Winter is not the best time to prune trees and shrubs. Many plants have lost their leaves making it easier to see their framework and decide which branches to remove. However, do not prune plants that bloom in the spring, as you could remove next springs flowers. Prune these pants after the blooms fall off in the spring. Also keep in mind that you still need to water your grass even when your lawn is in dormancy. Winter is also a good time to mulch your trees and plants to help moderate temperatures and soil moisture. It is always a good ideal to cover your shrubs/plants when a frost is expected. |

Summer means watering. To provide your landscape and lawn with the correct amount of water, lean about the specific needs for your lawn, trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants. This is important to avoid drought stress, but also to avoid over watering, which can be detrimental as drought. And remember, any season is the right time to make sure your shrubs and trees are properly mulched in order to moderate temperatures, maintain sol moisture, deter weeds, and enhance the attractiveness of your yard. However, a avoid mulching directly around the trunks of trees and ornamental plants, as this can lead to rot. |
