Summertime in Pennsylvania is a fantastic mixture of warm, cool, and windy days. Especially if you live out in a rural area, the climate is likely to make you feel eager to get outdoors whenever you can. If you love to spend time outside, you are sure to value the look, sustainability, and value of your home’s landscaping and lawn care. If you want to ensure you unlock your home’s full potential this summer, while simultaneously keeping yourself busy and entertained, here are six projects that can help you reach your goal: 

1. Curating Your Land for Local Wildlife 

When you enjoy outdoor activities, and home projects, you should always consider how your actions might affect the local wildlife that surrounds your property. One of the best ways to do this is to curate your land, and especially your garden spaces, to be welcoming to the local wildlife. Not only will this greatly improve the sustainability and beauty of your home’s exterior, but it will allow you to witness the miraculous sight of wildlife visiting your property now and then. 

2. The Perfect Lawn Care Routine 

Few things can help you feel confident about your home’s attractiveness, and its value, quite like a well-manicured, perfectly cut lawn. However, to continuously have a solid-looking lawn, you have to put in a lot of man-hours. Especially if you live on a large property in the rural areas of PA, trying to continuously manicure your property can become a daunting task. To help you keep your property gorgeous, and to prevent issues that can arise from poor lawn maintenance, hiring your community’s best lawn care and landscaping service provides a stellar solution. 

3. Community Gardens 

Community gardens have been a staple of healthy suburban and urban communities for centuries. Even if you live in a rural area that is fairly spread out, planting a community garden that can be used by your neighbors is a great way to show your community how much you care. These gardens help fight food insecurity, create a sustainable farming space and greatly boost the moods of the people who help to keep them thriving. If you want a project that will fill both your heart and brain in the summer of 2022, this is one of the best options out there. 

4. Custom Fire Pits 

During smooth summer nights, having a place where you can keep warm, cozy, and content is a true luxury. If your space is not too dry, and you have enough room so that smoke does not become distressing for your neighbors, investing in a custom fire pit for your property can truly revolutionize your summer. Doing bonfires for community events, or simply having friends and family over to enjoy roasted hotdogs are just a few of the endless events you can unlock by installing a custom fire pit on your property. 

5. Floral Fences 

Fences can boost your privacy, and boost the aesthetic oomph of your property in a major way. However, some people are simply not into the idea of having a traditional wooden or steel fence. If you want a clear property boundary, but want it to look down-to-Earth and gorgeous, look no further than a floral fence project. By planting the correct shrubbery, vines, and flowers, you can create an all-natural fence that will make your property look as though it popped out of a fairy tale. 

6. Going Artificial for Easy Maintenance 

If you want to save tons of money and man-hours on lawn care maintenance this summer, investing in artificial grass, or a stone garden in place of a lawn provides a stellar solution. While artificial grass used to be seen as cheap, modern builds are incredibly sharp and can solidify the look and style of your property. The fact that they do not take endless man-hours to keep intact is the biggest selling point, however, and homeowners that live in difficult, intensely hot climates often opt for artificial grass or stone gardens to avoid having to deal with a completely dead lawn. 

Here’s to a Beautiful, Productive Summer 

With these six projects, you can keep yourself busy throughout the summer of 2022. Whether you’re looking to add value to your home, beautify your landscape, or simply boost the sustainability of your home environment, each of these projects will provide you with invaluable benefits. With the right amount of leg work and a passion for style and change, you can potentially nail every single one of these projects in the summer of 2022.
