5 low-maintenance lawn alternatives
METRO CREATIVE
A traditional lawn may not
be right for every property
nor desired by every home-
owner. There is no denying
that lawns take time and
effort to establish and daily
or weekly maintenance to
thrive. Homeowners who
find that a traditional lawn
is not practical can explore
some low-maintenance
alternatives.

where grasses are left to

thrive and look good.

Pristine, snow-covered
landscapes can be wonders
to behold. While that blanket

cold, heavy piles of snow.
Snow plows push salt and
sand up on the grass while
subterranean animals such
as mice and moles dig bur-
rows beneath piles of snow
as they try to find food and
stay warm.
Such conditions are not
favorable for thriving land-

thaw arrives, lawns may be
in dire need of some TLC.
The following techniques
can mitigate winter-related
lawn damage:
n Clear out debris.

How to address moss in the lawn
Lawn care can be a labor of love. Maintaining a pristine lawn is no small task, but it’s one that many
homeowners proudly take on, knowing that all the hard work and time spent outside on sunny summer
afternoons is well worth the sweat equity.
After putting in so much effort to create a lush, green lawn, it’s understandable if homeowners react
with disbelief when something threatens the health of their turf. Moss is one such threat. Recognizing
the threat moss poses is the first step to corralling it before it overtakes a lawn.
EXPLAINING MOSS
Moss can be especially menacing because its green appearance allows it to blend in with grass
rather easily. As moss spreads, it becomes more noticeable. According to the turf care experts at
Scotts, moss is a plant with shallow roots that spreads by spores and root-like structures called rhi-
zoids. Moss is opportunistic, and it will grow where turfgrass is thin and weak. However, moss does
not kill the grass. Rather, the conditions that promote the growth of moss can kill the grass. Such
conditions may include compacted soil or excessive thatch, acidic or infertile soil, excessive shade,
and insufficient or excessive watering.
HOW CAN MOSS BE CONTROLLED?
Metro Creative Connection
Penn State Extension notes that the first step to controlling moss is to test the soil. Soil test kits Homeowners who find that a traditional lawn is not practical

