A common mistake made by the do-it yourself landscapers is cutting the grass too short, in an effort to keep it looking manicured longer. As tempting as it may be, resist the urge, and follow these easy steps to grow a beautiful lawn.
The sharper you keep your blades, the more likely your grass is going to stay green. If your blades are dull, grass is torn instead of actually cut which results in the ends turning brown and making your lawn more susceptible to weeds and common disease.

Kleb Woods Nature Preserve, a local wildlife preserve and hotspot for birdwatchers, is quickly becoming a popular location for area organizations to perform eco-works.
The Kleb Woods Nature Preserve hosted a two-weekend Eagle Scout project giving the scouts and their dads the opportunity to construct a wooden path, enhancing the preserve, and earning the boys a badge.
The Scouts group was followed by a Rosehill Christian School class planting of a Republic of Texas orange tree near the Kleb Farm House. This special, heritage variety orange was originally developed by early Texans during the Republic years of the early 1840’s and planted in celebration of Texas Independence Day. The Rosehill students also assisted with Japanese Privet control along the walking trail.
