Spring Garden Wake Up
As Spring rapidly approaches we are advising clients to get a jump-start on the growing season and scheduling before the Spring flood gates open and we get swamped.
Spring Garden Chores That Should Be Started Now
- Inspection/ pruning of Winter damage in shrubs/trees before delicate new growth emerges
- Prune Grasses and perennials so new growth emerges easily
- Focus on planting areas that ‘don’t work’ and develop alternative solutions
- Identify perennials/shrubs in need of division/transplanting
- Prune Grasses and perennials so new growth emerges easily
- Removal of residual leaves (pesky Oaks!) debris to insure air circulation around plant crowns
- Removing/replacing stale mulch to encourage bulb and plant emergence
- ‘Fluffing’ mulch to allow better air and water penetration to plant roots
- Identification of wet areas to allow quick correction before planting
- Inspection of downspouts/drain lines to insure clear flow
- Resetting/replacing step-stones that have sunk into soil
- Evaluate soil quality in containers/pots before Spring planting
- Inspect wires and trellises
Last but not least, let’s meet to discuss your vision for the Garden and create a plan to achieve your goals for Spring and the future
