Gardening

Gardening can be a lot of work.  A garden needs regular care to look and be its best.  But that is why we are here.  We can do any garden chore for you.  Whether it's spring or fall clean ups, mulching, weeding, pruning, or trimming.  Generally consistency and timing are key factors. 

By putting a plan into place, the goals become easier to reach.  Here are the best times to perform each task.  Keep in mind these are basic guidelines.

• Pruning
  • cut in late winter to spring for most evergreens, deciduous trees, and shrubs with summer blooms (branches)
    
  • cut in late spring to early summer for plants with spring blooms (branches)
    
  • cut in July/early August for evergreens and non-blooming deciduous trees and shrubs (new growth)
  • avoid cuts in the months of September - December (do so sparingly)
    
• Weeding
  • pull during fall prior to seeding to avoid seed spread and root growth
  • pull during spring/early summer prior to seeding to reduce the amount of new growth and keep summer weeds to a minimum
• Leaf Litter and Debris cleanup
  • remove excess leaves in the fall prior to winter to discourage molds, mildews, fleas and ticks
  • remove remaining debris from the fall prior to new plant growth to prevent molds, mildews, fleas and ticks
• Perennial Care
  • cut back during the season they die back, especially prior to seeding to control spreading
  • divide spring and summer blooming plants in early fall
  • divide fall blooming plants in early to mid spring
• Mulching
  • apply mulch in early to late spring, typically before or around Mother's Day
