Imagine stepping outside to enjoy a nice evening out on your patio in Buffalo, Lancaster, East Amherst, or the surrounding areas in New York. By installing hardscaping elements in your yard, you can!

Hardscaping is defined as the manmade features in a yard, like patios, walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and more. When you combine that with softscaping—the plants, flowers, shrubs, and other organic plant matter—in your yard, you get landscaping.

Hardscapes can not only improve your curb appeal, but they can also increase your property value. There are many reasons you should add hardscaping to your property.

Retaining & Seating Walls Help Prevent Erosion and Add Usable Space to Your Property

When retaining walls are installed, they can raise planting beds and help to prevent soil from eroding away in a rainstorm. They can also help level out hills on your property to create usable space where grass and other plants can begin to grow. By adding matching seating walls, you can create seating in your outdoor living space for friends and family to enjoy the outdoors at any time.

Decorative Driveways Boost Curb Appeal

Many driveways look generic because they’re made from plain concrete or pavement. With a decorative driveway that is made from concrete pavers or brick, your property can stand out among the others in your neighborhood. At Buffalo Lawn & Landscape, we can install a decorative driveway that matches the...

There is a lot that goes into getting your lawn ready for the high-traffic months of spring and summer in Buffalo, Lancaster, East Amherst, NY and the surrounding areas. To withstand all the activity between mowing, kids running around, and entertaining guests, your grass needs to be fortified with various things like fertilizer, weed control, and insect control.

Getting your lawn ready for the year is a big task that involves many aspects but one of the most important things you can do in the spring is to fertilize your lawn.

The Essential Nutrients Included in Fertilizer

Your lawn needs three essential nutrients to thrive: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Each nutrient fosters different things within your grass. Nitrogen is used all year long because it helps produce chlorophyll, which is needed for maximum photosynthesis. Phosphorus helps roots grow strong, so it’s used for new grass mostly. Potassium helps plants retain water as well as other nutrients.

All three play a different role and lawn care experts like Buffalo Lawn & Landscape can help determine the best kinds of fertilizer to use based on the health of your grass and soil.

Applying Fertilizer in the Spring

Overall, your yard should receive six treatments a year. Two of those should happen in the...

But if your lawn isn’t looking its greatest, you may feel unsure about spending so much time on it. If you want to get your lawn looking its best, working with a trusted lawn care professional like Buffalo Lawn & Landscape is a great way to do it. We have our own lawn maintenance plan created with lawns just like yours in mind.

Implement a Regular Fertilization, Weed Control, & Insect Control Schedule

One of the most important things you can do for your grass health is to regularly give it the nutrients it craves. With our We Mean Green program, your lawn receives six treatments during the year. These treatments include:

• Fertilizer
• Pre-emergent and Post-emergent Weed Control
• Insect Control

Spring is the perfect time to start lawn care maintenance, as our first treatment is applied in early spring with fertilizer and pre-emergent weed control. In late spring, the grass gets another treatment with slow-release fertilizer to encourage strong growth, as well as more weed control if necessary.

In early and late summer, more treatments are applied to fortify the grass. Our early fall treatment prepares the turf for winter...
