Owner, Tom O’Neil, had a passion for viticulture when his college, Michigan State University, created a certificate program for it.  He comleted his internship at Chateau Ste. Michelle in Patterson and has been working with wine ever since. 

They will be concentrating on mostly red wines like cabernet, syrah, and merlot; however, they will also feature chardonnay and Riesling.  Future plans also consist of holding small concerts and events next summer.

Fall is fast approaching.  Here are 5 steps you can take inorder to winterize your lawn.  This will be especially helpful if you plan to sell your house this Spring.

3.  Fertilize, Fertilize, Fertilize!!  Feeding your grass, trees, and shrubs well in the Fall will allow them to look healthier and greener in the Spring. 

 4.  When mowing your lawn in the Fall, only mow down 1/3 of the grass blades length.  Then, return the grass clippings to the lawn for added nutrients. 

5.  Lastly, walk around your property and what do you see?  Identify problem areas, like overgrown shrubs that need pruned or flowers that may need replaced.  It’s important to look for trees or shrubs that may interfere with the roof or powerlines.  If needed, be sure to contact a local professional who could help with any landscape needs. 

When Spring rolls around, be sure to contact Distinctive Properties when ready to buy or sell.
