Upgrade Your Front Yard

By

Your home should be your favorite place to see at the end of a long day. Whether you are returning in the afternoon after a day at the beach or are pulling into the driveway after work hoping you remembered to leave the porch light on, you should feel an immense sense of satisfaction when you look at your home. There are many ways to increase the curb appeal of your house, and we have covered many of them here.

The front yard of your home will be a point of pride if you adapt a few guidelines for your family:

1

  • Add fresh mulch. There are many options for mulch in Florida. Whether you choose to use pine needles, wood chips, or bark nuggets, your beds will look amazing.
  • Improve existing edging. A clean border can add subtle visual interest and create defined areas for entertaining.
    2

 

  • Power wash the driveway and walkways. Pavers and concrete driveways alike will benefit from a thorough power washing. It will remove the debris of daily life and could lighten some stains as well.
  • Add a planter box near the entry. Make it easy to swap our seasonal flowers by adding a decorative planter box near your front door.

 

No one knows your home as well as you do. Identify your favorite features of your home and hire a landscaper to help you bring out those features.

Need landscaping for your home? The two before/after pictures above demonstrate the excellent work of Martin Garcia with Extreme Cutz.  You can reach him at 904-805-3467.

6 Ways to Make Your Move to Jacksonville Easier

By

Moving to a new city can be stressful. You’re leaving behind familiar stores and places—not to mention friends and family! Jacksonville is a diverse city perfect for families, young professionals, retirees and entrepreneurs. You’re bound to feel at home in no time if you follow our tips:

  1. Try the local cuisine. Chains can be good when you need something familiar but it’s not much fun to venture into a new part of town and stick to the basics. You won’t want to miss local favorites like Metro Diner or Poe’s Tavern.
  2. Make connections before you arrive.  Whether you are moving from Tampa or Boston, chances are you already know someone who lives in Jacksonville or St. Augustine. Mention your upcoming move to your circle of friends and you may snag an invite to lunch with an old friend.
  3. Find the local chapter of national organizations. Jacksonville is home to many non-profit organizations and has scores of chapters of national organization. You can get involved with Toastmasters or Rotary Club to make new friends.
  4. Get to know your neighbors. Many communities host monthly events for residents. This is a good way to get to know others who may be new to town.
  5. Find people with similar interests on Meetup, through Facebook Groups, or even LinkedIn Groups.
  6. Sign up for alerts about nearby events. Receive information in your inbox about upcoming events in Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Both cities have a thriving tourism industry and a lot of options for locals as well.

We know that whether you come to Jacksonville with a new job, to join family and friends, or to retire, you will find many things to do to keep you engaged in the community.
