Your Quick Guide to Spring Pool Maintenance
Regardless of whether you want to be a hands-on or hands-off pool owner, D&D Pools is here to support you throughout the swimming season. Their store is fully stocked with any product that you might need to maintain your pool.
Beyond the Feeder
By providing natural forage and a fresh water source you can transform your backyard into a local hotspot, for hungry travellers of the avian variety! Let’s dig into the ways you can roll out the red carpet using Mother Nature’s own toolkit!
Get to Know Ridgeway Metal Forming Inc
Ridgeway Metal Forming is a family owned business located in Chesley, Ontario, considered by many to be one of the most charming communities in the Bruce County. Mervin Kuepfer is Operations Manager for Ridgeway Metal and of course not being familiar with metal forming, I went directly to the source to have him explain the process.
Chickadees & Chill
Fall is an exciting time to be a birder, especially in Southern Ontario! Millions of our feathered friends will migrate south in search of warmer climates. This is a great chance to view many rare species on their migration south, as well as encourage the resilient, year-round residents to call your backyard home, this coming winter season!
Don’t Dread Opening Your Pool This Spring
Once you’ve completed all of this, there is nothing else to do but make sure that you stay on top of the chlorination process all season, and enjoy your pool! To help with that enjoyment, you can book D&D Pools in to make regular visits for summer maintenance, allowing you to really relax—and don’t miss their big Spring Sale on the first Saturday of May.
Maximizing Your Yard’s Summer Potential
Canadian summers are the time for enjoying sun-soaked days and balmy nights. It’s a time for water fights, backyard cookouts, and crackling fires surrounded by friends and family. Since this time is already so precious to us, we don’t want to squander it by not preparing properly.
Birds of a Feather
As May comes to a close, migratory birds have already begun searching for a summer home. This is very similar to the search for the perfect cottage getaway. The birds are seeking out access to water, reliable food sources, and the perfect nest location. Of these migratory birds, the most colourful and intriguing ones are the Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles.
Build & Maintain Your Summer Oasis
Your perfect summer oasis probably looks something like this: bright sun, clear blue waters, maybe some warm sand to curl your toes into, and, of course, plenty of food, drink and good company to go around. If you’re anything like me, you’ve likely resigned yourself to the fact that without a plane (or a long drive), this oasis will never be anything more than a pleasant dream.
Bringing in the Coach
There are more reasons than ever why people are choosing to invest in their outdoor space. Not only does landscaping add beauty and curb appeal to your home, it can also be a fun entertainment space, create habitat for local wildlife, and be a great investment.
Taking Your Outdoor Experience to the Next Level
The enjoyment of cooking outside and experimenting with foods is becoming more common; with this in mind, we wanted to bring in different products, so we are currently dealing with a company in Spain to perhaps sell their specialty woods for ‘smoking’.”
Keeping it Natural – Building a Personal Swimming Hole
Far from appearing scummy or stagnant, this pond was filled with clear natural water – and required none of the work that a pool did to keep it fresh.
Islandview Farm Equipment
We decided to find a tractor to compliment our line of equipment. After many comparisons of the tractors available on the market today, we found MAHINDRA tractors.
The Complex Ecosystem of Ponds
A pond is fairly easy to maintain if it’s given a little TLC when required. It’s much easier, in fact, than a pool or garden.
April Showers and Spring Flowers
With your gardens, it’s always essential that you exercise caution and not start too soon. April can be a wet, and sometimes cold month, and the threat of frost, combined with wet soil, can both have adverse effects on your garden. Wait until at least mid April, and then keep in mind that frosts can still appear out of nowhere!
