FLAGSTONE PATIO

FLAGSTONE PATIO 

Patio's are the most versatile and useable forms of a landscape.  They are completely maintenance free and can be designed in a 100 different ways.  Fort Worth Texas is one place where patio's rule.  Hot Texas summers make outdoor work miserable.  So what better way to get rid of grass, dirt patches, water spots, or places where things just will just not grow - PUT A SLAB OF CONCRETE ON TOP OF IT!!.  

Once you have designed the shape and size of your patio, you then have to decide what you want your patio to look like.  You can leave it as just concrete, you can stain it, stamp it, or even use colored concrete.  By far the most popular choice is to overlay it with flagstone.

Flagstone comes in a variety of colors.  The price of the flagstone largely depends on how common it is and what query it is coming from.  Some flagstone colors are not as common and may come from a query many states away.  When this happens, the cost of gas to truck it in, along with the availability, plays a huge role in the price.  In Fort Worth Texas Oklahoma Flagstone is generally your most commonly used and price friendly.

When choosing a landscape company to put in your flagstone patio, there is a couple of things you must do first.  ALWAYS get references.  If a landscape company refuses to give you references - STAY AWAY!!  Make sure they carry General Liability Insurance.  This insurance protects you if one of their workers gets injured on your property.  Flagstone Patio's generally run anywhere from 2,500.00 and up!  Be careful who you give your money to.  

Make sure the company guarantees there work!  Signs of poor workmanship on a flagstone patio generally does not show up for a couple of months.  The Flagstone starts cracking, the mortar crumbles and you have loose flagstones.  If this happens you want to make sure your company comes back and fixes the problem!!

Please check out www.groundscape.com.  If you click on photo gallery you will see a variety of patio styles and different types of flagstones!!  Above is a video of Groundscape's crew in Flower Mound TX overlaying a patio with Oklahoma Brown flagstone.  CHECK IT OUT!!!

LANDSCAPING CIRCULAR DRIVES

Circular Drives are very popular but many homeowner do not know what to do with the inside circle.  GroundScape designed a beautiful landscape that is also functional.  What was once just a circle drive with dirt in the middle becomes the center piece for your front yard landscape.  

If you have trees in the center of your circular drive, the landscape and border around the trees insures that no one will drive over the large root system of the tree.  Countless trees are killed every year do to compacted soil over the root systems of trees.  

So if you have a circular drive and would like some ideas on how to transform it just give Groundscape a call.  www.groundscape.com.  Serving the Greater Fort Worth Arlington Keller area.

GroundScape Performs a Sprinkler Audit

 

Check out the above video!!!  With the extreme heat and drought that Fort Worth is enduring it is more important than ever to make sure your sprinklers are watering properly.  Most dry patches in lawns is due to faulty or incorrect sprinkler heads.

Native Texas Plants; Xeriscape

Landscape Design in Fort Worth Tx can be tricky due to cold winters and very hot summers.  Right now North Texas (including Arlignton, Mansfield, Keller, Aledo Trophy Club Southlake,  are suffering from drought.  As a result water restrictions are crippling landscape.  This is why when doing landscape design it is so important to plant native.  This is called xeriscape.

The goal of a xeriscape is to create a visually attractive landscape design that uses plants selected for their water efficiency as well as stone and flowers. A xeriscape can easily use less than one-half the water of a traditional landscape. Xeriscaping will also reduce maintenance costs and increase the beauty and value of your property. With xeriscape you might choose to create a distinctly western landscape with rock formations or stone work.  You could create a mountain meadow, complete with an ever-changing medley of wildflowers.

Nevada found a 33 percent reduction in average monthly water use and a 39 percent reduction in average summer monthly water use resulting from the Xeriscapes (Sovocool and Rosales, 2001). This study also found that conversion to Xeriscape reduced annual maintenance costs by one third on top of the water savings

Examples of Xeriscape plants for North Texas are Mountain Sage, Desert Willow, Skull Cap, Rock Rose, 4-Nerve Daisy, Agave, Butterfly Weed, Cross Vine, Salvia, Turks Cap, Blackfoot Daisy, Black Eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower and many more.  All of these plants provide nice color that will come back year after year regardless of weather.  Please keep in mind that when first planted they will need to be watered deeply and frequently so they will establish a nice root system.  Once they are established they can endure through extreme weather conditions.

GroundScape just completed a xeriscape project for the City of Arllington Water Department.  This project was requested by the City of Arlington to show their residents how they can have a beautiful landscape with color without using large amounts of water.  Water Conservation is a high priority for Arlington, Tx.

Native Plantings are not the only thing that sets off a xeriscape.  Beautiful rock and stone work also set the landscape off.  Many clients incorporate boulders with green moss or path ways with flagstone.  You can also create berms that provide depth and height to a traditionally flat landscape. Colorful eye catching pots can also provide curb appeal.  That can be placed upright or on there side.  The possibilities are endless.

We encourage you to visit and look at the various drought tolerant native texas plants.  Each plant is labeled and is available locally. If you need help incorporating these native texas plants just check out Groundscape on the web and give us a call.
