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.
Ontario’s Winter Birds
Our cold winters in Ontario can be much more enjoyable if we care to watch some of the fascinating birds who thrive in our cold winters.
Please join me while we delve into some of these brave little creatures and their habits, likes and dislikes.
A Deck for the Ages
“Airik showed Cindy and I some photos of decks that his company had completed in the past and we were very impressed. We had come up with our own deck design, but throughout the building process we were able to make some adjustments to the original plans, which included the addition of a 10 by 14 foot Gazebo.
Beautiful, Custom Woodwork
Of course not all the houses are old. Some customers want a new appearance, as was the case with the owners of a traditional 1970s bungalow. That transformation was achieved by installing white oak siding which complemented the existing red entry door, Larry says.
Vibrant Fall Colours for Your Own Yard
When you think about autumn in Ontario, you almost definitely think about the stunning sights of fall leaves. Here in Wellington and Dufferin County, we are particularly lucky to have easy access to stunning escarpment vistas including Hockley Valley. As such, it’s understandable that you may be looking for new ways to add some breathtaking colour to your own yard.
Make Your Summer Oasis Glow
There’s a patio I frequent in the summer with a group of friends, in the middle there is a large tree, and when the sun sets, they flick a switch and light up the space with beautiful lights, dancing through the branches of the tree. It’s such a simple thing, but that little touch truly transforms the space into something, well, a little magical. The best part is, it’s a little thing that can be added to any space to really amplify it. There is no space that can’t be improved with the right lighting – the question just becomes what is the right lighting?
Keep It Hanging with Hanging Baskets!
Before you even start shopping you need to know where your baskets are going! Just like people, some plants thrive in the bright warm summer sun and others wilt. The good news is that it doesn’t matter if your patio is a sun paradise or a shady oasis, LitteTree can provide you with a basket mix that will be suited for either.
Guelph Building Supply
Guelph Build Supply: The company offers a plethora of products and is always looking for new and innovative materials to meet their customer’s needs. One such example of this would be Porcea Stone, North America’s leading manufacturer and wholesaler of outdoor porcelain pavers, that are designed in Italy.
Owning a Pool Has Never Been So Easy!
Once upon a time, people could beat the city heat by escaping to their summer cottages. With meteoric rises in real estate prices, purchasing a second property is way out of reach for most folks. That cottage might be your “secondary residence,” but it is still property that needs to be maintained and great chunks of vacation time are spent working on the place.
