Colorful flowers always add fullness to a home’s beautiful display, as the gorgeous Blue Agapanthus does. It is especially attractive when this lily of the Nile is seen in your garden bed or along your walkway, amassed in a broad array fully blooming.
If you’ve never seen this perennial before, it has clusters of large, blue, lavender or purple, funnel-like blooms. These flowers sit on long stalks towering over the green leaves in its bundle below. The best time to spot this African Lily in full bloom is during its peak times of the year which is summer and early fall.

It’s springtime in north Florida, and as the new season settles in for the next three months, our temperatures are beginning to rise. However, even though we are starting to see more 80-degree days doesn’t necessarily mean your lawn is ready to get fertilized.
Every Spring, when our Leon County lawns begin wakening up, we’ll get calls, emails or Facebook questions asking one of our Dickerson lawn care specialists, “How early can I fertilize my lawn?” That’s a great question, and according to William Dickerson, the company owner, and 32-year veteran of lawn care maintenance, he recommends fertilizing by mid-April after the Azaleas and Dogwoods have finished blooming.

With all the rainy, cold weather behind us, it looks like we’re in for another beautiful Leon County season! Spring is right on time, and you know what that means for Tallahassee residents. It’s time to spring into action and get our yards summer-time ready with some good old fashion spring grooming!
Before you pick-up that rake, pull that mower cord or gas up your trimmer, it’s always best to create your “to-do” list first. By checking items off your agenda, as they get completed, the job will go faster and eliminate what needs attention next.

There is nothing more soothing and relaxing than the sound of gently flowing water in the background. It could be a bubbling pond or soft waterfall. These soft tones of trickling water brings calm and peace of mind while blending in with the sounds of nature.
Small water features will also attract beautiful birds, the curious dragonfly, and a host of elegant and exotic butterflies to your backyard haven!
