Spring Landscapes & Curb Appeal: Secrets from Southern Landscape Group & Bass Sod Farm
Transform your outdoor living space just in time for spring! In this episode of The HOME Show, presented by DoorTek Garage Door Service, hosts Rich Roth and HOME magazine editor Jen Redmond alongside HOME art director Kira Rider dive deep into the world of landscaping, hardscaping, and achieving the perfect lawn.
We sit down with Mark Maslow, owner of Southern Landscape Group, to discuss “Landscaping as an Investment.” Mark shares professional insights on building functional outdoor living spaces—from patios and fire pits to choosing deer-resistant plants—and explains why a well-planned landscape is actually less expensive in the long run.
Later, we’re joined by co-owner W.B. Bass alongside Jacob and Michele from Bass Sod Farm. If you’re tired of a patchy yard, learn the differences between Fescue, Bermuda, and Zoysia grasses, and find out why sod is the “ultimate makeover” for instant curb appeal.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The ROI of Curb Appeal: How exterior maintenance translates to real estate value.
Smart Planning: Why forecasting plant growth saves you from ripping out shrubs 10 years down the road.
Sod vs. Seed: The benefits of instant turf and the critical “first two weeks” of watering.
Retractable Screens: Jake Nuckols from DoorTek explains the benefits of Phantom Screens for entryways and oversized doors.
Smith Mountain Lake Living: A look inside the new SML edition of HOME Magazine featuring three showcase homes.
