Why I'm Stealing Landscaping Ideas From Marlboro Office Parks
There's a corporate park near Route 9 that puts my yard to shame. Every time I drive past its perfectly edged walkways and thriving shrubs, I die a little inside.
Turns out, commercial landscaping tricks work for homes too. Baur's commercial page showed me:
Mulch volcanoes are evil (proper tree rings matter)
Strategic lighting makes spaces usable at night
Edging isn't just aesthetic - it prevents weed creep
Why This Works in Marlboro: ✔ Handles our clay soil ✔ Survives summer droughts ✔ Looks polished year-round
New life goal: Make my front yard look 10% as good as that insurance company's landscaping.
