Landscaping tips for the early season
As the last of the snow begins to melt away, the promise of spring and warmer weather is right around the corner! We are all excited to get outside and survey the effects of another unpredictable New England winter.
Whether you contract a landscaping company for your landscape maintenance or do it yourself, spring clean-up is a very important aspect of keeping your lawn and planting beds healthy. Leaves, sticks and other debris should be removed as soon as possible so that plants and grasses don’t remain smothered causing the potential of lost plant and bare spots on your lawn. The spring is also a great time to dethatch your lawn. This is the process of pulling all the dead grass laying horizontally across the soil blocking valuable water and nutrients from reaching the root system of your lawn. This can be achieved with machines or you can do it the “old fashioned way” with a good stiff raking.
