The old saying goes that April showers bring May flowers … so after a rainy weekend, there’s no better time to start whipping your yard into shape after an extremely dry spring. So how do you go from an empty garden and brown grass patches to “Yard of the Month?” Easy: Shop at La Familia. Our stores carry all the equipment you need to make your yard “a 10” – and at a fraction of the price you’d pay at a traditional retailer. From push and riding lawn mowers to blowers to weed whackers, we’re full of gear to make your landscaping process a little easier.

But what if your green thumb is more of a brown one and you have no idea how to tackle a landscaping project, no matter what fantastic equipment you own? Lowe’s has excellent “do it yourself” tutorials online to teach you how to do everything from creating a plant bed to installing irrigation systems. And Better Homes & Gardens is also an excellent resource for both practical and creative landscape tips that will enhance your home’s exterior.

Do you have any landscaping or gardening tips to share that can help other customers create the most beautiful homes on their blocks? If so, we’d love to hear about them!
