Tips To Help Your Trees Thrive

By | Inside Rhody, outdoors, service | No Comments

Keep your trees green and growing STRONG all summer long!

Follow these tips to keep your landscape healthy and beautiful….

  1. Inspect

While your trees are back in full bloom, now is the perfect time to conduct a proper inspection. Inspecting your trees ensures that they are receiving the proper amount of care and nutrients while avoiding pest damage and disease. Check the condition of the leaves on your trees, making sure they are not an abnormal color or shape. Evaluate the trunk and branches of the tree for visible insects, holes, and irregular growth.

  1. Prune

Pruning your trees is essential for their continued healthy growth! Removing unnecessary or damaged branches will relieve your tree of excess weight, spreading disease, and improve its overall appearance.

  1. Mulch

Mulching around the base of your trees does not only present beautifully in your yard, but it also provides great benefits to the health of your trees. Mulch acts as a barrier for weed growth, regulates the ground temperature in the hot summer sun, and retains moisture at your tree’s base to maintain hydration.

  1. Hydrate

Keep your trees hydrated during the summer heat! Your trees should be getting 10 gallons of water for each inch of the trunk’s diameter. To further boost growth and hydration retention, apply the water deeper into the tree’s base, rather than on the surface.

  • Tip: Watering your trees early in the morning or later in the evening will allow the tree to better soak up the water before the heat hits!

The Ultimate Outdoor Living Space

By | Inside Rhody, outdoors, service, Whats Happening | No Comments

What do you get when you combine warm summer nights, the ambiance of a roaring fire, and picturesque landscaping? A personal escape right in your backyard!

The best part about a backyard project is you can make it as unique and elaborate as your imagination (and budget) will allow! Here are a few things to consider when designing your backyard oasis:

  • Who will you share this space with? If it’s just an intimate space for you and your family, a small seating area should suffice. For entertaining guests at large gatherings consider creating an outdoor kitchen featuring a wrap-around bar.
  • When will you spend time in your space? If you envision spending Sunday afternoons in the warm sun you may want to add some shade with a pergola or awning. If summer nights are your go-to, ambient lighting is a must! Opt for hanging bistro lights or solar-powered lights to illuminate your walkway.
  • Do you want ongoing maintenance? If you enjoy the labor of love that is maintaining your landscape then opt for plenty of plants and grass. If you prefer a low-maintenance set up consider installing a large patio. The same goes for choosing your materials! Wood needs care every few years, such as repairing rot and restaining while vinyl will last a lifetime maintenance-free.
  • Do you want to tend to a fire? Some people love the process of building the perfect campfire, but if ease of use is more your speed, opt for a propane firepit.
  • Know your yard! If you have a septic system, make sure you do not compromise it by building on it. If you have low spots in your yard that tend to collect water, avoid building there and do not build in an area that will promote drainage towards your home.

Spend

  1. Spruce up your backyard with a fire pit
    1. Adding a fire pit to your backyard creates a fun new, socially distanced, hangout spot.
  2. Add torches for some flare
    1. Torches add beautiful ambient lighting to your deck or yard and keep pesky mosquitos away too.
  3. Find your green thumb
    1. Including plants in your yard’s landscaping adds color and makes your outdoor space look more complete. Plants also provide a natural habit for pollinators and insects.
  4. Don’t forget the mulch
    1. Don’t forget to add mulch to your newly planted beds for a much more polished look. Also, mulch protects soil compaction during rainstorms and slows down water evaporation so you don’t need to water as much.

Renew Your Insurance Policies for the New Year!

By | Inside Rhody, service, Whats Happening | No Comments

The new year is upon us, and there is no better time to set goals for 2021! Though you may be focused on tackling new challenges, the new year is a perfect time to evaluate your insurance needs to make sure you are on track for this upcoming year!

As you already know, a lot can change in a year and when you reflect on your last twelve months, you might realize that some of those changes could affect your insurance needs. The Lawrence Agency, located in Lincoln, RI is fully committed to operating with honesty and integrity. They strive to deliver exceptional products and services for individuals, families and businesses throughout the Ocean State. They will help you find the right insurance coverage to keep you safe at all times. Head into the new year with confidence knowing you are properly protected.

Are you Protected on the Road?

It is very easy to renew your auto insurance coverage year after year without giving it much thought, but it is important to look over your current policy and see where you can save money. This is all determined on how much you drive, your current driving record, the type of car you drive, where you live, how old you are and much more.

Evaluate Your Homeowners Insurance

Many homeowners have used the extra time spent at home to make renovations around the house. Whether you finished your basement recently or made updates to your kitchen, this can affect how much your home is currently worth. One of the agents at The Lawrence agency can help you determine if you have enough coverage to protect your home and the valuables inside of it. While you are at it, be sure to update a record of all the personal possessions inside your home (jewelry, art, electronics).

Protect Your Loved Ones

Investing in life insurance is a way of showing you care about your love ones’ future. Maybe you recently got married or had your first child or now you are an empty nester. This all affects your coverage. If you don’t have life insurance yet, this is a crucial element that will financially protect your family. The younger you are when you get life insurance, the less expensive it will be.

It doesn’t have to be a time-consuming hassle to cross off all the items on your insurance resolution list. Scheduling a review with one of the agents at The Lawrence Agency will help take care of all your updates at once so you know you have the best coverage. Give them a call at 401-726-3210 or visit their website www.lawrenceagencyinc.com to learn more!