Activities to mark Earth Day in Livingston County
BY BEN BEAGLE
ben@livingstonnews.com
Earth Day arrives April
22, but clean-ups and other
special events are planned
through the weekend and
beyond across Livingston
County.
The Rotary Clubs of Liv-
ingston County will partici-
pate in the Rotary Great Lakes
Watershed Cleanup, a joint
initiative between Canadiana
nd American Rotary clubs
bordering the Great Lakes.
Rotary District 7120, which
includes clubs in Livingston
County, will clean up pub-
lic access areas in the Lake
Ontario watershed, including
to Genesee River and Fin-
ger Lakes. The work will be
done in conjunction with the
Conesus Lake Association’s
annual lake cleanup.
The Avon and Caledonia
Rotary clubs will work on
the Genesee Boat Launch in
Avon on the morning of April
24, then move to Vitale Park
in Lakeville in the afternoon
to work on the park and the
Conesus Creek outlet to the
lake. The Geneseo Rotary
Club will work at Long Point
Park in the morning and then
move to Vitale Park in the
afternoon. The Nunda Rotary
Club will work in the south
area of Letchworth State Park.
Anyone wishing to join
the Rotary Clubs efforts
may contact Gary Anderson
at gwa1948@aol.com or by
calling (571) 212-0483.
The Little Lakes Commu-
nity Association will present
a free tree-planting work-
shop from 11 a.m. to noon
on the grounds of the Little
Lake Community Center,
4705 South Main St., Hem-
lock, with Livingston County
Soil and Water Conserva-
tion District Director Robert
Stryker. Sign up is requested
in advance as the workshop
is limited to 20 participants.
Sign-up information is avail-
able on the LLCA website,
www.littlelakesny.org.
The Association will also
have free trees available for
pickup for those who have
placed orders in advance.
Orders for deciduous or ever-
green trees, shrubs and ground
covers are due by April 22 at
www.littlelakesny.org. Pick-
up will be available from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. April 24.
The LLCA is offering the
trees from the Livingston
County Soil and Water Con-
servation District as a way
to celebrate Earth Day and
Arbor Day (which is April
30).
Livingston County offi-
cials, who in recent years
have coordinated community
clean-up events, are encour-
aging a “socially distant or
individual” community clean-
up for 2021 without large
gatherings of people due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
County residents cans till
work together to advance the
environmental health of Liv-
ingston County, officials said
in a news release.
The county encourages res-
idents to recognize Earth Day
by conducting earth-friendly
activities at home between
April 22 and 26. Those activi-
ties may include:
n Cleanup leaves, sticks,
and brush.
n Prepare gardens for
spring plantings.
n Plant trees, bushes and
flowers.
n Collect nearby roadside
debris with permission from
local, county or state entities.
n Recycle cardboard, plas-
tics, glass and aluminum.
n Safely include, with
proper distancing, kids, teens
and others in Earth Day-relat-
ed activities.
n Educate family, friends
and neighbors on the impor-
tance of recycling and main-
taining a healthy environ-
ment.
Residents are encouraged
to send in a photo of their
cleanup activities by post-
ing to Livingston County’s
Facebook and Twitter pages
and tagging the county using
#cleanuplivco.
The Little Lakes Commu-
nity Association and Geneseo
Boy Scouts got a head start on
Earth Day celebrations, with
special events on April 17.
The Association was part of
the fifth annual “Take Pride
in Hemlock Day,” a commu-
nity clean-up with supplies
and safety equipment provid-
ed by the state Department of
Transportation.
Boy Scouts of America
Troop 4070 of Geneseo led a
Community Planting and Gar-
dening Event at Long Point
Park in Geneseo. The Scouts
will lead two sessions, which
each featured three activities:
planting three 8-foot tall trees
at the park, providing partici-
pants with a plant your own
vegetable garden in a take-
home garden tray, and provid-
ing a free sapling or ornamen-
tal bush with live planting
demonstrations from Master
Gardener Julie Brocklehurst-
Woods of Geneseo.
Eric Randall of the Mas-
ter Forest Owner Program
of Cornell University led a
walking tour of the trees at
Long Point Park. Megan Har-
ris of the Finger Lakes Insti-
tute shared information about
aquatic invasive species at
Conesus Lake.
“Conservation work and
outdoor experiences have
been part of Scouting from
the beginning,” says Troop
4070 Scoutmaster and Eagle
Scout Bryan French. “Every-
one knows about global
warming, the damage from
the Emerald Ash Borer, and
the importance of trees to our
planet. Our Scouts are giv-
ing our community a chance
to do something about these
issues.”

