For many years I was a little disappointed in the shape of our living room. It was rectangular, no fireplace, and had no foyer entrance. For years I would look at the four corners of our room, trying to imagine where I could have a fireplace installed that could serve multiple purposes. The only thing we do in this room is watch television. I decided to add the fireplace not exactly in the center of our room, but enough space that it would #1. Create a false wall for a foyer area, #2. Have a beautiful fireplace, #3. We could mount our television for theatrical viewing. I allowed four feet around the back and sides of the fireplace to allow you to walk all the way around the fireplace. We also added a beautiful white bookshelf to the backside of the fireplace, so we you enter the foyer area you don't actually see the fireplace, but a foyer area with displayed family photos on the bookshelf. We added wheels to the bookshelf to allow you to roll the bookshelf out incase later we have to

I was working in my yard a couple of days ago and noticed that one of my Crape Myrtle trees had two significant cracks on the trunk of the tree. Living in South Louisiana, this doesn't surprise me. One minute it's cold, then hot.  We go through seasons when we're praying for rain, then when the rain starts, it doesn't know when to stop. Splits can occur on the trunk of the tree as well as on branches. Bark splits are not likely to be fatal to trees, although they will, in some cases, allow entry of disease organisms, which can cause decay. During late winter and early spring, sharp temperature changes between day and night can freeze the water within the trunk causing it to explode or split open in a symptom referred to as “frost-cracks.” Frost cracks can also start from a wound inflicted earlier in the tree’s development. Sometimes the crack may remain in the internal wood, but frost can cause the crack to expand and split the bark. Excessively lat

Mulching (Mowing) leaves is a great way to dispose of them. Mulching also mixes grass clippings with the leaf particles. Mulching is faster and far easier than raking. As organic mulches decompose, they release valuable nutrients for use by your lawn and landscape plants. This is also a good time evaluate your landscape, and remove unattractive plants. NOTE:  If your Banana tree foliage, or other bulbed plants have turned brown from the frost, you can cut them back. They're bulbs and return in the spring.  Before planting in Spring, now would be a good time to get your shed in order, clear our weeds, mulch and other debris. Prepare the soil. Set up new planters and garden beds. Remove invasive weeds that may have taken over the growing season. Copyright© Beau Monde Landscape LLC. All Rights Reserved.
