I was enjoying the surf while strolling along the beach just north of the Pier yesterday and overheard a family of tourists sitting on the sand discussing the subject of possibly moving to a Manhattan Beach Home from their present home somewhere on the east coast. I thought to myself about how lucky I was to be able to live here and enjoy this perfect weather.

I just cannot imagine living anywhere else but right here in M.B. Read More

Just because the weather is still a little chilly at times here in the South Bay, it doesn't mean you can't start thinking about getting your outdoors areas ready for summer and warm weather. Plans can be made about what plants you are going to put and where. Need to order seeds? Check out those outdoor lights, fix any wiring problems and put in new bulbs if needed. What about the BBQ pit? Do you need to replace the burners or grill area? Also, does the patio floor need a refinish?My suggestion is to talk to a pro and get some advice and new ideas especially if you plan to put your home on the market. Many of us are caught up in the rut of just getting the yard ready every year that we aren't aware of the new products and plants and decorating ideas out there. Think about this: Once you have the planters finished, think about a fountain or water feature someplace in the patio, or yard. Everyone loves them and they look nice, and sound great in the hot summer evenings. So whatever improvements you make to your Torrance home, your family will reap the benefits all summer long and after. Read More