3 questions to determine if it’s best to renovate on your own
METRO CREATIVE
A do-it-yourself mentality
has taken hold in millions of
households across the globe.
Popular television channels
such as HGTV and DIY
Network and accessible
home improvement content
on apps such as YouTube
has inspired many home-
owners to tackle renovation
projects around their homes.
Taking such initiative is
admirable, though it also
can prove costly if home-
owners end up biting off
more than they can chew.
Home improvement vid-
eos and television shows
have a tendency to over-
simplify renovation proj-
ects, potentially giving
homeowners a false sense
of confidence in their DIY
abilities. A concerted effort
on the part of homeowners
to determine if it’s best to
renovate on their own or
hire a professional should
always be the first step of
any renovation project.
No two homeowners are
the same, but the follow-
ing three questions can help
homeowners determine if
DIY is their best option.
1. CAN I AFFORD TO DIY?
Professional home
improvement projects are
costly for a variety of rea-
sons. Materials can be cost-
ly, but so are the tools and
labor necessary to do the
job right.
Homeowners may not
have the tools necessary to
complete complicated proj-
ects. Specialty tools can be
How to add shade to a deck or patio
METRO CREATIVE
Homeowners eagerly await the
arrival of the warm weather so they
can cast off the remnants of cabin
fever and bask in the sunshine.
However, as summer nears its dog
days, the same sun homeowners
once coveted can contribute to
uncomfortable conditions in out-
door entertaining spaces.
Meteorologists at WHAS-TV in
Kentucky took to their neighbor-
hoods in July 2020 to test just how
hot surfaces get in sun during peak
daytime temperatures. Concrete in
the sun almost all day reached
a temperature of 134.7 F, while
the same concrete in the shade
clocked in at just under 80 F. When
air temperatures are around 90 F,
unshaded concrete and asphalt can
be 125 F and 140 F, respectively.
While wood decking may not be as
hot as asphalt and concrete, it still
can get steamy underfoot.
Homeowners who want to be
able to enjoy their outdoor spaces
in an array of temperatures can
think about investing in shade
solutions. Sun-blocking ideas such
as awnings, shade trees and large
umbrellas can help people enjoy
their yards all day long.
nCanopy: A patio canopy is
typically a freestanding unit that
can be installed over a patio or a
deck. Some people prefer to bolt
it down so it will not be knocked
over in windy conditions. The fab-
ric on the canopy can be removed
during the offseason, helping to
improve its longevity.
nAwning: Awnings may be
stationary or retractable. Many are
installed directly onto a home and
can cast shade on specific areas of
outdoor entertaining spaces.
nShade sail: Similar to an
awning but a bit less structurally
rigid, shade sails are large pieces
of triangular fabric installed over
areas of a patio, pool or landscape,
according to The Family Handy-
man. Shade sails are light and airy
and can be customized.
n Trees: A natural way to
increase shade in a yard is to plant
more shade trees. If sun glare is an

Should I DIY?
expensive to purchase or
even rent, and the cost of
acquiring such tools should
be included in any DIY
project cost estimates.
Labor also factors heav-
ily into professional proj-
ects, and for good reason.
Talented contractors have
unique skills that have been
developed and perfected
over many years. Those
skills can ensure projects
are completed quickly and
correctly.
Labor may seem costly,
but such costs may ultimate-
ly prove to be a bargain
compared to the cost of fix-
ing DIY mistakes.
Projects that are minor
in scope and don’t require
the use of potentially costly
specialty tools may be bet-
ter suited for weekend war-
riors than more complicated
renovations.
2. DO I HAVE THE TIME?
Homeowners must deter-
mine how much time they
have to complete a proj-
ect before deciding to do it
themselves. No one wants
to spend months staring at
an unfinished renovation
project. Homeowners who
are already pressed for time
may not be able to complete
projects in a timely fashion,
which can make homes less
comfortable and even less
safe.
3. CAN I PULL THIS OFF?
DIY projects can instill
homeowners with a sense
of pride in their homes, but
it’s imperative that home-
issue all year long, and it’s not just
the heat of the sun that is trouble-
some, think about planting ever-
green trees. Deciduous cousins will
drop their leaves in fall and only be
effective during the warm weather.
n Patio umbrellas: Many
umbrellas start at around $25.
Umbrellas can be paired with patio
tables, while stationary cantilever
umbrellas sit out of the way on
their own heavy-duty stands. A
cantilever umbrella tends to pro-
vide more shade than patio table
umbrellas.

block sunlight outdoors the way
they do inside, offers MSN. Hang
curtains from the sides of canopies
or between posts on a deck to pro-
vide shade and cozy spaces.

Bring movie magic outdoors
METRO CREATIVE
Social distancing recommendations issued in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic compelled
people to spend more time at home than ever
before.
As the pandemic wore on, people looked for
ways to enjoy activities in their backyards so they
would not become overwhelmed by cabin fever.
Home theater projectors afford homeowners the
chance to bring the magic of family movie nights
outdoors.
The tech experts at Digital Trends note that
modern projectors are a great way to enjoy a true
cinematic experience at home, even if your “the-
ater” is under the stars in the backyard. Some
projectors are designed to remain outdoors so
long as homeowners take the steps necessary to
protect the devices from the weather.
In fact, projectors are small and so easily
moved that homeowners can take them inside at
the end of each movie to ensure they’re not dam-
aged by the elements. In such instances, only the
screen and the audio components, like speakers,
will require protection from the elements.
But even interior projectors can be taken out-
