EXTERIOR DESIGN
Attract Birds and Wildlife
For generations, homeowners have
had a desire to attract more wildlife by
way of bird houses, feeders, baths, etc.,
as well as pollinator-friendly flowers and
shrubs. Adding native plants and trees
helps support wildlife as well.
" Songbirds, butterflies and other
types of wildlife rely on native plants
for food and habitat, " according
to the Maryland Extension office.
" Populations of birds, insects and
other beneficial wildlife are in decline
due to habitat loss. [Plant] choices
matter and can support animals that
provide pollination, pest control, and
natural beauty. "

Feather Reed Grass and Switch Grass
can make great screens, as they retain
their beauty through the winter,

entire look of a kitchen or laundry
room - and now homeowners are
taking this trend outdoors. Whether
to create a stylish surface for the patio
or to continue the look of the indoor
space outdoors (remember, bringing
the indoors out) tile provides a durable
and waterproof flooring.
A recent study from The Freedonia
Group says " the growing popularity of
outdoor living ... is driving consumer
interest in materials that can
unify indoor-outdoor aesthetics for a
seamless transition between spaces.
(Think stone patio pavers that match
the flooring in an adjoining interior
room, or using the same stone tiling in
the backsplashes of both indoor and
outdoor kitchens.) "
The Freedonia study " Hardscaping
Products " predicts rock and stone
will continue to benefit from the
outdoor living trend of adding
hardscaped areas with higher-value
finishes that bring indoors aesthetics
outside. Natural stone is especially
popular in upscale outdoor living
hardscape installations, where cost is
less of a factor; rock and stone can be
used as both pavers and outdoor kitchen
flooring. It is also used as veneer in
outdoor kitchen facades, retaining walls,
and fire pits and fireplaces.
