To winterize your garden, clear out dead plant material, prune only what needs it, spread two to three inches of mulch over the root zones, cut your watering schedule roughly in half, and keep frost cloth ready for tender plants. In Palm Coast and the rest of Flagler County, finish this work by late November

Choosing between artificial turf and sod is one of the biggest lawn decisions a Palm Coast homeowner will make, and it’s not a choice you want to get wrong.

Choosing between fescue grass and ryegrass is a question that comes up often among homeowners in Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, and Ormond Beach who want a lawn that stays green through the cooler months. Both grasses have earned a place in Florida yards, but they behave very differently once the humidity climbs and the sandy

If you’ve heard the phrase “mustard seed tree” and want one growing in your own yard, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most searched garden plants tied to a story about small beginnings turning into something big — and the good news is that it’s not hard to grow once you know what you’re

Walk any older neighborhood in Flagler County after a summer storm and you’ll see the same problem repeat itself — a low spot in the yard holding water for two days, a bare muddy trench where runoff cuts its own path, a flower bed that drowns every June.
