seasonal tips
Winter
Winter is the best time of the year to prune
trees and shrubs. Pruning can significantly improve the appearance and
strength of shrubs and trees in your landscape.
Spring
Early spring is the time to apply pre-emergent
herbicides to your lawn and landscape. Applications made now will help
reduce many of the summer annual weeds that appear later in the growing
season.
Summer
Because summer rainfall
is infrequent and unreliable, it is essential to water your lawn and landscape
properly. The key is to water deeply with each watering to wet the entire
root zone and promote root growth.
Fall
Fall is the best time for planting trees, shrubs
and flowering bulbs. Fall rains combined with cooler air temperatures and
warm soil temperatures help new plants get established.
