Preparation For North Texas Heat

As the beginning of March approaches, we already notice our local trees budding to signal that spring is just around the corner. After such a mild winter in North Texas, it is natural to wonder if we will experience the same dry conditions we had in 2011, and it certainly looks as if we will. Recent rainfall has helped tremendously in increasing the water levels in our local reservoirs. Unfortunately, the rest of the state has not experienced the same, and even north Texas counties have not lifted the Stage 3 water restrictions, according to the North Texas Municipal Water District.

Due in part to the economic conditions as well as the drought and lack of water in local lakes, it is still common for Texans to use spring breaks and summer for “stay-cations.” Because of this, more and more homeowners are investing money into their own backyards. Partly to provide entertainment for the family and also as a long term investment to increase the value of their homes. Outdoor kitchens continue to be one of the top trends homeowners are adding to their backyards in addition to seating areas to create a true outdoor living space. We expect with the ongoing dry weather in north Texas, that low-maintenance landscaping will be a priority in the coming months as well. Native plants, which have proven ability to withstand the notorious Texas summers, will help you conserve water and brighten up your backyard.

Whatever you desire for your outdoor living space, Southwest Fence & Deck would appreciate the opportunity to work with you to make it happen. Summer will be here before you know it, so start planning now to ensure it will be ready to enjoy by the time the warm weather arrives!
