1. Apply Pre-Emergent

If you despise things like crabgrass invading your turf, early spring is the time to take action. Crabgrass is an annual warm season grass that is tough to control once it has emerged, which is why it requires a special application before you actually see the problem occurring. Applications of pre-emergent in your shrubbery beds and under your trees will keep your beds maintained before weeds start competing with your perennials and growing annuals.

2. Cut Back Your Perennials

Now is the time to cut back the plants that have fall blooms. For the flowers that bloom in the spring, wait until they are done flowering or you won't get to enjoy all of the beautiful hues of spring time! Cutting back your perennials helps to promote new growth and is aesthetically pleasing.

3. Apply a Thin Layer of Fresh Mulch

Applying mulch to your shrubbery beds provides nutrients for your plants and also helps to minimize breakthrough on any weed seeds hanging out. Mulch also has good water retention to help beat the heat in those scorching summer months. Be careful not to apply too much — our arborist recommends never applying more than 2 inches of mulch and never covering the basal flare of a tree.

4. Edge Your Beds

No need to get out your spade for digging and laying down bricks. A little Round Up can go a long way in giving your shrubbery beds a nice finished look. A clean edge makes all the difference in a polished, well-maintained yard.
