A little effort
goes a long way.

Consider these seasonal tips to help you get the most from your landscape.

Spring

[+] Grass height

Maintain the healthiest height for your lawn 2 ½ to 3".
[+] Mowing

Mow during the cooler part of the day and early morning or early evening is best.
[+] Lawn clippings

Grass-cycle! That means that you leave grass clippings on your lawn after mowing and allow the clippings to decay naturally. This process returns significant amounts of nutrients that your lawn will use to grow.
[+] Tree trimming

Many types of evergreens (juniper, cedar, spruce) have produced their spring flush of growth and trimming them now can help keep their shape.
[+] Shrub pruning

Flowering shrubs should be pruned soon after flowers have finished to avoid effecting next year’s flowering.
[+] Mowing when wet

Avoid cutting wet grass. The clippings will clump together and smother your lawn.
[+] Pruning

Prune landscaping plants to improve their health and beauty. Focus on removing dead branches and any that rub together. Reshape your plant as needed to fit the environment or thin crowns to improve air circulation and reduce disease.
[+] Warning signs

Be on the look out for random patches or wilted/browned turf which may be signs of drought stress, disease or insects.
[+] Spot watering

Consider ‘spot watering’ to the areas of your lawn that are most prone to drought.
[+] Overseeding

It is not too early to over-seed your lawn to thicken and revive turf. Seed must contact soil and remain moist until it is fully established to have the most chance of success.
