Landscaping can be a solid investment for you that increases your home's market value. A finished landscape adds beauty to a home by enhancing attractive features of the property while disguising problem areas. When designed and installed well, landscaping can increase a home's value by five to ten percent. At the same time, a poorly landscaped home can decrease its value by the same amount. Georgia Landscape Solutions, Inc. will use experience and proven techniques to increase your land value and beautify your landscape.Commercial

From the Britannica Encyclopedia:| "The process of arranging land, plants, and objects for human use and enjoyment, usually with long and close-up views. Cyclical growth and seasonal changes provide a continuous sense of time and natural rhythms that is absent in buildings and sculptures. Gardens and designed landscapes fill in the open areas in cities and create continuity between urban structures and open rural lands beyond. Landscape-gardening areas may be of any size, from small urban courtyards and suburban gardens to many thousands of acres in regional, state, or national parks. Every landscape garden reflects attitudes toward nature and humans, revealing much about a culture and a period." |
What is an Irrigation (Sprinkler) System?
Irrigation systems are permanently installed devices that water your lawn, plants, and garden in a consistent manner to improve the vitality of your landscape.Disadvantages of Manual Watering
- Effort. It requires time, patience, and work to move sprinklers around, turn them on and off, and adjust the spray pattern to the terrain each time.
- Too little water damages your plants and lawn by drying them out, turning them brown, and possible killing them.
- Too much water can damage your plants and lawn too. It places your lawn and plants under stress. Stress can lead to the death of your plants.
- Water that isn't absorbed by the plants is wasted. That will increase your water bill and isn't good for water conservation.
Advantages of Automated Irrigation Systems
- The watering is pre-scheduled and initiated by itself. You don't even have to be home.
- Water-fall consistence is the key to beautiful and healthy plants. An irrigation system installed by Georgia Landscape Solutions, Inc. will release water in a consistent manner to your plants and lawn.
- Water isn't wasted where it isn't needed. Less waste translates to lower water bills offsetting the cost of the system over time.
- Water conservation ordinances are easier to adhere to with automatically scheduled irrigation systems.
How do Irrigation Systems Work?
All irrigation systems have three main components: controllers, valves, and sprinklers.- Controller - The brain responsible for scheduling sends signals to the values telling them to open and close.
- Valves - These are responsible for a group of sprinklers. When the controller tells a value to open, water flows to that values sprinklers.
- Sprinklers - Be them Spray Heads ( Pop-up and pipe-mounted ) or Rotor Heads ( Single-streams, multi-streams, and impact ), sprinklers deliver the water to your landscape.
Irrigation Systems Summary
- Culture your landscape into a beautiful and vibrant environment.
- Conserve water.
- Save Time and Money.
Privacy Fences
The most difficult part of building a fence is setting the posts in the ground properly. Setting fence posts so that they're plumb and evenly spaced is part of the challenge. But surprisingly, even digging holes and filling them with concrete is fraught with difficulties.The problem begins with the shape our holes normally take. The top of the average hole that you dig is bound to be wider than the bottom, since you have easier access to the top portion. The result is a V-shaped hole. Novices anticipate no problem in setting fence posts in such holes, then filling the holes up with concrete. But when you fill those V-shaped holes with concrete, you end up with V-shaped hunks of concrete. And in areas subject to frost, this can be an invitation to trouble down the road.
The trouble begins when frost starts to heave your concrete upwards, using the tops of those V-shaped concrete footings to grip them (since the tops form a lip). Dirt then slips in beneath the concrete. Your fencing is raised as a result. The process is then repeated next winter, raising your fencing a bit further. And so on. Eventually, your concrete footings will be significantly elevated beyond where they should be, resulting in instability. Of course, such movement will never occur evenly along the whole course of your fencing, resulting in yet another problem: your fencing will no longer be level.
Georgia Landscape Solutions, Inc. will design and build your privacy fence for your needs and to withstand the changes of the seasons.
