We’re coming into August and while we might be in the last few weeks of summer, that’s still four weeks for family vacations, cookouts with friends, and pool parties. Unfortunately for homeowners with traditional live grass, they also have to spend this time worrying about their lawn care.

Thankfully, JNR Home Improvements brings affordable, low-maintenance landscaping to the people of the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita. Choosing to switch from live turf to artificial grass or to xeriscape is one of the best ways to take away the summer stress. By slashing the required yard work down to a tiny fraction, you save yourself in time and money, for this summer and every summer to follow.

Low-maintenance landscaping is the best option for families that want to make summer an adventure. Making a getaway for a weekend, or even an entire week is no problem when you have an artificial turf lawn or a desert landscape. With a grass lawn, this would be unthinkable. Setting a timer to water your grass lawn puts you at risk of overwatering and breaking community watering restrictions, and a gardener’s fees can cut into your vacation budget. If you want a landscape that will look exactly as great as it did before you left on vacation then low-maintenance, water-efficient landscaping is what you need!

Barbeques and pool parties are a breeze when you don’t have to worry about the appearance of your outdoor living spaces. Artificial grass always looks perfectly manicured, and with a combination of beautiful interlocking concrete pavers, you can trust that the most cleanup you’ll need to do is a quick spray with the garden hose. In the event of a spill, you can just spray it away. The 100% permeable proprietary backing of EasyTurf allows messes to pass easily through to the ground below.

Low-maintenance landscaping is low-stress and high-fun. When you can jump into your car for a summer road trip and come back to host a cookout without having to do any yard work or cleanup, you’ll know that you’ve made the right choice for your home. When your outdoor living spaces are always ready for company, you can sit back in pride!

Summer yard work is some of the most grueling of the Southern California year. With soaring temperatures and minimal wind, not only is doing outside chores downright dangerous midday, it is a frustrating drain on your wallet. For high desert residents, it’s time to make the switch to smarter, low-maintenance landscaping. For the people of the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita areas looking to make that change, JNR Home Improvements offers a cool and visually interesting solution--xeriscape! 

Xeriscape, also called desertscape, is a form of low-maintenance landscaping that utilizes native plant species, as well as desert gravel and stones. Desertscaping is a great way to cut down on the pain and fatigue of outside summer chores while investing in landscaping that will allow your home to look great from summer to winter. 

Choosing a design that includes native desert plant life is a great way to enjoy a living garden while cutting down on your water bill each month. These plants are naturally drought-tolerant, whereas grass needs gallons upon gallons each day just to survive the heat. When you switch to desert plants you can also choose to have a water-saving drip irrigation system installed. The plants will get all the water they require, and you’ll be saving gallons of money on all the water you don’t use. And with no need to worry over your yard’s appearance, you can rest assured that your home will continue to look its best while grass lawns wilt and crisp.

High desert landscaping can be incorporated into any home’s outdoor living spaces. With many unique design options in gravel, plants, and stones, we can craft a wholly unique outdoor space for you. From desert grasses and shrubs to dry riverbeds, we can create the landscape that you want. We can even incorporate sections of artificial turf into your design if you crave a splash of color. And with many options to choose from, including our pre-design Curb Appeal Program packages, xeriscape offers a highly cost-effective way to achieve a beautiful front yard.

Save your summer by switching to low-maintenance desert landscaping. Your home will look twice as good for a fraction of the effort. When you’re able to host a barbeque for your friends and family at the drop of a hat, you’ll feel pride in knowing that your outdoor spaces look cool even on the hottest days of the year.
