The best pool filter sand for a sparkling swimming pool
Try one these pool filter sand products
Sand filter

Sand particles start with rough edges, so when debris passes through the filter, some of it will be caught in the sand and eventually lose their rough edges and need to be replaced. Most sand filters can handle particle that measure 20 microns or larger, which is plenty of coverage if you otherwise keep your pool clean. After a while, though, the filter can become full.

Most professionals recommend replacing the sand in your filter every five years. Because of that length of time, you really want to make sure you buy high-quality sand, so your pool will stay cleaner for longer. This is especially true for above-ground pools.

DIY 101: Repair concrete gaps and instantly enhance your home’s curb appeal
How to fill large gaps in concrete so your home's exterior isn't an eyesore

Cold weather and ice aren't just uncomfortable for us physically. They can also cause a lot of damage around your property. While you can winterize your flower beds, your lawn, and even your house in order to prevent winter damage, there's a lot less you can do about cold weather damaging your concrete. While concrete is tough, cracks inevitably happen, and they make for unsightly and unsafe gaps in driveways, stairs, and walkways. Read on to learn about why you should repair cracks quickly and how to fill large gaps in concrete.

Why you should repair cracks in concrete
Sure, a crack in your concrete patio or walkway is ugly, but is it really necessary to fix them? There are actually some important reasons you should repair cracks sooner rather than later. Here are the benefits of fixing those gaps.
Enhances curb appeal
If you're trying to sell your home, curb appeal is crucial. Cracks and gaps in your concrete give your home an unkempt appearance and may make prospective buyers wonder what else has been neglected. Fixing those gaps enhances your curb appeal and could lead to higher property value since buyers will be willing to pay more for a home with pristine concrete.
Eliminates safety hazards
Small cracks in concrete grow and turn into large gaps, which pose safety risks such as trips and falls. Keep your family and guests safe by filling in the gaps and making the hazardous spot safer.
Prevents further damage
Small cracks are easier to repair than the large gaps they grow into, so it's best to fix the problem while it's small. Also, cracks in your concrete take in water, which washes away the soil underneath the concrete and makes the gap grow even more. Water in the cracks poses an even bigger risk — flooding your basement — if the crack is close to the foundation of your house.

Gardening is a lot of work, but it can be well worth it if you do a little homework before you start digging. If you want your flower beds and garden to bloom for longer than a few weeks, you can't just plant seeds without care and expect month-long results. In fact, many perennial plants, those that you do not need to replant every year, have relatively short flowering seasons, leaving your garden looking a little bare for a good portion of the summer. And after all that work, there is nothing worse than looking at a bare garden.

So how do you get your garden to look gorgeous all summer? We’ve pulled together a list of perennials that will boast beautiful blossoms throughout the entire summer and return year after year with an abundance of color and fragrance. For a more interesting-looking flower bed, be sure to incorporate a variety of heights, a cohesive color scheme, and flowering plants that thrive in varying amounts of sunlight. Check out the recommendations below to build long-lasting floral arrangements you can enjoy for months on end.

Tall Perennials
Tall perennial plants prevent your garden from looking too uniform and crowded. Be sure to place them in the back or in an area where they won't block other plants.  A few of our favorites include:
