Californians are faced with one of the worst droughts in history and have been forced to significantly reduce water use.  One of the main ways water is being saved is by drastically reducing landscape irrigation.  This unfortunately leaves homeowners with minimal options when trying to maintain an aesthetically pleasing yard.  Homeowners can allow their lawns to turn brown, convert them to expensive synthetic lawns, or removal lawns all together in exchange for drought tolerant landscape.  Unfortunately with talks of a wet winter this year many people may wish they still had their beautiful green lawns.

 

Chase Calhoun, Owner of Keepin It Green offers a solution for bay area residents who would like to drastically reduce watering but still keep their lawns a beautiful green color.  Keepin It Green colors them with a mineral and plant based stain which is applied like a paint.  The product is environmentally friendly and plant, pet, and child safe.  The stain has no added chemicals, doesn’t wash off, can last as long as 4 months and is sprayed on the lawn coloring it a beautiful green.  The service starts at $250 dollars which will cover up to 1,000 Square feet of lawn and will greatly improve the aesthetic looks of your lawn during these extreme drought conditions.  For more information, to receive a free price quote, or to schedule an appointment contact Chase (925) 260-5302, chase.keepinitgreen@gmail.com, www.KeepinItGreen.net

Would you believe that a thief can get into your home in less than a minute using only a coat hanger? What if we told you that you can prevent them from getting in in even less time? Recently, a news station in Texas reported on a number of break-ins through homeowner’s garages using a coat hanger to pull the emergency release handle on the garage door. Even if you have a home alarm, chances are that it would not go off if your garage door was opened. The station has posted a video on YouTube showing how the thieves get in and a second video showing how a simple zip tie can be the solution to keeping them out.
