Why PermaLites 365 is the Best Choice for Your Home this Festive Season?

With the holiday season approaching, now’s the perfect time to get your lights up! Traditional holiday lights can be a pain to set up unless you enjoy digging dozens of feet of wire out of your garage, untangling it, and then spending a day stringing them up on your gutter by way of a rickety ladder. Fortunately, there’s a solution to all your lighting woes with PermaLites. PermaLites 365 holiday lights are designed to go up once and stay up year-round. So, you don’t have to worry about dangerous setup or expensive replacement lights each year. 

Permanent Holiday Lighting vs. Traditional Holiday Lighting

Permanent outdoor lights are the next step in outdoor decor and are perfect for Christmas, Halloween, or any major holiday. Unlike traditional lights, outdoor LED lights stay on your house year-round, regardless of the weather. To turn on your permanent strip lights, simply activate them directly from your phone. There’s no need to step outside and plug them in when night falls.

Why Choose PermaLites 365?

PermaLites 365 LED strip lights are a class above the rest since they are highly energy efficient. Traditional holiday string lights use incandescent bulbs that burn out and need replacing, but PermaLites feature long-lasting LEDs that you won’t need to replace. In addition, PermaLites 365 string lights are more energy efficient than other string lights. Running at an 87% lower energy consumption rate than competitors, these holiday string lights have a 50,000-hour life expectancy, so they’re sure to last you several Christmas seasons.

In addition to their longer life expectancy and low-maintenance setup, there are several other reasons why switching to permanent holiday lights will benefit your home:

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact

The best thing about PermaLites holiday lighting, and permanent holiday lights in general, is that they’re energy efficient. Unlike traditional incandescent string lights, permanent holiday lighting systems run on LEDs, which are more durable, last longer before burning out, and are more energy-efficient. Your PermaLite system will pay for itself in two short years by cutting down your Christmas electricity bill. You’ll also have the opportunity to cut down on electronic waste with replacement bulbs for your string lights.

PermaLites 365 Offers Customizable Lighting for Every Occasion

The best part about remote-control LED lights is their customizability. Traditional string lights only come in one color, and you can’t customize when or how they illuminate your home. Permanent holiday string lights, however, give homeowners complete customization over their lighting fixtures.

Set the Mood for Parties and Gatherings with the PermaLites Controller App

Using your PermaLites 365 controller app, change your light settings without leaving your seat! From the app, you’ll have complete control over your string lights’ color, brightness, and light pattern. If you want to, set your lights to a timer, so they turn on as soon as it gets dark and turn off when the sun rises. 

Lighting is Practically Invisible When not in Use

PermaLites 365 lighting strips are thin, clear, and nearly invisible during the day. It’s only at night when they shine– literally! As innocuous fixtures, you won’t have to worry about your holiday lights getting in the way or standing out like a sore thumb against your home’s exterior.

Avoid Accidents While Setting Up Lights

Accidents are bound to happen when setting up and taking down temporary lights can be dangerous– especially without a sturdy ladder, work gloves, and other general resources for setting up your lights. Of course, you can always schedule lighting professionals to install and remove your lights each year, but installing costs can add up– why not have a single installation for several years of beautiful lights?

The Ultimate Fall Checklist: 5 Things You Can do to Get the Perfect Lawn

Looking to get the perfect lawn this upcoming spring? Now’s the time to prep! Planting grass, overseeding your lawn in the winter are some of the best things you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy, vibrant, and lush year-round. 

Follow these five steps this fall to overwinter your lawn and ensure beautiful new growth in the spring:

Plant New Grass

Even though spring is usually seen as the best time to start planting, your lawn will actually benefit more from fall seeding than in the spring. When you plant grass seed in the fall, you’re more likely to get natural grass growth and less weed interference. Plus, you won’t have to worry about a patchy lawn when the snow melts! To ensure your grass takes root and develops, always make sure to prep your soil by raking it over and giving those seeds a good soak.

Colder Weather is Best for Local Grasses

Up here, local grasses like bluegrass, ryegrass, and buffalo grass prefer cooler temperatures for growing. Fall is the perfect time to plant new grass seeds since temperatures are just starting to drop, and the sun isn’t nearly as harsh as it would be during the summer or spring.

The Soil is Moister in Autumn

In addition to gentler sunshine, fall usually comes with dew in the mornings and a bit of rain– this added moisture in the air and soil is perfect for baby plants that need lots of moisture to grow and spread their roots. By planting your grass seed in the fall, your grass will develop roots that reach deeper into the soil, providing a more lush and durable lawn.

Overseeding

Even if your yard is looking pretty nice this fall, it’s always a good idea to overseed. Overseeding, or the process of adding grass seed to already existing grassy areas, is a great way to keep your lawn looking thick and vibrant while also pushing out any chances for weeds to grow. This procedure is an excellent chemical-free, long-term solution for weeds popping up on your lawn.

Overseeding with a variety of local grasses will also keep your lawn drought-resistant, disease-free, and it will provide the ecosystem with more diversity!

Fertilizing in Preparation for Winter

A good practice to get into with yard work (and gardening in general) is to prepare your outdoor plants for the snow and ice. This includes your grass! The best way to overwinter your lawn is to provide it with good soil aeration and plenty of nitrogen-rich fertilizer, so it will have plenty of nutrients to carry it through the cold months. To fertilize, simply do as you normally would in the spring.

Aerate Your Soil

Aerating your soil basically means churning it up a little so air can get through the dirt without difficulty. Unless you have the proper equipment, you’ll need to call someone to go over your lawn. Soil aeration is a fantastic way to improve your lawn drainage, so the grass won’t sit in wet patches and contract root rot. The aeration is also great for removing any thatch between your grass’ roots and the soil.

Keep Your Leaves

This next point is a bit tricky, since there’s mixed messages everywhere about the benefits of leaving your fallen leaves on your lawn. Here’s our definitive answer:

• Yes, you should keep raking your leaves, especially if you have lots of trees on your property. A leaf layer that’s too thick will smother your grass. 
• Instead, save your leaves and shred them. They make excellent natural fertilizer! Sprinkling a thin layer of shredded leaves over your grass will allow the leaves to decompose and provide nutrients for your soil, but the leaves won’t smother your turf. 

This step is completely optional, but can really benefit your yard’s overall appearance in the future. Just note that if you have any diseased trees, it’s best to safely dispose of the leaves to prevent further infection.

Keep on Mowing

Our final recommendation for the perfect lawn is simple: keep mowing. Your grass doesn’t enter its dormancy period until frost comes and the ground freezes, so trimming your grass regularly is a great way to encourage further root growth. When you mow in the fall, however, adjust your blade just a bit so your grass isn’t as short as it would be in the summertime. 

And there you have it! These steps will help you get your lawn ready for winter and looking nice year-round, when you can see it. Once the snow melts, your yard will thank you! For lawn maintenance, including fertilization and aeration services, contact us for a consultation today!
