#LandCrafted
It’s been more than 130 years since J. Sterling Morton founded Arbor Day. His simple idea of establishing a special day for planting trees is now more important than ever. Arbor Day is a day set aside to celebrate trees and all of their benefits.
Trees provide valuable environmental services such as shade in summer, carbon fixation, oxygen production, soil erosion reduction, more favorable groundwater recharge, and habitat for many forms of other plant and animal life.
Someone is sitting in the shade today, because someone planted a tree. Let Alfresco Landscapes help with the selection and planting of your tree(s).
Call today to schedule a time to meet with one of our designers. (616)453-2530

Curb Appeal Matters
There are a lot of homes on the market this year. Today’s buyers have much more to choose from in the way of inventory, any home for sale must make a positive first impression. Curb appeal matters more now than ever. Exterior remodeling projects typically deliver the greatest return-on-investment to home sellers. Of course, the resale value of any remodeling project will depend on a variety of factors, such as a home’s location, its overall condition, the quality of the surrounding properties and regional economic circumstances. Remember, people are not buying the house itself, but also the landscape. Here are a few things to think about when assessing your home’s landscape.
Are there shade trees on your property? Shade trees can decrease your cooling cost in the summer as well as create a nice place to relax outside. Mature shade trees, such as maples & oaks can increase your property value up to 15%. It is also desirable to have ornamental & flowering trees, such as Japanese maples, flowering cherries and dogwoods. What about your shrubs? Are they even planted in the right place? When it comes to plants on your property, not only is their existence important, but also their health. Have your plants been well cared for? Have they been pruned at the proper time & in a proper way?
Besides plants, there is much more to consider when assessing your property as well. What about your land-contour? Is water running away or towards your house? Is your property flat? Contours add interest to a landscape. Is there an irrigation system? Sprinklers are a big plus for gardens & lawns. What about the circulation pattern to enter your home? Is it clear where people should park or enter the home? Are the drives, patios, & walks in good condition? There are many factors to consider when evaluating your home’s landscape. If you are concerned and would like the input from one of our talented landscape professionals please call Alfresco Landscapes today. We will be more than happy to meet you at your home & discuss landscape options.

A huge shoutout to Tony Betten & Sons Ford and especially Aaron Powers for the attention to the details and the professional experience we receive.
From the moment we made the call that we needed a new truck due to unforeseen circumstances, to the moment just a day later when our new 2021 F250 was delivered to our door. A truly seamless experience.
As a matter fact, Aaron has taken our calls on his days off and at 7 o’clock this morning when we told him one of our trucks needed service and it was at the dealership to be taken care of.
Aaron goes above and beyond for his clients. The owners should feel blessed to have Aaron as a dedicated individual in their employ.
If your in the need of a Ford, make sure you ask only for Aaron at Tony Betten & Sons Ford.
It will be an experience that continues way after the sale is complete.
Thank You Aaron Powers and thank you Tony Betten!
You have kept us on the road so that we can service our clients.
Deicer is working nicely on this sunny 20° afternoon.
Now is the perfect time for you to book an appointment with one of our Landscape designers, or request a personalized proposal for your lawn care/maintenance needs.

It’s not too late to mulch fallen leaves into lawns
Keep mulching your leaves through the season – don’t bag ‘em! University research shows it’s great for your lawn.
Leaf residue left behind on the surface of the lawn after mulching over leaves. The tiny pieces will last a few days and eventually sift down through the turf.
Leaf residue left behind on the surface of the lawn after mulching over leaves. The tiny pieces will last a few days and eventually sift down through the turf.
For many years, turf managers and homeowners have been raking and bagging leaves to prevent leaves from piling up, resulting in disaster for the turf plant below. The ban on yard waste during the 90s prompted University turf specialists to investigate how lawns would react to having a whole season’s worth of ground-up leaves left on the lawn, and the results may surprise you! They found lawns do better with a layer of mulched leaves.
On those slightly dewy mornings in the fall, elevate your mower deck to the highest setting and set out on your merry way, crossing over the leaves once or twice. Mulching mowers can handle up to 6 inches of leaves at a time in one pass, but a traditional mower might take several trips. Depending on how many leaves fall each week, you may find yourself doing this process twice in one week. There will be obvious “leaf residue” on the surface of the lawn that only lasts for a few days. The tiny pieces will eventually sift down through the turf, providing a certain amount of weed control while recycling essential nutrients that can save you money and time. Think of it as a “smoothie” for the lawn. Next spring, you won’t even notice the tiny leaf particles that have tucked themselves neatly around the crown of the grass plants.
Using a mulching mower, take one or two passes over the fallen leaves to crush them into tiny particles (left). The following spring (right), you won't even see the ground up leaves as they hide in and around the turf plants.
After several years of mulching leaves, you will see the benefits while enjoying an “earth friendly” activity that is actually good for the lawn!
