If your garden has lost its charm, it might be time for a refresh. Whether you want to modernize your plant selection or create a more low-maintenance space, garden renovations can bring beauty, structure, and new life to your yard. Here are some expert ideas from the team at Mayan Lawn LLC & Landscaping : 1. Update Your Plant Palette Swap outdated or struggling plants with native or drought-tolerant varieties. Not only do they thrive in Nevada’s climate, but they also require less water and maintenance.  2. Add Pathways and Borders Define your garden layout with stone or gravel pathways, decorative edging, or raised beds. These additions create structure and visual interest while making your space easier to maintain. 3. Incorporate Color and Texture Mix perennials and annuals with varying textures, colors, and bloom times to keep your garden looking lively throughout the year. Decorative mulch or rock beds can also add contrast and reduce weed growth. 4. Install Drip Irrigation For water efficiency and plant health, consider a drip irrigation system. It delivers moisture directly to roots and prevents water waste—perfect for the Nevada heat. 5. Create Focal Points Add garden art, a bench, or a water feature to draw attention and provide a peaceful place to relax. Focal points make your garden feel intentional and inviting. Let us help you turn your outdated garden into a space you love. Reach out to Mayan Lawn LLC & Landscaping for professional garden renovation services that match your vision and budget.

Whether you're looking to sell your home or simply make it more inviting, investing in professional landscaping is one of the best decisions you can make. At Mayan Lawn LLC & Landscaping, we’ve seen firsthand how quality landscaping improves both property value and quality of life. 1. Boost Curb Appeal First impressions matter. A well-maintained yard with trimmed hedges, clean walkways, and vibrant greenery immediately tells potential buyers (or guests) that your home is cared for and aesthetically pleasing.  2. Increase Property Value Studies have shown that professional landscaping can increase a home’s value by as much as 15%. Well-designed outdoor spaces are a sought-after feature, especially in markets like Nevada where outdoor living is a year-round option. 3. Enhance Outdoor Living Landscaping isn't just about appearance—it also improves functionality. From patios and garden beds to shaded sitting areas, a landscaped yard becomes an extension of your living space. 4. Save Time and Stress Professional landscapers take the guesswork out of lawn care and design.

Maintaining a lush, green lawn in Nevada’s climate can be a challenge—but with the right care and timing, it’s absolutely possible. At Mayan Lawn LLC & Landscaping, we’ve helped countless homeowners achieve beautiful lawns, even in the toughest conditions. Here are five essential lawn care tips to keep your yard healthy year-round: 1. Mow Properly Cutting your grass too short can stress it and lead to brown patches. Stick to the one-third rule: never remove more than one-third of the grass height at a time. For Nevada’s climate, a height of 2.5 to 3 inches is ideal for most grasses. 2. Water Early and Deeply Water your lawn in the early morning to reduce evaporation. Aim for longer, less frequent watering sessions to encourage deeper root growth. Generally, lawns need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. 3. Fertilize Seasonally Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in the spring to jumpstart growth. A lighter application in late summer or early fall can help prepare your lawn for the winter months. Always follow product instructions to avoid over-fertilization. 4. Aerate Annually Aeration reduces soil compaction and allows water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the grass roots more effectively. Fall is an ideal time to aerate lawns in Nevada. 5. Keep It Clean Remove leaves, sticks, and debris regularly to prevent suffocating your lawn and creating breeding grounds for pests and disease. Need help managing your lawn?
