It's summer, and one of the best parts about the season is getting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather and wide open spaces. What are some of the ways you can make the most of your residential landscaping? Here are some ideas:
Keep your lawn healthy and beautiful.
Your lawn is the perfect place to let your children play, host barbeques, and relax with a cool drink on a starry night. A well-maintained lawn not only looks good, but also keeps you from stubbing a toe on a rough, weedy root hidden in overgrown grass. Similarly, forgetting to water your lawn can turn your vegetable garden into a rock and gravel garden. Lawn maintenance is crucial. Mow and weed your lawn regularly and make sure it gets plenty of water. You may even consider installing an irrigation system.
The outdoors is a place of infinite possibilities, and so is your yard.
Your outdoor space should be a reflection of your personality. Have children? Maybe your outdoor space is their park and playground. Food lover? Your grill can be your kitchen, dining room, and with a well plotted and tended garden, your pantry. A landscape design expert can bring all of your landscape ideas to life.
Your outdoor space should offer good times, good stories, and relaxing verdant views. If all you're getting from your yard is a sore back and a sweat-drenched shirt, then don't worry. Not everyone is born with a green thumb or has the time to transform their corner of Texas into a Garden of Eden.
If you need a hand revitalizing your outdoor space, then contact GreenTex Landscaping. Whether you're too busy to do the mowing or want a professional to make your outdoor vision a reality, GreenTex Landscaping has your residential landscaping needs covered. Call us at (972) 542-1663 to find out more.

Proper maintenance of your residential or commercial landscaping is important to growing a healthy, attractive lawn. One of the biggest challenges is keeping your lawn free of weeds, but many lawn maintenance techniques may actually be ineffective or even harmful to your lawn. Here are five ways to keep your lawn weed-free this summer.
1. Specialized Weed Killers
There are many varieties of weed killers available on the market today. Be sure to carefully research your weed killers, as many only work on certain weeds or can actually kill your lawn.
2. Weeding by Hand
For homeowners who would rather avoid using chemicals to kill weeds, weeding by hand is a good option. However there are some disadvantages: Weeding by hand can take a long time, and certain weeds are perennials, meaning that they have long tap roots to support growth year after year. These weeds can be difficult to remove by hand, and may grow back quickly.
3. Organic Herbicides
There are many weed treatments that are composed of organic, non-toxic chemicals including acetic acid, the acid found in vinegar. These organic herbicide solutions can kill weeds without using harmful synthetic chemicals, and are gentler on your landscaping.
4. Boiling Water
For large scale weed elimination, boiling water is a great way to quickly kill weeds in your landscaping. However, boiling water will also kill surrounding plants, and organisms that help keep your lawn healthy, such as worms. Boiling water is most effective on walkways, hardscaping, patios, or other surfaces where no plant growth is desired.
5. Hire a Lawn Maintenance Service
The most convenient and effective solution is to hire a lawn maintenance to keep your lawn in great shape all year long. The knowledgeable lawn maintenance professionals at GreenTex have the experience and training to keep your lawn and landscaping looking great, removing weeds without harming your grass or plants. Call (972) 542-1663 to learn more about our professional lawn maintenance services today.
