SPRING IS HERE,
Spring is here and now its time to start to look at all of the Winter damage. Winter damage you say, Well here are some items you want to look for.
- Tree and limb damage from all of the hard winds we have had.
- Shrub damage from snow and ice, limbs broken off the plant material and animal damage.
- Lawn damage from the snow and ice.
- Spring clean up to remove all of the debris including limbs, sticks, trash and leaves that collected. These items can keep the lawn from growing properly in the Spring.
- Structure damage from all of the winds.
Keep in mind when it comes to tree repair and structure repair we always recommend you call a professional as these items can be very dangerous chores to tackle.
SPRING LAWN REPAIR,
Now is a good time to start thinking about Spring Lawn Repair. Gee what do you mean by that ? Well the lawns will have dead spots in them from last Summer and Fall from being so dry out and Winter wasn’t any better with the winds being so strong. So how do I identify bad spots ? The spots will be brown and can be in many shapes and sizes. How do we repair them?
- Rake up all of the dead thatch in the dead areas.
- Loosen the soil well.
- Install leaf grow compost or some kind of non Mushroom compost.
- Aerate the area well.
- Install a high quality seed mix ( NOT CONTRACTORS SEED MY OPINION ONLY )
- Opitional – cover seed with some soil not needed if you choose not to.
- Cover area with straw or erosion control matting and pin to spec.
- Water daily all of the 2025 growing season unless raining. Not watering will allow weeds to grow and seed not to germinate and you just wasted your time and money.
- Mow weekly on 3.5 -4.0 inches keeping the lawn high. This helps with weed control.
- Fertilize and perform weed control as directed.
PLANTS,
Plants are like humans they get hot and thirsty. In weather like this I recommend you water daily or at least three times weekly to help your plant out. New plant material will need water daily or they will die from heat scorch and root burn. The best way for trees and plants are watering bags. If you can’t afford the bags take 5 gal buckets and drill very small holes in the bottom and fill them and set them at the plant rotating the bucket so all sides get water equally. This will help the plant alot and make them much heathier in the long run. Not sure what to do please feel free to contact our trained staff and they will help you get through the heat related questions. STAY COOL!!
