Spruce up your landscaping<\/h2>\n

We all know that a majority of plants start to lose their leaves in the fall and winter. What you may not know is how your particular trees, shrubs, and groundcover are going to change as the cold sets in. If you\u2019re unsure about a certain plant and how it will behave in the coming months, you may want to consult with local experts.<\/p>\n

Missy Cady-Kampmeyer<\/a>, a top real estate agent in Jacksonville, Florida, often relies on the expertise of a professional landscape architect<\/a> when advising her clients about curb appeal. Landscape architects have extensive knowledge of the height, color, and hardiness of plants in your climate zone. A designer will create a specific plan for your space for between $50 and $150 per hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to tackle the project yourself but need some help getting started, often a plant specialist at your greenhouse or garden shop can identify your trees and shrubs based on photos on your phone. They can help predict what each plant will do and recommend plants based on your desires. Sometimes this service is free; some shops may charge a small fee. American Public Gardens Association members<\/a> can also typically consult with gardeners or take landscaping classes that are very specific to their areas.<\/p>\n

You can also use free apps to try to identify the shrubs and trees in your yard. Some of the top-rated free options in the Android and iOS app stores<\/a> include Pl@ntNet<\/a>, Seek by iNaturalist<\/a>, LeafSnap<\/a>, and PlantSnap<\/a>. Taking what you\u2019ve learned to a plant specialist can help save some time and give you the opportunity to focus on what\u2019s not working well in your yard and how to fix it.<\/p>\n

Once you have an idea of what will happen to your foliage, you can make landscape changes and additions<\/a> that will keep your front yard looking fantastic all year long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
