The summer heat is still upon us for many. As weather goes, some areas of the country have received too much rain, but for more than 50 percent of the states there is some degree of drought conditions they must contend with. So, with Mother Nature not lending a helping hand it is time to [...]
A southern Dallas County community was full of activity last Sunday, as the final efforts of volunteers laying down rubber mulch were completed.

We have been speaking for years on the topic of playground safety as each year more than 200,000 children are taken to the emergency room as result of an accident or fall on the playground.

Are we at risk of running out of water? For many, it is a rite of spring and summer to manicure our lawns to the point that they rival the turf of professional stadiums. Part of this process is to water, water and water even more. A recent report states that the average homeowner uses more than 20,000 gallons of water each year…just to water the lawn. Troubling? Yes, as the EPA has stated that 36 states could face a water shortage by 2013. In just three years more than 70% of the country could have restrictions placed on water usage.
We need to do everything thing we can to conserve and reduce our water usage, so why not start with a small step and replace that worn out wood mulch with rubber mulch that will not waste this precious resource.
