Spring Lawn & Landscape

Freshen Up Your Mulch: Adding fresh mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds and regulate soil temperature. We recommend a 1-2 inch layer of high quality mulch in flower beds and around trees.

Begin A Lawn Fertilization Program: The first round of fertilization should be applied in early spring (March-April) to boost grass growth and replenish nutrients lost over the winter. A well-timed fertilization program promotes a lush and green lawn.

Prune & Trim Ornamental Plants: Now is the time to trim back ornamental grasses, perennials and any shrubs that need shaping before new growth starts. Proper pruning encourages strong and healthy plants.

Prepare for New Plantings – If you’re considering adding new trees, shrubs or perennials. Early spring is a great time to plant before the summer heat arrives. Ensure the soil is properly prepared to give new plants a strong start.

Aerate & Overseed: If your lawn has bare patches or compacted soil. Spring aeration and over-seeding can help improve growth. Aeration allows nutrients and water to penetrate deeper into the soil for healthier grass.
