Spring is just around the corner and February is the perfect time to start planning your landscaping for the year! Here are a few tips to get you started in the right direction!

  • Except for maples, birches, willows and yellowwood, now is a good time to prune trees.
  • Re-shape evergreen shrubs and shade trees, as needed, during the winter dormant period.
  • Plant any bare-root plants including fruit and nut trees as well as roses.
  • Remove any dead plants or weeds from your garden areas.
  • Begin refreshing your mulch. Mulching reduces evaporation, retains moisture in the soil, suppresses weeds, helps with erosion, and adds nutrients to the soil.
