Rooted in - Fall into Gardening
Are you ready to take your landscape to the next level?! Fall is a perfect time to give you’re landscape a refresh. If you’re having trouble controlling unwanted plants in your lawn and landscape or if you’re confused about when to water and when to wait, this class on October 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. is for you. Learn the best approach to planting and maintenance without the overuse of chemicals (or your time)– so you can reap the rewards of a greener environment. We’ll also go out on a limb with tips on when and what to prune back, plus we’ll branch out with an overview of simple pruning techniques. We’re sure you’ll have so mulch fun! 

We notice!
This Northpointe Crossing home ushers in the feeling of fall with their festive decorations! Their efforts in providing this cheerful look for the neighborhood have not gone unnoticed and that is why they have been selected as the October We Notice! Property.
