Will Spring Ever Have Sprung?

As the month of March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, and as the snow melts off our lawns, we see that this last winter has taken quite a toll on the grass and plants. Brutal ice storms have damaged trees and shrubs, and the abundance of snow has left the grass a wet, muddy mess. In preparation for Spring, there is plenty we can do to ensure that our gardens once again become a beautiful landscape.
Step 1: Prune trees and shrubs. Broken limbs should be cut where the limb meets the tree trunk in a clean cut.
Step 2: Spring Clean-ups. Raking debris off grass, removing tree limbs that broke off during the winter and sweeping dirt off sidewalks will allow your plants to grow better and stronger. It will make room for new growth.
Step 3: Begin weeding early, while the weeds are easy to pull out and have yet to spread.
Step 4: Fertilize lawn to stimulate growth.
Step 5: Install mulch to reduce weeds and lock moisture into soil.
Step 6: Consider installing a deck or patio in order to enjoy your beautiful landscape.
Step 7: Relax and enjoy the upcoming warm weather!
