Top 5 Things To Do To Get Your Yard Ready For Spring

1. CLEAN LEAVES/STICKS OUT OF BEDS AND OFF LAWN
   Heavy compacted leaves smother emerging spring bulbs and flowers. Leaving leaves on the lawn kills the grass underneath and will cause summer bald spots. Bald spots are an open invitation to crab grass and summer lawn weeds.
2. TRIM BOXWOODS NOW
   February is the BEST time to trim boxwoods, especially if you want them reduced in size or they need “cloud pruning”.
3. TRIM CRAPE-MYRTLES
   The shape of a crape-myrtle is not determined by the variety, but by the way it is trimmed. Cleaning out deadwood and crossing-branches is essential to maintaining plant health, and pruned crape-myrtles have more blossoms. Crape-myrtles should be trimmed before they begin putting out new branches.
4. CUT BACK MONKEY GRASS AND ORNAMENTAL GRASSES
   Before fresh green shoots appear, grasses need to be trimmed close to the ground. If left untrimmed, grasses will end up messy and matted, filled with damaged and dead grass from the previous year.
5. MULCH AND TRENCH BEDS
   Nothing says “Hello Spring!” like freshly cleaned, sharply trenched and mulched beds!
