It pays to be ahead of the storm It’s always a good idea to prepare your home and family for a big summer storm before it happens. Better to be safe than sorry.

Build an emergency kit • Include a few days’ worth of clothing for the entire family, non-perishable foods, drinking water, first aid kit, bathroom hygiene and baby/pet supplies, cash, blankets, flashlight, matches or candles • Work gloves, duct tape and small tools are also good to keep around Develop and practice an emergency plan with your family • Pick a safe place to gather away from windows, skylights and glass doors Keep a portable TV or radio on hand to monitor weather updates • Don’t forget extra batteries • Make sure cell phones are charged • Have an alternate cooking method in case of power outages such as a charcoal or propane grill Prepare your home • Reinforce windows with storm shutters • Keep sheets of plywood or tarps to cover broken windows or damage • Clean gutters to prevent clogging as this can cause water to pour down the side of the house or under the roof • Waterproof your home by checking for cracks and inspecting tiles and shingles and seal your vents to prevent wind or rain damage • Make sure vents are sealed to prevent wind and rain from entering • A battery operated backup sump pump is also a good idea • Keep expensive or valuable items off the ground in case of flooding Prepare your yard • Trim your trees as falling branches and debris can cause a lot of damage • Ensure that your yard slopes away from your home as this can prevent water pooling and causing damage to the foundation • Secure outdoor items such as patio furniture in case of strong winds

Helpful Homeowner Tips THE GREEN, GREEN GRASS OF HOME

With the outdoor season upon us, there are a few simple ways to help your lawn stay lush and green and become the pride and joy of your neighborhood. You can start by giving your lawn a good raking to create a de-thatching effect and “wake up” the lawn for the season.

Cutting Regular cutting of the lawn is important because it thickens the grass. Cutting it little and often is better than all in one go. Switch directions and patterns so the grass blades aren’t pressed in the same direction each time. In the middle of summer, you might want to keep the grass a little longer so it withstands periods of drought.

Fertilizing Cutting the grass removes nutrients that need to be replaced to achieve healthy growth. From the beginning of spring, you should fertilize the lawn every four or five weeks. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous are important ingredients for a healthy lawn. Application amounts and instructions are available on most fertilizer packaging.

Watering If you want a lawn that is lush and green all summer, watering is important. How often you need to water your lawn depends on temperature and humidity. When a lawn needs water, the grass will begin to take on a blue-gray tint, and the older grass blades will begin to curl up and wilt. New lawns should be watered once a day so seeds can germinate and a solid root system can form. You can water your lawn by hand or select from a variety of sprinkler options or automated irrigation systems.

With persistence, you can win the battle against weeds using the right tools, herbicides or weed-n-feed products. Also, the grass roots need air in order to grow, therefore it is important to occasionally aerate your lawn to clear away dead roots and thatch to create more breathing space for the lower parts of the grass plus help stems grow better.
