There are plenty of potential risks that present themselves when working outdoors. Of course, one of the most dreaded is potential contact with poisonous plants. If you live in the Brandenburg, Kentucky area, or anywhere in North America for that matter, it is very likely that you will eventually come in contact with poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac since they grow in wooded/marshy areas throughout North America. If you’ve ever experienced a poison plant rash, then you already know how dreadful, itchy, and even painful it can be. Between the redness, swelling, and blisters, it’s certainly no fun. For those who are more sensitive a severe case can become quite serious, which is why poisonous plant protection is so important.

There is no mistaking a professionally designed and installed landscape project. The landscape around your home can make a great first impression on guests and those just passing by. It can be an eyesore that leaves everyone wondering what you were thinking when you dreamed up this design if, by chance, you even had a plan in mind. We have all seen beautiful houses that have been hidden behind hideous landscapes. Many new homeowners think that landscaping is a simple task that they can easily manage on their own. Doing it yourself does in fact save the cost of professional landscape design and installation, but landscape design and installation require a great deal of knowledge, skill, and effort if you want the result to look fantastic and survive.
