Although it is still Winter, now is the time tostart laying the foundation for a successfulturf growing season. Crabgrass Pre-Emergents, Broad Leaf Weed Control andFertilizer are being applied to turf all overHampton Roads. The most important part ofthis application is the Crabgrass Pre-Emergent. Crabgrass is an annual (only hasone life cycle) that if not properly controlledhas the potential to take over a lawn in onegrowing season. The thought of thathappening to our clients’ turf is unacceptable.We only a proven pre-emergent,Dimension, to ensure we keep this invasiveweed out of the turf.

After meeting with my clients, who hadn'tused their backyard for two years andconsidered it as "just a place for the dog to gooutside", my mission was to create an outdoorliving space to relax and enjoy family, andalso to entertain. It was a small area, so all ofthe elements had to efficiently use their spaceand maximize the comfort and appeal for thefamily. Basnight's design incorporated a paverpatio, fire pit, garden seat wall and columnsto allow an additional sitting area. We alsoinstalled an all new, unified landscapingdesign throughout the entire property and aclear cedar privacy fence.I am convinced that outdoor living spaces
are the number one way to invest in yourhome.

Rainwater harvesting has become more of ahousehold topic in the past few years as moredroughts have caused lower water tables andmore demand on fresh water has left manycommunities unable to use city/county waterfor irrigation purposes. At the EdinburghCommunity in Chesapeake, VA, BasnightLand and Lawn, Inc. designed and managesone of the larger rainwater harvesting systemsin Hampton Roads. Edinburgh uses twomultiple acre lakes to collect and filterrainwater. The water is then used forirrigation of the many acres of common areasand for a 40' high waterfall feature thatcreates a relaxing atmosphere for the privatecommunity park. Basnight Land and Lawncan design, build and maintain a rainwaterharvesting system for your residential orcommerical property to enhance thesustainability and beauty of your property.
