Technology Makes Landscaping Easier Than Ever
Bring Life to Your Property with Landscape Changes
Jose Wheeler
While a family can enjoy their landscape in many ways, you may know that your family loves wildlife. However, your current landscape may not attract many animals and birds due to a lack of food, shelter, shade, and water that they usually need. An easy way to solve this problem is to hire landscape professionals to make changes that invite wildlife.
Trees
Trees are an exceptional way to bring wildlife to your property, especially birds. The tricky part is deciding how to accommodate birds and which ones you want to entice. For instance, you can grow a crabapple tree to provide nest sites, coverage, and various food types. This tree excels at inviting various birds, including robins, bluebirds, and cardinals.
A landscaping company can teach you about native trees and what each one brings to your property regarding wildlife and birds. This process will make it easier for you to decide on trees.
Another way that trees can attract wildlife is by providing a home for squirrel nests. Living in a climate with freezing winters often leads to squirrels making homes inside trees.
Pond
A pond is a great addition because of all the things it can bring to your landscape design. One of the most exciting parts is introducing fish to live in the pond throughout the year. You can pick native fish that are comfortable in a pond and handle the seasonal temperature changes well.
These fish can provide entertainment and stimulation for your children because they can play a major role in taking care of them through the years.
Another thing that a pond can do is provide a water source that birds and other animals can use for bathing and drinking. Landscapers can help you create ideal biological pond filtration that keeps the water healthy for the fish living in it and the animals that may drink the water.
Flowers
Flowers beautify all landscapes. Also, you can expect them to attract wildlife to your property, such as hummingbirds that extract nectar from all the flowers. Strategic flower selection can also help attract birds by inviting bugs that they can use as part of their diet.
While you can change your landscape for various reasons, you may look forward to attracting wildlife more than other motives. Fortunately, you can start working with landscapers to make these additions and changes to your property to enjoy wildlife visits on your property.

When I was young, I loved helping my mother in the garden. Our yard was filled with plants and flowers that she kept in immaculate condition. Once I was an adult and bought my first home, I learned that there was much more to landscaping a yard than I ever imagined! After a little trial and error planting a few flowers in my yard that died quickly, I realized the technology that is available to aspiring gardeners makes trial and error a thing of the past. After I found out what my "hardiness zone" was, I realized I was planting flowers made for much cooler climates, and I played around with software that let me design my yard very easily! I learned a lot throughout the experience, so I thought I would share my tips with everyone who needs them. Come back often to check out my new tips!
