Landscaping your new home doesn’t need to seem overwhelming. Before you begin, take the time to research. You’ll want to know what plants do well in your area and keep in mind what functions you and your family want from your yard. Then, make a plan. Get as detailed as you can, use drawings and map out your yard and create the design that works best for your family and your property. Once you have your plan, you’ll need to improve the soil. With new construction, the topsoil may have been removed. Even if it hasn’t, the ground may be hard and compacted due to equipment that was on your property during the construction of your home.

Enriching your soil will be worth it in the long run, because your plants will have a better chance of thriving.
Now you’re ready to put in the plants that will mature to give you beauty and privacy. Remember that you can take your landscaping in stages and that you will want to choose groupings of plants that can be used throughout your design, to keep a consistent and balanced feeling. So, the 4 easy, steps to break your landscaping project into are;

• Research
• Plan
• Prepare
• Plant

Whether you are in our Silvercrest communities in Nevada or are moving into one of our Northern California communities at Vista Ridge or Crowne Point, research and planning will go a long way to making your new Tim Lewis home, uniquely yours.

Nevada! One of the perks and deciding factors of making the choice to settle into the Silver State is the fact that there are tax benefits for being a resident. Here’s some information to help you understand what those benefits are.

For an individual, the most appealing benefit to being a resident is that fact that there’s NO personal income tax. From that starting point, it just gets more attractive!
There’s also NO inheritance tax and NO estate tax. For businesses the advantages are; No corporate income tax, NO franchise tax, No inventory tax and NO unitary tax. Knowing all of this, it’s no wonder so many people are migrating to the beautiful state of Nevada!

The single, most important prerequisite for a taxpayer to take advantage of Nevada’s “tax hospitality” is domiciling one’s self in the state. In simple terms, this means the individual must make Nevada his principal place of residence-his primary home.

If you want more information on the specific ins and outs of Nevada’s tax advantages, you can visit the Nevada Treasurer’s website.

There are many great reasons to live in Nevada! Tim Lewis Communities wants to help you see all the beauty of making Nevada your home. Click here to contact one of our Nevada resident agents and see the view through our windows.
