Get Your Lawn Ready for the Summer

Summer time in Toronto is already here, and that means more sunshine, more time outdoors and more lawn care. Our yards are like our outdoor living rooms — especially because we so rarely get to enjoy the outdoors without dealing with snow, ice, rain, and wind — and the lawns are like our living room carpets. The better you feel about your lawn, the better your barbeques, parties, and game days will be. One of the best things you can do to upgrade your family’s experience is get your lawn ready for summer as soon as possible.

There are many benefits to having sprinklers installed. A lawn that is not properly watered is bound to have many growth issues. This kind of landscaping care is important for when you are having guests over. No one wants to hang out in what looks and feels like a wild, bug infested jungle with sand pits sporadically located throughout the terrain. The goal is to have a lovely yard you actually want to sit in and enjoy, not a safari adventure.

Let’s think about children for a moment. We love to see children being able to kick those sandals off and run around freely through the grass without hurting their feet on rocks, gravel, and stiff crabgrass. Children love the feeling of being able to run barefoot in the summer time. If you own a pool, the barefoot experience will be great for not only children but for people of every age who plan on spending time outdoors this season.


Looking into irrigation systems no longer has to mean thinking about breaking your summer budget because of that hydro bill; when you go to EZ Lawn Sprinklers for advice, it actually means saving water consumption and making sure every drop goes a long way. One of the most vital water saving strategies for is to ensure that the thirstiest patched of your garden get soaked during the early morning hours. They require less water at this time because nothing evaporates from harsh sunlight and the roots actually have time to soak up nutrients.

But it’s pretty doubtful that you’re going to get up at dawn every other morning to take care of that garden, right? Having a timed system set up by the experts at EZ Lawn Sprinklers will not only mean that this is taken care of, but it also means that the amount of water used is controlled and measured beforehand. This means your bills are predictable, regular, and low every single month. Another way to save water is to make sure you have updated sprinkler heads. Technology is always improving and moving towards efficiency, so make the most of it!

Other things to keep in mind throughout the summer months:
  • Take a few minutes once a month to adjust the timer. The timing of the sunrise and sunset gradually change throughout the year.
  • Once a year, you should regularly tune-up your sprinkler system. When outdoor temperatures dip below zero, you need to make sure the pipes are empty of water so they don’t freeze, and this is a great time to check for other repairs as well. With a good company, all this should be automatically taken care of.

6. 4 Common Mistakes People Make when Renovating their Bathroom

Your kitchen may be the official heart of the home, the central nerve center where the family meets over meals and performs tasks from paying bills to playing games, but your bathrooms are the rooms where you come again and again. Your bathroom is where you come to take relaxing baths, spend hours when ill and stare at that same ugly tile for half an hour as you get ready in the morning. That’s why bathroom renovations rival kitchen renovations on home makeover lists. Here are four common mistakes people make when renovating their bathroom. Spending Too Much How much is too much when you are renovating a bathroom? A good rule of thumb is not to spend more than five to ten percent of the home’s value on renovating a bathroom, since you can’t recoup more than a fraction of the investment when the house is sold later. The only exception is when you are adding a new bathroom to the house to bring it up to the neighborhood average. For example, if you have a three bedroom single bathroom ol...

Mini Storage Can Help Your De-Clutter Your Home

Your home has the ability to feel like an oasis in the middle of the city – your personal refuge from the traffic and congestion that always manages to clog up Thornhill. Unfortunately, for far too many people, this isn’t the case, as they come home to a cluttered and disorganized space. It isn’t that their homes are dirty. They’ve just accumulated a lot of junk, and too much of it can hinder their ability to let loose and relax after a long, hard day. Believe it or not, it’s true. Clutter has been found to affect the brain negatively. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute found that the average person finds it difficult to concentrate in a chaotic environment. It also diminishes your ability to process information as the visual stimuli of clutter distract your brain. When exposed to clutter for longer periods of time, your brain can suffer from fatigue and result in negative mental experiences. If you’ve been feeling anxious or frus...

Look for Damages Caused by the Winter The winter season can be brutal on your home, so the spring is the perfect opportunity to see if there has been any damage left behind from the wind, snow, ice, and freezing temperatures your house had to endure. A good place to start is by looking at the roof, which you can do surprisingly easily using binoculars rather than climbing up to it. You should keep an eye out for missing, curled, or loose shingles, damaged or bent flashing surrounding your chimney or any points where the house makes contact with the roof. Als...
