Getting Ready for Spring and Summer

Now is the time to prepare for spring and summer. Here are some tips that will help you have a beautiful landscape, be admired by your neighbors and save water at the same time:

Apply mulch around trees, shrubs and flowering plants to conserve water and help reduce the growth of weeds. Use either pine straw or hardwood chips; these are the most effective materials for protecting your plants.

A layer of mulch three to four inches thick is best, being careful to give the stems of the plants some breathing room, not crowding the mulch directly on the plant.

Proper aeration when your Bermuda or Zoysia lawn is 90 percent green will assure better water absorption, stimulate root growth and healthier grass. Core aeration, which removes plugs of dirt, is more effective than simply poking holes in your lawn.
