July! When we can really enjoy the
long summer days and evenings!
FEATURED PROJECT
It's July, and you really know that
the summer outdoor living season is in full swing! A screened
in porch such as this one would provide you with added space,
plenty of screened area to catch every breeze, and let you
enjoy all the scenery - with the added bonus of more light
pouring through the triple windows above the screened panels.
A spacious room in which you will love to spend your time!

Dig a hole twice as wide, but slightly shallower
than the root ball of the tree.
Roughen the sides and bottom of the hole - smooth
sides will act like cement - restricting growth.
Remove the tree gently but firmly from the container,
check for circling roots, separate and pull the roots
downward, and put the tree into the ground without delay.
Make sure the tree is standing straight, with its best side
(if there is one) toward your windows that look out on it,
then backfull the hole, tamping the soil down every few
shovel-fuls. Don't cover the crown of the root
ball. This needs the light and air.
Cover it all (except the crown of the root-ball) with
2 - 4 inches of mulch.

Types of Decking Material to Consider When Planning A Deck
Pressure-treated Pine
Decks made from pressure-treated pine will last for many years
if the material is properly cared for, but no matter how often
a pressure-treated pine deck is sealed, pressure treated lumber
can still warp. Wood taken from older pine trees and used for
decking material is less likely to warp, but younger trees aren’t
as solid and often contain more knots that make pressure-treated
pine weaker. Even so, decking material made from pressure-treated
lumber is a good investment, and will provide many years of outdoor
luxury and beauty.
Wood Composites
Wood composite is often used for decking material, and this popular
decking material option is a unique combination of wood fiber and vinyl.
Wood composite decking material is strong and provides realistic wood
texture, and the vinyl component makes this decking material extremely
easy to care for. Wood composite decking material is even more appealing
because this decking material won’t warp, shrink, or split
Care Free Vinyl
Carefree vinyl decking material is also designed to look like real wood,
and the texture is similar to wood composite decking material.It is easy
to clean, and it’s available in a wide range of colors and shades, and it
doesn’t fade or become uncomfortably hot in direct sunlight.
Exotic Wood
Although exotic wood still requires treating to prevent discoloration and
water damage, exotic wood decking material is gouge resistant and very hard
compared to pressure-treated pine. Exotic wood is usually imported from South
America, and this is why the price is considerably more than other decking
material options
