Fall Bulbs:
Nothing adds excitement to your spring landscape like a colorful blend of bulbs. Tulips, hyacinth and daffodils all require planting in the fall so they stay cool throughout the winter season and bloom in the spring.
Irrigation Tips:
Schedule the winterization and shut down of your sprinkler system.
Landscape Lighting:
If you currently have a system in place, make sure that all the lights are in proper working order before the winter months.
Winter Interest and Decor: Schedule holiday greens for containers to help create welcoming entrances and focal points to your home. Garlands and wreaths also make for an inviting welcome for guests.
Dormant Pruning:
Call to schedule dormant pruning for your trees and shrubs to improve tree/shrub health and structure. Pruning also maintains the size and natural form of trees, while extending their useful life.
Winter Mulching:
Winter mulching reduces frost heave and freeze damage, delays the early emergence of bulbs and perennials, insulates perennials from harsh, cold winters and improves soil nutrients.
Tree Wrap:
Newly planted trees should be wrapped for at least two winters and thin-barked species up to five winters or more. Protect multi-stemmed evergreen trees from storm damage by tying trunks with nylon of twine. Make sure to remove these items when warmer weather emerges.
Transfilm:
Transfilm is an anti-desiccant that effectively reduces the water loss of plants. Coating the leaves with a thin film of Transfilm can provide a water impermeable barrier that reduces the water loss from transpiration.
