Landscape and More: Everything You Need to Know

With the chilly fall breeze moving through the Kentuckiana region, staying warm and comfortable at home becomes top of mind. Prior to the arrival of freezing temperatures, checking your windows is a critical item for every homeowner's checklist. Your windows serve as the main barrier protecting your living space from harsh outdoor weather. Here are the top 5 things to check with your windows around your home.  1. “Curtain Flutter” aka drafts. If you feel a change in temperature as soon as you stand near the windows or see your curtains fluttering when the window is completely shut, your weather stripping or foundational seals need attention. 2. Inter-Pane condensation is when you see fog, moisture, or even actual water droplets trapped inside the panes of your windows. You can’t just “wipe” it away because it is inside of the pane. This drastically impacts the window’s insulating efficacy and needs to be addressed quickly. 3. Check the frames around the windows both inside and outside of your home. Chipping paints, water stains, mold growth, soft wood, or other signs of rot and decay indicate structural issues of your window frame. 4. Visible cracks and gaps where the window sash meets the out frame where you can see daylight peeking through or even tiny hairline fractures in the actual glass panels can lead to hidden water damage as well as drafts and other issues. 5. Your windows are a barrier to outside noise. If you can clearly hear conversations of people walking down the stress, distant traffic, and other common noises, there may be larger issues in the seals or windows themselves. If your windows are showing one or more of these red flags, whether you need one or multiple windows throughout your home, we can help !

Leaf clean up can seem like a constant struggle in the fall. Falling leaves can quickly accumulate, creating an unsightly and potentially hazardous layer on your lawn. There are also many issues that excess leaves can create for your lawn if you don’t clean up your leaves.  Here are some of the top reasons why you need to make leaf clean up a priority throughout the season - and definitely not leave them all winter: Prevent Lawn Damage: Leaves smother the grass, block sunlight, and trap moisture. This can lead to dead patches and disease. Avoid Pests : Piled-up leaves create a perfect hiding spot for pests like rodents and insects. Boost Curb Appeal : A clean yard enhances the overall look of your home - especially during the fall and winter. Prevent Safety Hazards : Wet leaves create slippery surfaces. If you’ve got leaves on your sidewalks and driveway that are wet, you’re risking potentially injuring yourself or guests of your home.

When dealing with a sloped landscape, finding the right balance between functional structural support and visual appeal is key. For a recent project in Mt. Washington, KY, our team was tasked with stabilizing an eroded, sloping area and creating a clean, finished look for the home’s exterior. Retaining wall construction requires the proper base first to ensure the integrity and longevity of the wall. We prepped the base area and levelled the proper drainage stone to carefully create this retaining wall. The finished wall creates a beautiful structure while providing the much needed support as well. Whether you want to build a wall extension, a landscape feature, or anything else requiring pavers or retaining walls, give us a call today to schedule your project at 502-499-7841 or simply request service here  today!

Having handled snow and ice management for Pearson’s Funeral Home in St. Matthews, KY for many years, we were thrilled when they recently reached out to us to renovate the main entrance sign area. A commercial property’s exterior sets the tone for every visitor who arrives. For Pearson's Funeral Home, creating a warm, peaceful, and welcoming environment is especially important. We removed all of the outdated and overgrown shrubs around the sign and prepped for the new installation while keeping the two mature shrubs on either side of the sign that created a nice frame for the space. We installed a variety of plants and shrubs including Nandinas, Bobo Hydrangeas, Daylillies, Salvias, Liriope, Coneflowers, and Daisies for a variety of heights, colors, and blooms. We installed Grade “A” Cedar mulch and the transformation was stunning. Even an employee came out before our crew left to share how beautiful he thought the landscaping was after installation. Your business’s entrance and street facing landscaping should make the right statement. WLS offers full service commercial property maintenance for businesses throughout the Louisville areas.

New lawn starter fertilizer is a specialized fertilizer that is higher in Phosphorous. Why is that important for your lawn? This fertilizer application provides a higher concentration of Phosphorous and balanced nutrients to your newly germinating grass plants' roots to help them develop more deeply, more quickly. It is quite literally food for your grass plants to maximize growth and establishment of the new turf. Can't I just use regular fertilizer? Not really. Often they are too high in nitrogen for new grass plants which are more delicate. A new lawn starter fertilizer is blended to specifically support new grass plants. We include the new lawn starter fertilizer application automatically with our fall power seeding and recommend it after broadcast seeding. The time for seeding your lawn in the Louisville area is limited - call or text us today to get on our schedule before we're fully booked for the season! Call or text (502) 499‑7841 or contact us today to reserve your spot and give your lawn the support it needs now!
