PLANNING YOUR YARD’S MAKEOVER? GET STARTED NOW FOR A GREENER SPRING
Watering Best Practices We recommend that you water your plants in the morning. Watering at night will draw more bugs to your plants, as insects are more active at night. And if you water during the afternoon, a lot of the water typically evaporates due to the heat. Stay Consistent Another important reminder is to follow the old adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” You can get a new plant or tree, follow all the steps perfectly, and, for whatever reason, it won’t survive the way you want. It’s not unusual that you will need to try multiple times to have your new plants take root and start to thrive. The same principle of persistence and patience also applies if you are having professional lawn treatments applied. When you begin a lawn treatment program, you won’t hire a company and then see instant perfection. It can take a few years to reach the desired results.
Even though we’re in the
middle of winter, now is a great time to plan for your yard. You might have a big overhaul in mind or
be looking to tweak and refresh only a section of your yard. Either way, there are some helpful tips you can keep in mind to enhance your chances for success when the sun moves back north and warm weather returns.
Following the Fundamentals First, let’s look at planting basics. If your yard refresh plans include planting new pieces, use fresh topsoil and stay on top of the prescribed watering schedules for your plants and trees.
It’s never too early to plan for planting success. With care, patience, and persistence, you can help your yard spring forward with new life.
