and friends together.

Fire Pits

Try hanging a hammock. These swinging beds will help you relax any time of the day. They are a symbol of leisure and simple, easy living.

Whatever it is you decide to do to liven up your backyard, be sure to put your own style into it. Your yard is more than an outdoor space; it is part of your home.

Upgrade Your Backyard Without Breaking the Bank

If you are interested in upgrading your backyard in a cost-effective way, we've got some tips to help you transform your dream yard into a reality, without breaking the bank!

Creating designated spaces should be the first plan of action. Set aside space for a cooking area, play area, dining area, or lounge area. Dividing the yard up this way can be aesthetically pleasing. A storage shed is also a good option to keep toys and tools out of sight when not in use.

Adding a path using crushed rock or pavers can give a finished look to a disorderly yard. Keep the path clear and border it with plants, bushes, and shrubs for a beautiful green touch.

           If gardening isn't your thing, try adding a solid concrete patio. Too plain? Try throwing on a masonry stain to the surface of the concrete. Have fun with it by choosing a non-traditional pattern, or for a more elegant look, lay slate tile on top of the concrete slab.

          Add a trellis to your yard. A trellis can add an architectural focal point. Use one for the entrance to a designated area of the yard. And for a more rustic look, add a climbing plant or vine.

         Is your yard to flat? Give it some depth and dimension by adding a pergola for shade and height. You can even add large boulders to give the yard a more natural feel. Arrange the boulders separately or in clusters and viola! Instantly beautiful yard!

        So, as you can see, there are many options for creating a yard you can enjoy without emptying your wallet. With a little imagination and some spare time, you can transform your yard into a relaxing oasis you'll love for years to come.

Key Reasons to Have a Fence Installed

1. Privacy

You may consider a tall privacy fence if your neighbor’s house is too close for comfort, or maybe your house has lots of windows. In fact, privacy is the one of the most common reasons to install a fence.

2. Animal Control

A fence can help keep children and your pets from getting out, while also help keep other animals from getting in. Trust me you do not want armadillos getting into your yard or garden. They will tear the ground up by making multiple burrow holes.

3. Add Style

Bordering your property with a fence can create an elegant touch and curb appeal . A white ornamental vinyl can complement a traditional style home while an ornamental aluminum can complement a more rustic and refined style.

4. Build Value

A durable and well-built fence can add value to your property. A fence is a lasting investment when done right by a professional company, such as Best Fence. If the fence is installed properly with quality materials, it is likely to last a lifetime. In addition, you may incorporate the costs into your asking price when selling the property.

For those lucky enough to play this course, you will find a brilliantly designed golf course. One of the tougher courses in Florida, this course is perfect for the seasoned golfer.

3. The Blue Monster at Doral Golf Resort:

Preventing Damage to Your Fence

            Your fence may go through normal wear and tear over time, but there are some immediate damages to your fence that you may be able to prevent. Because it's always important to be on the precautionary side, we have provided a list of tips and advice to ensure your fence is well prepared for a variety of natural damages. 

Storm Damage:

            It's hurricane season in Florida so you need to make sure you’re doing everything you can to protect your fence from the damages of a severe storm. Here are some tips you can try to help prevent damage to your fence during bad weather.

1. Cut down any trees that hang over the fence and/or trees around the fence.

2. Move any objects near or around your fence that may cause damage if the winds are strong enough.

3. Reinforce your fence to ensure a stable structure during hurricane season.

Vegetation Damage:

            Another type of damage to your fence that can be prevented is vegetation damage. I’m not talking as much about gardens, but other greenery and plants such as Ivy. Ivy can spread fast so it is important to remove the Ivy as soon as you notice it starting to grow. If your fence becomes damaged, for whatever reason, Ivy may cause further destruction by growing into the damaged part of your fence. If the ivy continues to grow all over the fence it may also prevent you from being able to maintain your fence to protect it from long term damages.

Backyard Projects: DIY Garden Pots

From pots, garden boxes, seeds, fertilizer, and more...gardens can be expensive and confusing! Have you ever planted something then realized you didn’t label it or you have no idea what it is after it has sprouted? Well not anymore, here are 3 DIY Ideas that will help make your garden flourish with beauty and functionality! The best part is that they are inexpensive.

Project Number 1:  Chalkboard Painted Pot

Materials: Clay Pot, Chalkboard Paint, Stencils, Pencil, Painters Tape, and Chalk. 

First make sure your clay pot is clean of any dirt, dust, soil, water, etc. then you are going to trace the stencil of your choice onto the pot with a pencil. The next step is to place painters tape on the outline of your trace to ensure you get perfect paint lines. After that is complete, paint away and label the pot as desired!

You will never lose track of your vegetables, herbs, or flowers again!
Project Number 2: Space Saver Veggies

This project is a great way to save space and to keep pesky critters out of your flowers or vegetables.

Materials: a shoe organizer that hangs and a hanger of your choice.

Simply take the shoe organizer you found at a bargain store, under your bed or a new one you bought and fill each opening where a shoe is supposed to go with soil and other wanted nutrients. Then simply plant the seed or plant and hang on the fence or a hanger stand of your choice. With this simple garden trick you never have to worry about your garden getting mowed over, dug up, or smashed by kids, lawn men, or even spouses! 

Project Number 3: Upside Down Tomato Plant Hanger

This project can be a little tricky but it’s green, inexpensive, and your tomatoes will forever thank you!

Materials: Small Tomato Plant, Empty 2 liter plastic bottle, Duct Tape, Single Hole Punch, String, Soil, and Sharp Knife or Scissors.

An Upside Down Tomato Plant Hanger is easy, once the 2 liter bottle is empty. The first step is to cut the bottom off of the empty 2 liter. A good place to cut the bottle is right above where the 5 little nubs are at the bottom. Then you are going to tape the edges of the bottle you just cut so it is not sharp. After that, go ahead and punch holes through the tape and bottle with the single hole puncher.
